How the hell can anyone read this blowhard? Maybe I'm too American, but good God, get to the friggin' point.

I'm IRISH...and God HIMSELF knows how we like to yammer on without even having a point to talk about in the first place, but I agree with you entirely. The Gaurdian needs a good Irish journalist I'm thinking. I'm going to apply for their next vacancy.

I fear honesty and integrity are career ending ailments at the Guardian, dear. Though you spell their name as well as they do. ;)

Love, Ivan

Yeah, I know what you're talking about -- my mother is Irish and Scottish. I'm referring more to writing style than fatness of mouth, though. It's difficult for some people, including myself, to restrain their mouths. However, when people are writing, especially at a supposedly "professional" level, they should be more efficient. Unless, of course, their job is to obfuscate nonsense, and it looks like that's exactly what they do at the Guardian.
