Tony, Tony, Tony

Is Tony Blair converting to Catholicism? (More about this sparklingly unimportant issue here.)

The writer wonders why anyone converts to the Old Skygod Religions these days... They don't like my gay friends, for one.

There are alternatives. Yoism's been around for a while, and some former mainstreamers have taken note, forming Open Source Judaism, which is an intriguing a concept with a seemingly decrepit website.

Forgetting post-prime ministerial-conversion woes, one wonders how different this country will be when its rulers cease to be primarily Episcopalian WASPs, not that the Kennedy or Kerry Catholics are all that different.

If Mos Def (or Lupe Fiasco) isn't president at some point in my lifetime, I'm going to be one cranky, cranky ghost. That's all I'm sayin.
