So where's the head count, breast count, and description of any and all types of Kung Fu involved in this incident?
"But this one emerges full-grown, like the offspring from the head of a Greek goddess."
Does Joe Bob mean to refer to Athena emerging "full-grown" from the head of Zeus?
If I had a subscription to the New York Times I would furiously cancel it right now for the entire lying escapade! Not since the article "Bat-boy makes love child with gay, Elvis impersonating Chupacabra" have I questioned the National Media establishment as I have now!
I have a friend who used to work at Texas Monthly. Bloom was a distinguished art critic at the time. When he went off and created the chop-socky Joe Bob character and started the drive-in reviews the old staffers were dumbfounded.
The guy is good, if you know what I mean - and I think you do.
"From two ranks amongst mankind hath power been seized... kings and ecclesiastics." "I have given power to the people..."
A little more than one hundred years ago, these quotations were published in the writings of an obscure Persian nobleman...
Today, with so many humans having the power to read, write, cipher numbers and govern themselves we are witness to a phenomenon which might be called, 'fisking the entrenched orthodoxies' or 'now that rabbits have guns!'
The Times, CNN, BBC and other 'news' media are learning (present progressive, indicating "in the process of learning") about the impact of the blogosphere AND universal mandatory basic education AND access to logic, reason and cell-phones and bi-lingual friends... Its a huge, far-reaching change in how news/events are reported, how much 'sharpening' or 'bias' or 'slanting' will be permitted, and for how long (how quickly will blatant dysfunction be reported)?
Its just starting, friends... watch closely, as this is just one, small Eye Opener...
