Kent Ashcraft is best known for “Dear Dr. Laura”, a satirical screed on the application of Leviticus to modern life. I received his latest contribution this weekend:

- Bush Memoir edition
- Is patriotism a virtue?
- National Swagger and whistling in the dark
- Jesus returns, is crucified again
Like.
