Ich bin ein Berlinerblau fan

A chilled out oasis opens up in the pit o' hell that is Newsweek/WaPo's "On Faith," whenever Jacques Berlinerblau puts in his two cents.

I will proclaim that "there is no religious freedom without freedom from religion." The two go hand in hand.

Among Berlinerblau's god-given talents is the ability to like Obama and question his religiosity at the same time.

Sometimes the quest for faith opens up unfathomable questions.

The one I'm grappling with now is: "Who let this guy get anywhere near the Beltway?"

Until and unless there's an Orange Alert that brings him into line with the Village, let's enjoy Berlinerblau's knowledge, skepticism, nuance, and concision.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
