    This is is the first one that is close to being good, and that is not derivative of talk-radio cliche. Why go to a theologian to hear somnething that Rush Limbaugh says better? Now, however, we have something that only Reno could say.

    I’m not sure what George is talking about; I think they’ve all been good. But he is right that this is the best one.

    If the words “Stanley Fish” were changed to “The fashionable academic,” people a century from now reading “The Collected Aphorisms of R.R. Reno” would perhaps understand it better, true?
