Hush Money
It was bound to happen. Rick Warren, evangelical pastor of a California megachurch, has organized the first primetime face to face with the two presidential candidates. He's not going to get into piddling things like the war in Iraq and the economy, no, he's going to ask personal questions. You know, like what's their relationship with Jesus. In other words, it's the de facto religion test forbidden by the constitution. It's a bit scary, given this gaping disconnect between the holier than anybody public faces of our politicians and the revelations about the private conduct of so many of them, not just now but throughout history.

True, we are living in very strange times, times worthy if not of a Jonathon Swift certainly of a Cole Porter who said the world has gone mad today and good's bad today and black's white today and day's night today and anything goes. What would happen if either McCain or Obama said that their religion was nobody’s business but their own? A man who had the courage to say such a thing in this day and age would surely be crucified on a cross manufactured by Halliburton and sold to us at overcost.
