the spirited defense of cheerful intellectuals.
There are some occasions where there just simply isn't an irony tag big enough to do it justice.
This was a particular highlight;
It is little wonder the media have become a distrusted profession in recent years. Their hypocrisy reeks.
Look in the mirror, much?
I'd be grateful if we could stop short...
Fair point, but hopefully it was clearly about what LHaws and Woodham have said, not about the case itself. That needs to be dealt with in other quarters.

This really just makes me incredibly tired and incredibly sad. Welcome to the 19th century. What have we learned? How hard is it to understand that 'comatose consent' is an oxy(you)moron(s)?

For some reason I feel compelled to play 'Love is a battlefield', but won't.
Well mostly not; -
It really is extraordinary. On what planet is this acceptable?
"slapper's remorse"
...willing teens...
...a breed of feral females...Oh, apparently this one.

Wow who knew a hand ball in a football game between two countries miles away from NZ could elicit such venom???
Look, I just can't quite get past the fact that the weather in Wellington has been better than Auckland over the past few days, which is clearly against the rules, and should be called 'cheating' by any reasonable definition.
And maybe I'm one of those parents who gets annoyed when 8th grade players hang around the goal mouth preventing those brilliant moments when a young footballer breaks through the last line of defence on half way, charges up the field and scores a brilliant goal (or invariably kicks the ball from too far out and misses), with great celebrations all through the team.
So sue me. Like I said somewhere up thread, my heart says 'cheat' while me head says 'you really should lighten up'.

So a professional foul, in football, rugby, tiddlywinks, is not cheating?
If you say so.Incidentally, I'm not entirely alone in this view, FWIW.

that's an entirely shallow way of reading, and quite without any attempt to understand the mores of the sport.
Sorry, I didn't realise you needed a Football union card to post on this blog.
Yet Suarez gets called a cheat, for reasons that border on the mysterious.
I think def. 5 covers it.

What does the kiss on the lower part of the forefinger mean?
'Bacia el anello'. 'Kiss the Ring', to show respect for the holy Roman Emperor, sorry Pope, in deference of his position as divine global ruler.
Sort of like a yard stick.

No complaints here.
