Unfurl the flags and let the trumpets blow! Enoch Soames has returned. Winter's despair has turned to the hope of spring!

Take a peek at Bunny Diehl this morning, if you get a chance. A lovely visual skewering of non-denominatinal Easter "celebrations." Lots of bunnies and eggs, but not much Christ ... which would seem a problem if you call yourself a Christian church, no?

And that U.S. deserter who fled to Canada "defends" his reasons for going AWOL: "The people over in Iraq, they're not terrorists," he said. "They're not insurgents. They're people defending their country from us. We have invaded them and it's wrong." The sophistication and depth of his analysis, to say nothing of its grasp of reality as well as morality, is striking. Makes Michael Moore look like Plato.
