Multiple Sightings

The phrase "on the side of the angels," as in "such-and-such is on the side of the angels" (meaning, so far as I can tell, 'I agree'), seems to be achieving some sort of critical mass in the blogosphere. Kevin Drum uses it here to refer to Andrew Sullivan, and Sullivan uses it here to refer to Glenn Reynolds. Full circle, eh? Well, that's not all: it's also the name of Maya Gallus's film about Mormon kidnappee Elizabeth Smart.
