NOT QUITE HAMLET:

A Not So Wonderful Life (MAUREEN DOWD, 12/19/04, NY Times)


In keeping with her recent trend of turning the column over to family, Ms Dowd would appear to have let her pet monkey write this mess.

Thus proving that if you put a thousand MoDos at a thousand typewriters, they will finally...no, eventually...no, immediately write something a monkey could have written.

What's the difference between the New York Times op-ed page and a freak show?


No, I'm serious. Is there a difference?

The freaks in freakshows know theyr'e statistical outliers and the audience is normal. The NYT columnists think they're normal and the readers are the freaks.

John Merrick was a Chrtistian?

I thought it was a column of comedic genius. Especially the part about Saddam, after being exposed as the holder of small weaponry, slinking off in shame and abandoning Iraq to democrats. Masterful! Who else could lampoon the liberal worldview better?

I just finished reading the whole article. The woman is daffy.

Now you're just being mean to the monkey.

She obviously has an advanced case of 'Bush Derangement Syndrome.' After the successful Iraq election in January, she'll have to check into the Betty Ford clinic. In fact, the whole NY Times Op-Ed crew will have to do so except Brooks.

Hard to expect something coherant out of a woman who already has stated in print she'd rather be living in Pottersvilla this time of year and would have thrown both George and Clarence off the bridge, if she had the opportunity to do so.
