First, From Alexander Pope's, "Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot":

            Let Sporus tremble -- "What? that Thing of silk,
        "Sporus, that mere white Curd of Ass's milk?
        "Satire or Sense alas! can Sporus feel?
        "Who breaks a butterfly upon a Wheel?"
        Yet let me flap this Bug with gilded wings,
        This painted child of Dirt that stinks and stings;
        Whoze Buzz the Witty and the Fair annoys,
        Yet Wit ne'er tasts, and Beauty ne'er enjoys,
        So well-bred Spaniels civilly delight
        In mumbling of the Game they dare not bite. .  . .

Well, you get the idea. Now a brief post from lbo-talk on this  idiot
scribbler for an anarchist rag:

Their lawyer is the late William Kunstler. Do they hold seances in the
courtroom. THe Ramsey CLark piece is a transparent hatchet job. In
the sections discussing Ramsey's trips to Libya and Iraq there is not one
quote from Ramsey explaining what he thought wrong about US policy.
He is described as meeting with dictators and failing to criticize Saddam
Hussein. Of course the article says not one word about US policy or
Ramsey's critique of that policy. I meant this piece could easily have
been written by a state dept hack and it would get in the paper because it
lambastes the Stalinists. Do anarchists not have anything better to do? I
mean this piece even stoops to showing what a bad father Ramsey had.
This is something you might find in the checkout line of an anarchist
supermarket.
   Cheers, Ken Hanly

Now let's forget this anarchist trash and go on to more interesting things,
like when did Tiddly Winks go out of popularity.
