   As a card carrying member of the right wing I would just like to 
point out that A) quite a lot of us like Harry and Co. and B) we are 
not all Fundamentalist Christians - in fact some of us aren't 
Christians at all.

   Aside from this unnecessary swipe at an entire section of the 
political spectrum it's a great review.
