  “If Jesus does come back, he will likely be
  wearing a tie-dyed shirt, smoking a joint, flashing the peace sign and
  rocking rose-tinted glasses….

  Gibson never wants people to forget that we
  are ultimately responsible for his Lord’s crucifixion.  And by
  ‘people’ I mean ‘the Jews.’”

  Judeo-Christian Heritage: The Wiener Kreis The meditation below was suggested by this passage: “… the belief that any sensible discourse had to be formulated within the rules of the scientific language, avoiding the non sense of the ordinary language. This belief, initially expressed by Wittgenstein as aphorisms, was later formalized by the Wiener Kreis [Vienna Circle] as a ‘logical construction of the world’….” “Deeply Vulgar” – Epithet applied in 2003 to Harvard President Lawrence Summers. “Examples are the stained-glass windows of knowledge.” — Vladimir Nabokov   In today’s Crimson:   Only moderately vulgar, with its sniggering pop-culture reference. But it  should be Frankfurter Professor of Law.         Deeply vulgar.
