When I used to appear for a regular segment on "The Ed Norris Show" -- before it switched to a sports format -- one of my favorite parts of the program was the daily "Shovel of Wisdom," given to the person in the public eye that day utterly lacking in common sense. In this space, I'd like to introduce a similar feature. We'll call it the "Wile E. Coyote Anvil of Reason" award for the person who most needs a dose of brutal cartoonish enlightenment. Our first winner is a very deserving candidate.

About the year 1300 A.D., the Italian poet Dante Alighieri went through one heck of a midlife crisis. Unrequited love, venomous political rivals, suicidal despair - Dante grappled with, and chronicled, it all in The Inferno. It was a vision of hell so graphic and detailed that, seven centuries later, it continues to grip artists' imaginations.

Shameful enough that in this season of peace on earth, good will toward men arrived with an insult to the first Muslim member of Congress from one of his new colleagues. Even more disturbing was the ignorance reflected in Republican Rep. Virgil H. Goode Jr.'s remarks: He asserted that Minnesota Democrat Keith Ellison represents the first wave of a major Muslim migration into the United States that threatens American values. Americans sincerely trying to put aside their biases are not well-served by elected officials who proudly espouse wrongheaded views fostering distrust and hatred.
