an open letter to geraldine kennedy editor of the irish times
Madam.
Now is not the time to worry about who called whose newspaper a fembo commie pinko abortionist rag that spent the Cold War rooting for the Russians while at the same time blatently promoting such arrant hedonism in social polity that Ireland has been left with a culture the Visigoths would be ashamed of, and you weren't really all that radical, were you, since it doesn't really require any courage, does it, for a roomful of sneering Bolsheviks to sneer in unison at the Catholic church without ever any one of you managing to say anything even vaguely original except for the odd gem clearly lifted from writings of mine.
Well, I'm just sayin' is all.
Etc, etc.

Cool! Sounds just the organ for me to start my career in journalism.
Btw, time to amend the audio clip at the top of the page to 'not so recent'.
Just saying is all ;)
You're right Schnee.
It is an organ.
