I was a Teenage Darwinist
Interesting. It's not every day that I stumble upon the word mountebank. Not that the world doesn't present enough examples...

As far as the film of which he speaks...well, I wouldn't know. EWTN has disappeared off of our TV. At first I thought it was the TV in my bedroom, which has spasmodic difficulties with channels above 45. But I checked the mind-numbingly slow TV Guide crawl on channel 99 - it's not only slow but they torture the viewer with inane fashion and celeb gossip news - and it's gone. Maybe they're just moving it around. Not a premium channel...nooo!
