Many years ago I was in Amsterdam. Too bad I missed it. If happen to go there again, it will be on top of my list.

Incidentally, today's "Inside the Beltway," The Washington Times, notes the similarity between the faces of a condemned figure in a Sistine Chapel fresco and that of Senator Feinstein at the Alito hearings.

Which figure? I'm dying to know.

I do know that one cardinal complained about some aspects of Michelangelo's Last Judgment (perhaps the nudity) as Michelangelo was painting it. Michelangelo then painted that cardinal as Minos in hell, and he shut his mouth. (See the figure on the right with a snake around him.)

So where is Feinstein?
