    It’s a good editorial, although there’s not much said that we haven’t really heard before… It’s nice to see him poke fun at the Catholic League – it’s what they need… =-)

    Sunday Times also had this to say about coming ‘Golden Compass tours’ in Oxford: http://travel.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/travel/article2974684.ece

    Yes, he’s said that before, hasn’t he?
    Except it was sonnets, rather than haikus.

  4. Justin says:

    “Christ Weitz”?

    Best typo ever.
