Why does Gibbon seem relevant just now? Oh, yes, something about a descent into narcissism. I wonder what the modern day barbarians might have to say about Perry?
He’s Being Rugged, And We Can’t Have That
In the pages of the Guardian, masculinity is once again being piously disdained. This time by Mr Grayson Perry, a part-time transvestite and maker of unattractive pottery: The Turner prize-winning artist has turned his sights on the survivalist [Bear Grylls] and his exceptionally rugged version...
Shorter Monbiot, 'filthy kulaks!'

Kevin Williamson on being the wrong kind of brown person: For his political conservatism, Governor [Bobby] Jindal, like Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina and conservative activist Dinesh D’Souza, also Republicans of Indian origin, is savaged as an Uncle Tamas — an Indian guilty of acting w...
"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.
Such Details Are Beneath Her
Readers of this blog will, over the years, have marvelled at the outpourings of one Polly Toynbee, the Guardian’s foremost social commentator and hand-wringer in chief, a woman voted “the most influential commentator in the UK” and whose views regularly grace the programming of the BBC, for whic...
Let's play 'guess the pejorative':
"just how [pejorative redacted] do you have to be to consider this seriously".
"that was just [pejorative redacted]"
What a load of utter crap (expletive encouraged).
Reports to struggle session for self criticism. Fails. Unmarked grave.
Don’t Even Think It
This just in from academia, more words you mustn’t use: The words “angry,” “passive” and “exotic” are also strongly discouraged and will no doubt be tutted at. Please update your files accordingly. Via The College Fix.
'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?
Your Children are in Good Hands
At DePauw University, Indiana, someone may have said something unkind to a student with brownish skin. And so, inevitably, Professor of Sociology David Newman stated, “I’m a white man. I’m a white middle-class man. I’m a white middle-class heterosexual man… This is my fault. I didn’t do anythin...
I laughed. I cried. I sentenced myself to reeducation.
Meanwhile, on the Battlefield of Facial Hair
Apparently, there’s now a fashion trend called “lumbersexual.” As the avid fashionistas I know you to be, I’m sure its details and subtleties are already familiar, if not passé. For those as yet unschooled in lumbersexual grooming, here’s a brief summary: Lumbersexual men have a calculated look ...
"and Edge has been acclaimed for “vibrating with possibility” and “making use of space, time and physicality to explore and present endless concepts".
I suppose if you have to exalt it with meaningless praise, its probably crap?
Hush, Art is Happening
The contemporary performance artist is, as we’ve seen, a supremely political creature, forever troubled by acute socio-political sensitivities, with insights and perceptions far beyond the ken of mortal beings. Should any of you dare to question that sensitivity, I steer you to the ever-twitchin...
Perhaps a screening of the Killing Fields will help witchwind with her planning. Oh, no wait, those nasty AK47s are tools of the patriarchy. I wonder how she will convince the nasty penetrators to line up submissively for their euthanizing?

Jim Goad is entertained by the vehement nuttiness of the Black Hebrew Israelites: When I say “hate group,” I don’t mean groups who are accused of being hateful; I mean ones that get right up in your face and tell you they’re full of hate… Framed as they are within this dreadfully medicated and ...
They won't be happy until we're living in mud huts eking out a subsistence 'living' from the quarter acre granted to us under license from the benevolent Eco-state. Why not instead simply skip this intermediate stage what with its lack of determination and nerve and jump ahead to the gulags and killing fields? Forward!
We Mustn’t Let the Poor Have Nice Things
Today the Guardian shares the wisdom of millionaire socialist and noted fashion crone Dame Vivienne Westwood: Clothes and food should cost much more than they do in Britain to reflect their true impact on the environment, Vivienne Westwood said on Wednesday night. Speaking at a Guardian Live ev...
