Mark Steyn: Nice Goin’, Guys [Newsweek is much easier to flush]

These days it's the readers of pablum like NEWSREEK who must be the fact-checkers. Since they don't bother to vet their own story's as long as they blame the Bush admin.

Every word must be checked, including "and" and "the".

Thanks for the ping knighthawk.

The problem with Newsweek is that the paper is too slick to wipe with.

It's not suitable for wiping, but you can pee on it just fine.

I love Steyn. The Babe Ruth of columnists.

Let's hope he's the Lou Gehrig too, and that he's around a long, long time.

The suras-down-the-septic story was an obvious crock.

Which proves the superiority of the old time Out-house. If you could get a Sears-Roebuck Catalog down it you could get almost anything down it.

Traveling salesman once drove on our farmyard selling Watkins Rx products. Asked if he could use our Out-house. Dad pointed to the path behind the smokehouse and said feel free.

We waited quite a while and he didn't return. Dad sent to go see if he "fell in." I walked on back there, and he was "fishing" around down the hole with a cotton-hoe. I asked him what he was doing, and he explained he had dropped his coat down the hole. I told him the coat wasn't going to be any good once he got it out. But then he told he needed it because his lunch was in the pocket.

I thought you were being held hostage by some schools?
How can you be posting stuff?
