Quick news bit

Will have to save most of my news blogging for later this evening, but the story that jumped out at me this morning had this headline:

Brady: Wider social-service role for clergy

A faith-based approach to helping parolees? Is that really going to win over voters in Philadelphia?

(My knee-jerk response is to think that most left-leaning types look askance at anything couched as "faith-based" after 7 years of the Bush Administration, but perhaps I'm wrongly discounting the views of black evangelicals and/or Italian Catholics in various parts of town...)
