Safran, Father Bob and yours truly the alleged fascist

Some of you may remember that a few weeks ago I did an interview for Aussie public radio. After I was off the air, one of the hosts, a Catholic priest, called me a fascist. I didn't think he was being serious. He said I called him a "commo" which of course I didn't. Well I've subscribed to the podcast of the show which is called Sunday Night Safran and I have to say I've acquired a taste for it. I listened to several episodes on my way to and from Orlando this weekend. As it turns out, the issue of Father Bob calling me a fascist came up again the following week. You can listen to the exchange at about the 45 minute mark by clicking this link. Father Bob apologized for calling me a fascist with about the same degree of seriousness with which he called me it in the first place, which is to say none at all.

In any case, you are forgiven Father. Go and sin no more.
