Area man wrote something good in 1987… September 24, 2010

There’s always a danger that the customary will become dull. So with that in mind rather than dealing with John Waters as he now is here’s something from when he was good. A quite fine overview of Margaret Thatcher and the impact of Thatcherism on the Irish polity. Harsh words for the ‘awful Michael McDowell’ and the Progressive Democrats. And it’s 1987 all over again. Actually it is, it really is. Only this time without an even half way strong left…
Thanks to a long time friend of the Cedar Lounge for sending this here…

Area blog wears out tiresome cliché
I tend to agree that the “Area Man…” headlines get a bit grating. Sorry, WbS.
On the article itself, it’s bizarre to think that this was written by the same man who churns out pompous, rambling, borderline-misogynist, bilge these days.
But, thats part of the joke, it’s only used in relation to JW! Thoughts noted though and I’ll think up something else.
Where does the ‘area man’ thing come from anyway?
The Onion, I believe.
People grow old in the strangest ways.
Some degenerate light relief going on at ILR. All contributions welcome.
(thinks: Light relief… that has potential).
