Fox News slanders the nicest, sweetest, most gentle man that ever walked the planet

Except for Fox News, the WSJ and other self-annointed prophets of the hard-working people who play by the rules, people on the coasts who work in media and entertainment are not, in the cultural debate, working hard.

I wasn't just talking about the entertainment industry, btw, even though I know you're being ironic about that. I hail from the Midwest-- the very Christians you were insulting above, S, and my family and friends are all hardworking people (many of whom do attend church every Sunday) who focus on doing good works over sitting idly by waiting for their holy "due." Please do NOT lump Christians together. Again-- small but vocal minorities do not speak for all.

I wasn't insulting Christians in general. As Michael Lerner said, Jesus is one of my rabbis. I was making an assumption about Fox News viewers of all religions. To me, if your preferred entertainment is Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, etc., it's hard for me to imagine you have a kind heart.

And I wasn't being ironic about the entertainment industry. According to Rush and his ilk, what you do is not real work.

Well, yes, I know that Rush says that. I meant that I didn't think you believed it. (I'd also like to remind Rush that he's in the entertainment industry.)
