My GK Chesterton books are in storage and I can't remember which book I
am thinking about. In it he quotes an elderly protestant Irish lady.
She was describing a local fen (swamp) which she said was a terrible,
haunted place where "wee popes come out at night." Chesterton was
writing about how deep-rooted, and how unthinking, was the Irish
aversion to Catholicism. I sometimes worry that Mr. Matsusiak's fens
may harbor wee Republicans.

As for me, I have a policy that I never attribute to malice those
things that are more easily assigned to incompetence. I wish I had
Dave's faith in the infallibility of the government and its overworked,
underfunded rocket scientists, but I don't.
