David Aaronovitch is the formerly leftist chap with the UK’s Channel 5 who recently took his former leftist colleagues to the woodshed in the documentary, “No Excuse for Terrorism,” which is, miraculously, still available through YouTube.
Today, in the Times of London, he has a superb article on North Korea’s nuclear program, entitled, “You want to know why North Korea did it? It’s their economy, stupid . . .”. It starts off like this:
THE NORTH KOREAN regime is apparently so bad that even George Galloway has never been there to offer his support. Or maybe that’s because it’s so broke.
With apologies to Maggie Katzen.
Life is sad, believe me Missy,
When you’re born to be a sissy
Without the vim and verve.
But I could change my habits,
Nevermore be scared of rabbits
If I only had the nerve.
I’m afraid there’s no denyin’
I’m just a dandylion
A fate I don’t deserve.
But I could show my prowess,
Be a lion not a mowess
If I only had the nerve.
Oh, I’d be in my stride, a king down to the core
Oh, I’d roar the way I never roared before
And then I’d rrrwoof
And roar some more.
I would show the dinosaurus
Who’s king around the fores’
A king they’d better serve.
Why with my regal beezer,
I could be another Caesar
If I only had the nerve.
What makes the muskrat for to guard his musk?
Musk is all he has left to guard….His rat died last week…..
what did I miss?
Interesting article, but I don’t get the pic.
Which is no reason not to comment anyway.
Oh, the pic is a reference to when Gorgeous George was on the UK’s Big Brother and mimicked a cat lapping milk from Rula Lenska’s hands. He heads up the “Respect” party.
