- Conrad Black: Tired lefties on parade
-
There fell solemnly from a recent Saturday edition of a Canadian newspaper a well-printed, stapled booklet of 50 pages, on magazine stock, called Corporate Knights. Wishing to know more about contemporary Canadian business leaders, I started leafing through it, and shortly came across a peppy message from the publisher — with an accompanying photo that showed her to be a pleasant and purposeful-seeming youngish woman. Beside her was a declaration that any contributor whose writing was found to be influenced by an advertiser would be dismissed.
The magazine is a quarterly and has a staff of 25 named people, including interns, and didn’t have much advertising. I am quite familiar with the commercial economics of publishing periodicals, and this one would require heavy subsidization. I surmised this was partly accounted for by the advice that some research and reporting received “the financial support of Industry Canada.”
Persevering determinedly through my edition, I quickly discovered an article entitled “A Roundtable, a Feast, and a Chivalrous Scientist.” The gracious man of science being profiled was none other than James Lovelock, “world-renowned scientist and originator of the Gaia hypothesis.”

Nice to the righteous right tapping the talents of a convicted son of bitch who stole the pensions of many, to launch missives on the left.
Keep up the good fight there....
I know it is rather trite but as usual you try to shoot the messenger, of course from below a rock, rather than read the message which means you would have to look in the mirror........
As usual, you respond in incomplete sentences. What the hell kind of word salad was that? No wonder you only copy and paste. I couldn't imagine an entire paragraph written by you...
Try to be a little more specific, address the comment, and perhaps a conversation might break out.
Crazier things have happened...
