Loud Noises

I've apparently offended the "speaking in tongues" community. A (former) reader writes:

I do not apreciate the coment you made when talking about the right wing attacks on the Teleprompter use of Obama, when you reffered to it as "many of the attacks from the far-right against President Obama have amounted to nothing more than the political equivalent of speaking in tongues." You have to keep in mind that comments like this will offend some people, people like me who from now on will no longer follow your stories online or anywhere else.

My apologies. For the record, speaking in tongues is definitely less crazy than the far-right attacks.
