Mark Steel
My Word document for writing blogs has quite a few entries I haven�t post because either it�s about the current situation, or it�s about something literary I�m not really interested in but thought it might indicate that I am not completely obsessed with right-wing bloggers and their goldfish-like approach to history. However, I was sent a link (thank you Mr Gili) to British comedian Mark Steel�s article for ZNet that I felt I could get away with. Recently, I saw his warm and witty TV biograph of Karl Marx. He managed to explain the concept of �dialectic� so that even your pet dog (though not goldfish) could understand it. Here�s a random example from one article about the elusive reasons for attacking Iraq:
�Some politically correct types might ask what the evidence is, but that’s the sort of bureaucracy that snarls up any legal system. The evidence is bound to be as damning as that produced by Nato chief George Robertson when he held up an Iraqi canister and announced it would be lethal if Saddam filled it with deadly anthrax. Just as a bottle of lemonade would be lethal if you filled it with deadly anthrax, which is why the axis of evil should include Iraq, Iran and the Schweppes bottling plant in Sidcup.�
