In the last number of days, there has been a lot in the news about Pastor Terry Jones. The reaction to Pastor Jones's plan to burn Qur'ans has been one of almost universal shock and condemnation, even from the less temperate elements of the American right. Yet two important points about Pastor Jones need to be made. Number one: he shares his name with a member of the finest comedy troupe in history (as the ever-reliable Andrew Sullivan observed earlier today). Secondly, in another matter that can't have escaped Sullivan's attention, it must be said that Pastor Jones has some remarkable facial hair. Gaze on its splendour:
Surely a man who can wear the "nineteenth-century Russian aristocrat" look (like our own Neil Hannon) so proudly can't be all bad?
