Interesting how the reverend conflates radicalism, liberalism, leftists, and communism in his “God’s People” speech (disambiguation please!). More than that, it is frightening how his rhetoric seamlessly frames all these political positions as perversions that have come way too far “out of the closet” for his liking. You have to hand it to him for being able to effectively attack and condemn an immense cross-section of the world’s population in one fell swoop. However, I guess leaving tolerance to “God’s People” is not really much of an option, now is it?

As far as I’m concerned — that’s not the “other Reverend Jim.” The other Reverend Jim is the beloved Jim Ignatowski (see http://www.tv.com/taxi/reverend-jim-a-space-odyssey/episode/124/summary.html) and mention of the “yellow light” sequence). I know you know this — I just want it on the record for those who wonder where our affectionate title for you has its roots.

Thanks for bringing me back from the precipice of madness, the nickname you tagged me with has begun to have implications far beyond my control
