Q. Father, exactly how does their cowardice correlate with their self-esteemin’?
A. Not a hard question, my child: the more wunnerful Master Narcissus Dexter accounts himself, the greater the tragedy for all the world ever to be deprived of Narky D.
Why, even a *partial* eclipse of the effulgence of Narky’s self-wunnerfulness would be a disaster worth payin’ any price and bearin’ any burden to avoid!
Unfortunately the technical name that moral scientists have always applied to the ‘relentlessly’ selfocentric brand of burden-bearin’ and price-payin’ happens to be _ignavia_, ‘cowardice.’
Q. Couldn’t their Rupert Lord Murdoch or their Mr. Roger Ailes do somethin’ about this semantic pickle?
A. Probably not. But God knows best.
