I’ve been informed that My reference to LOTR should have been Wormtongue instead of Wormwood. Not the first time I’ve misremembered a name.

LOL - I'd been reading it as a biblical reference (Revelations), but wasn't quite sure where it fit in. Now since I don't know who Wormtongue was, I'm even more confused.

Wow. When I read that the first thought was JRR Tolkein and “that kind of sounds like Wormtoungue” - followed by “I better keep quiet - that’s a pretty nerdy leap” :)

Not so fast, buddy. I was wondering how you had happened to read The Screwtape Letters. Same thing either way!

This is interesting, now that I notice it. Tolkien and Lewis were friends, I wonder if the commonality came from that?

You have it completely backwards. The coven or cabal or whatever you want to call them who were acting in the role of Grima Wormtongue and whispering into Jim Robinson's ear were recently mostly banished. The old Jim Robinson is back and conservatism reigns on Free Republic.

Ah. Grima Wormtongue. Yes.
