Stolen wholesale from WIST:
The trouble with Communism is the Communists, just as the trouble with Christianity is the Christians.
H.L. Mencken (1880-1956) American writer and journalist [Henry Lewis Mencken]
“Mr. Mencken Sounds Off,” interview, LIFE Magazine (5 Aug 1946)
You recall, Mencken was the guy who wrote the Millard Fillmore Bathtub hoax in the first place, right?
Mencken held forth in Baltimore, a city that could probably use a newspaper columnist with Mencken’s ability to find corruption and fault in most good things — just to make people think.
You may disagree with Mr. Mencken, of course. But if you do, tell us in comments: What do YOU think the trouble with Christianity is?
Found on eBay: H. L. Mencken in bronze, as a bookend — with a stein of beer and the Statute of Liberty. Asking $595 for it. Beer and liberty. Mencken probably would have approved. How many of these were made? By whom?
