As I watched an offensive portion of the Olympics ceremony, the judgment of one of the great fictional moral philosophers, Ignatius Reilly, came to mind:
"An egregious display of bad taste."
Those who have never read A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole need to seize a copy to understand our times.
Some memorable excerpts:
- "In addition, I am at the moment writing a lengthy indictment against our century. When my brain begins to reel from my literary labors, I make an occasional cheese dip."
- "No wonder I cannot support the Church," Ignatius bellowed. "You should have been lashed right there in the confessional."
