Shorter Monbiot, 'filthy kulaks!'

"chunkier readers should note that waiting for a socialist revolution probably isn’t the best way to lose those extra pounds" Oh I don't know, Polly could point to the success of the DPRK weight loss program.

'DU is a small, private, liberal arts college and school of music located in Greencastle, Indiana.' Scratch another one off the list of universities I might recommend my kids attend. Is there a list of sensible universities, or is that simply an oxymoron?
