"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds"
Reminds me that Hallowe'en is just around the corner, Father Steve.
BTW did you read the story yesterday about the Hallowe'en mask producer who says he can predict the outcome of a presidential election by the popularity of the masks he is selling?
Headline: "Masked revelers prefer Bush
Get this one: Halloween mask sales predictor says incumbent will beat Kerry in November."
http://money.cnn.com/2004/09/21/news/funny/prez_masks/
Which begs the question [perhaps?]:
Which Presidential candidate is wearing the most successful mask?
Incidentally, your "hobgoblin" quote reminds me of Sprio Agnew's "nabobs":
"Over 30 years ago, Vice President Spiro Agnew famously referred to the press corps as 'nattering nabobs of negativity'."
