[$] A bone for those not possessed
Over at Doug Wilson's blog I posted the hack attempt at humor "Domine, non facissem ubiquaque actum ut non essem fictum. Amen."
Since most of you are not demon-possessed, what I was trying to say was, "Lord, let me never do whatever was done in order that I may never be handled like this." That's in reference to Wilson's handling of a local (Moscow, ID) critic who was trying to play the victim for slandering Wilson and anyone associated with him.
Upon review, the demon-possessed and the classical-language mavens might object and correct me to say, "Domine, non facissem ubiquaque actum ut non essem sic fictum. Amen." It would be interesting to see who can come up with the best version of this today before we all go home for the weekend.
