The New York Times obituary for columnist and political provocateur Bob Novak ends on a punch line:

After largely ignoring religion and dabbling in Unitarianism, Mr. Novak, in 1998, at age 67, converted to Roman Catholicism. In a ceremony, Msgr. Peter Vaghi proclaimed that the prince of darkness had been transformed into a child of light.Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York, who was in attendance, warned against jumping to conclusions.Well, weve now made Bob a Catholic, Mr. Moynihan said, according to Washingtonian magazine. The question is, Can we make him a Christian?
