Quote for the Day:

The trendy deference toward religion also affected the supposedly liberal, mainstream press. It began offering unprecedented coverage of religion, taking care not to offend the faithful. A 1996 op-ed piece that I was invited to write for The New York Times on Hillary Clinton's "conversations" with Eleanor Roosevelt was cleansed of any irreverence toward established religion (although I was expected to mock New Age). I was not allowed to observe that while Mrs. Clinton was criticized for talking to Eleanor Roosevelt, millions of Americans regularly talk to Jesus, long deceased, and that many people believe God talks to them, unbidden. (At least Mrs. Clinton didn't believe that Mrs. Roosevelt answered back.)
