All respect to The Plaid Adder |
|
I'd just like to say that I love The Plaid Adder's writing. I have never read a duff article by her; every one is well-written, entertaining, and I never seem to disagree with anything she says. Every single time I'm just right there with her all the fucking way. She's as good as Will Pitt in my opinion; she has the same anger, and her sarcastic wit harmonises with my mood more so possibly I prefer her articles. That's just a matter of taste.
She is an asset to the progressive movement. We need polemicists like her. She has a way of cutting throught the bullshit to the heart of the matter, often to make me exclaim: "why the hell didn't I see that??" The best example is her article from last week, pointing out the absurdity exhibited even by liberals of assuming us to be the source of the solution in Iraq, when that is impossible, for we are the problem. This week's article is another gem.
To be honest I'd like to see her articles published in papers like The Guardian, and I wonder if she's ever thought about submitting any? Anyway, I just wanted to express my appreciation. Plaidder, I'd raise a toast to you, but for that I don't drink, so I'll raise a glass of milk to you at least. Cheers!
