A Snapshot of the Guardian

The national organ of the British left:

Would you rather hear about how conventional grammar is obviously “right-wing,” according to Harry Ritchie, or would you be more tempted by Nick Baines’ account of eating his wife’s placenta? Both as a garlic taco and liquidised as a smoothie, albeit one that’s grey and with a grim metallic taste. Because apparently eating afterbirth is “a modern obsession.” Perhaps you’d be compelled by Tracy McVeigh’s conviction that “rewards don’t make anyone happy,” and that two-year-olds, the universal yardstick of human selflessness, are being rendered grasping and unfeeling by “post-industrial capitalism.”

Oh, there’s more.

  1. Rare thing that is… for a chicken to miss a grub.
    Alas, the one that got away.

  2. I don’t know about the rest of you but I’m at the stage where all this vulgar partisan pimping masquerading as news or informed opinion is just plain boring to me – and an insult to my intelligence.
    Only zombies subscribe/submit to this kind of obvious mind washing. If civilization was to ever see another “enlightenment” period where we reject the chains of institutionalized ignorance and pursue truth and freedom of the person and mind once again, the Guardian (and most other newspapers) subscriber list will come in handy in determining who is mentally unfit to participate in a free society.

  3. Or this:
    While the Alberta floods haven’t been directly linked to climate change.
    Child psychiatrists, psychologists and educators say they’ve seen an escalation in the anxiety levels of today’s youth, who are constantly exposed to climate change and doomsday talk about the destruction of our planet.

    Didn’t provide a link, knowing that no one gives a rats @ss….

  4. This must be the next stage toward communism.
    Explanation.
    In grade 5 or 6 in a socialist country run by communists there was a stage or a fad, although communist, to self-criticize. We had to stand in front of the class each at a time and self-criticize oneself. Of course it eventually passed since it got out of hand and resulted in unintended consequences.
    You can’t go on criticizing yourself and dragging the socialist/fascist system with you.
    Anyway it seems that the columnists apparently like to swim in their own vomit.

  5. Our version is the Huffington Post. Attacks on Harper are getting so silly that I think they may be having the opposite effect.

  6. Our version of the Toronto Star.
    Try talking to anybody that subscribes about anything and then stand back and be amazed.
