Ridiculous Minutiae

I sometimes worry that since I've spent almost a decade in DC and vigorously oppose gratuitous American military intervention, my relatives and friends back in the Midwest worry that I've transformed into an East Coast, shrugging agnostic liberal.  In part as a way to reassure them (and myself), I have to admit chuckling at my friend Matt Yglesias' recent exploration of how, in the context of Romney's "I'm not a cult member" speech the other day, "Mormon emphasis on Gethsemane rather than the crucification is not a trivial theological difference." (emphasis mine)

On an unrelated note, how did I never catch this article before?  Leave it to The Onion to speak volumes in 99 words.  10 years in advance.
