A Simple Prayer


When it comes to making much of the trivial, it's hard to beat American popular culture. We're so used to it now that the most contrived programs on television are called "reality" shows, and we don't blink.

Still, it was hard not to go slack-jawed when a "business reporter" recently described an advertising campaign as "the #1 mascara launch in recent history."

Come soon, sweet Jesus.

Perhaps you missed the subtext of ironic commentary directed to his editor concerning the assignments he was drawing.

I don't know. Just trying to give a reporter the benefit of the doubt.

I think you may be on to something there, Ted.

Uh, Jesus? .... Never mind.
