Gerald Augustinus of the Closed Cafeteria blog reads that Doris Lessing (the greatest living English writer, and lucky enough to have lived long enough that the Nobel Prize Committee simply ran out of excuses) has said that 9-11 seemed so terrible to Americans because they had not experienced the drip-drip-drip of terrorist murders that many European countries know. Gerald Augustinus finds out that Doris Lessing (one of whose many masterpieces is a savage satire called The Good Terrorist) was once, a very long time ago, a Marxist. Gerald Augustinus lobs a few insults at her, and is satisfied.

Who, exactly, has condemned oneself?

Anyone and everyone who still makes the mistake of taking that blog seriously, is my answer. As far as I've ever been able to tell, the stuff is Catholic only where Catholicism happens to overlap with neocon ideology.
