If only the British still had someone with the intellect and brilliance of Gilbert Keith Chesterton alive today. He'd have a field day dueling these fools in the daily op-eds.

When learned men begin to use their reason, then I generally discover that they haven't got any.

For fear of the newspapers politicians are dull, and at last they are too dull even for the newspapers.

When a politician is in opposition he is an expert on the means to some end; and when he is in office he is an expert on the obstacles to it.

Tony Blair's wife and children are Catholic, he attends Mass every week and is rumored to have either secretly converted or will upon leaving office. There are many prominent British Catholics, I am astonished that none of them are coming forward.
