It’s taken me a while to identify a sufficiently worthy winner of the Blog Bile Award. But Paul from Paul and Carl’s Daily Diatribe has come up with this little beauty about a German-made doco on “the horrors of America’s brutal treatment of prisoners and heartless war crimes”. It’s a quality entry. Here’s a sample:
It’s funny how the sausage eaters seem to have to outdo everyone else in hysterical politcal extremism; in the thirties, there were no shortage of rabid propagandists, happy to portray the swinish Bolsheviks and their fellow travellers the evil Jews as the enemies of all that is wholesome, and create a right-wing state that made the others look like rank amateurs.
Now the tofu-wurst munching vegan near-beer quaffing square-heads seem determined to out-polemicise the likes of Michael Moore in portraying the USA as the source of all evil in the world, and to show up those effete Swedes and the dillatente French as mere hairy-arsed boys when it comes to being a nation of deranged far-left dingbats.
Congratulations Paul, and keep up the great work.
I’m guessing you have a lot of exams to mark.
Tim,
A moderate number, but I have an awesome capacity for procrastination and an even better-developed ability to rationalise it to my own satisfaction.
BTW I notice you’ve just posted a huge article (on think-tanks and open source software) that must have taken days (if not longer) to research and write. Do you have a teaching and admin load, or are you a pure researcher?
Just a lot of exams to mark at the moment.
Trouble is, I don’t think they mean it.
Hmm, that open-source article caused a spike in my traffic.
