Out of Character

I don't usually link to stories with well-meaning, poorly worded headlines, but tonight I couldn't resist. ( Having just posted on the subject of ingesting feces, I must say I'm favor scatological humour.) The headline for this story is "Rep. Davis touched by children in Iraq." I've been a supporter of the Catholic Church here in Noky, but I have to say, Davis certainly didn't have to travel all the way to Iraq for this to happen. However, he probably didn't have to sit through mass over there.

Pedophilia jokes aside, it's really quite a heart rending article about the power of anecdote to make up for a lack of hard data.
