The E'er Good Pundit

About me

Gender	Male
Location	Northampton, Massachusetts, United States
Introduction	Crusader--that is, Leslie Higgins--graduated from Assumption College with majors in Political Science, Philosophy, and Theology. A lover of soda, a frequenter of coffeehouses, a longtime sonneteer, a fan of manga and anime, and a lifelong monarchist, he is an ex-atheist convert to traditional Roman Catholicism and a supporter of the Crusade of Saint Benedict Center and the Social Kingship of Christ. Unafraid of mixing politics and religion, he is a Republican of the paleoconservative variety. Quixotic and reactionary, he's often cheery, but can be rather in-thy-face.

You get to ride the big roller coaster three times in a row. What will keep your dad from taking a bite out of your candy apple?

He'll think he sees a miraculous image of Mark Twain on the skin, and want to preserve it as an atheistic holy relic.
