Lord, please forgive me…..

for being so wrong-headed about journalist Eugene Robinson. I did not know he writes so well. I do not get the chance to read any of his writings due to the fact I have not read the Washington Post in almost fifty years nor have I seen his articles referenced on the few sites I frequent. I know about his winning a Pulitzer Prize and all from Rachel but I thought, well, you know, I thought……..never mind! Amen.
As always,
