I don't know if I've ever read a more ignorant sentence in my life.
Antonia Zobiased also joins the pantheon of rabid leftists like Thomas, Dowd, Clift, and Ivins. They have it so wrong. We are the check and balances for their lies and distortions. And we have great original articles too...some posted as vanities, but original and interesting. They just cannot stand it, they cannot accept that the New media is beating the crap out of them
That's almost right. We're not the ones doing the digging. We're just going to hold the shovel while they get in.
The author doesn't get it, which is fine by me. Let them wallow in their stupidity and never get it and we will continue to run circles around them forever.
At least she admits they are going down the tubes.
The liver fluke is a good example. It lays an egg in the living animal host. The host sheds the egg thru the blood/bile connect to the intestines where it's dropped into the dirt/grass. Now comes the really cool part.......The egg is a delicacy to the snail, and because the egg needs an ant, the egg once swallowed by the snail throws out barbs which make it get lodged inside the throat of the snail who then reflex responses to puke out the egg along with the snail puke which happens to be a delicacy of ants. The ant then gobbles up the snail puke soup and the liverfluke egg with it. The plan gets really good here......The egg, sensing the ant's stomach then secretes a certain neurotoxin which effects the brain of the ant causing it to madly seek to climb anything around as high as possible at exactly the point when the sun is at the five o'clock position. The ant remains on the high point and will not move. Since five o'clock in the summer is the exact time of the evening grazing trigger for sheep as a cooler evening approaches, the sheep, who prefer the longer,cleaner, traditionally parasite egg free upper longest parts of the grass are guaranteed to consume the ant on the blade of tall grass along with the fluke egg in tha ant's stomach.
I'd say that liver fluke is a lot smarter than any professional journalist.
I dunno... the one where he refers to "the rigours of professional journalism" has to be pretty close....
