With its tedious vulgarity and sledgehammer wit, the Heather Mallick blogpost became unreadable – sickeningly so – after two paragraphs.  I do not in the least mind her venomous jettings being made public. Her right to free speech is, or should be guaranteed. I do resent paying for it, and I resent it bitterly.  Let her spit filth at her social and moral superiors on someone else’s tab. I am reading Trollope’s “Phineas Redux” right now and disestablishment provokes the great political crisis. Trollope catches very neatly the steps by which an idea becomes more and more possible, until it is to someone’s political advantage to put a vaguely seen future on tomorrow’s Order Paper. I hope we reach that stage with the CBC very very soon.

Back to Mallick. What is the downward track for this sort of person? No longer fit for the Globe, and so to the CBC. That corporation will shed her, given the controversy she has raised, but perhaps not right away.  Then what journalistic gutter will have her next?  Prediction – the communications department of a labour union or government department.

Easy.

And when the Dion campaign starts seeing polar bears on the island, they’ll just blame it on global warming.

A headline so pricelessly torqued it could not be made up:

“McCain-Palin Ticket Chills Arabs, Muslims”

What follows is a thorough but utterly unoriginal collection of exhausted memes and shibboleths that would befit an al-Jazeera outtakes show, to wit:

Some Iraqi and Arab politicians and pundits have privately ridiculed as ironic the fact that Palin is regarded in the United States as socially conservative while her unwed teenage daughter is pregnant.

Funny, I think the Daily Kos and MSNBC were way ahead of them on that.

Commentators warn that the vast social and religious gaps dividing the Muslim and U.S. Christian beliefs, particularly Evangelical ones, would be further widened if a McCain-Palin administration took office, because it could further politicize and militarize U.S. policy in the region.

And naturally the Christian beliefs instilled in the Obamessiah by the Trinity United Church of Christ will not present such a gap.

Oh, right.
