Theology That Bites Back
Introduction: The House Democrats are discovering, and may have already discovered, that undying animus is not the same thing as a plan. The Wile E. Coyote memes appear to be writing themselves.

Introduction: So I posted a meme the other day, promising to follow it up with an article explaining myself, and so here I am, in fulfillment of my word. In what I write about this, please try to cast me, in your mind’s eye, as a disinterested commentator on public affairs, as an objective analyst, …
So an idea for a meme occurred to me, and so I share it below. I will run it again on Wednesday, with an article alongside it, just brimming with explanations.
