thinking caps, anyone?

Over on Jeremiads, Philip Jenkins calls anti-Catholicism the "last acceptable prejudice." (If you didn't know, he's written a book about it.)

Type in "last acceptable prejudice" on Google, and see that homophobia and anti-Semitism are also vying for the title. So is anti-Italianism.

My money's on anti-Amishism. I ought to know. I have Amish relatives.

In other news, Robert M. Kahn takes puffish academic titles to task.
