		<description>Harold, I didn&#039;t hear that line, but the sermon &quot;Sinners in the hand of an angry God&quot;. 

Jest and Bobby--good going.

Cong--good cloud, but it reminds me of the Noh Monster/Spirit in Miyazaki&#039;s Spirited Away.

These days, I think of that fist as Congress Faces the Wrath of the Citizens/Electorate, but that has no catchy line.  Congress at the Fist of an Angry Populace?</description>
