The first President Bush said it "in my view brings sanity to Washington, D.C.</i>" <br /><br />LOL! Maybe the grand unifying theory that explains everything is that Reagan and the Bushes are secretly Moonies.<br /><br />There's a darker side than this, though. When I signed the book in my current congregation, the welcome-new-members sermon led off with a news clipping about some UUs who had been arrested and fined for selling cookies to raise funds for some do-good cause in Rockford, Illinois. Except that the UUA was identified as "the church of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, sometimes known as the 'Moonies'".<br /><br />So maybe Reagan and the Bushes and even the Washington Times are secretly (gasp!) <i>our kind.</i> I liked this bit:
