Entry: Sucking Up As Usual Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/sucking_up_as_usual#22938 Post contents: This is a little off the general subject, but illuminating. The pope presented former Confederate President Jefferson Davis (then imprisoned) with a crown of thorns from the Holy Land that the pontiff himself had weaved. The crown is still around, housed in a museum in New Orleans. The illuminating part is why the pope did it. Sent at: 2008 08 29
