comp.lang.python was added because the post contained a python expression
filter(lambda W : W not in 'ILLITERATE','BULLSHIT')
with the miraculous property of being runnable and producing the name
of the US president, Mr Bush, when executed; together with being readable
as a metaphor of human behavior illustrated by "Malev" - the person
that the post was responding to. Such dual interpretation of executable
code is witness that Python is closer to Prolog than you would think,
an interesting fact by itself for the python community.

That's a dogmatic opinion that I believe lacking in justification.
