From today until I get back from New Zealand (April 17), posting will be light, as I’m preparing to leave and have tons of stuff to do. Bear with me, and after March 15 I’ll ask readers to ratchet back on emailing me when I’m on the road.
Meanwhile, here’s a 3½-minute video by “Jonathan Pie” that’s relevant to the last post.
As I’ve mentioned before, “Jonathan Pie” is the pseudonym for the comedic alter ego of Tom Walker, who, acting as a newsman, suddenly goes off on unhinged rants—rants that contain a kernel of truth. At 1:30, Pie begins to rant about the offense culture of the British Left, which, he says, comes from students.
TRIGGER WARNING: Bad language!
Jonathan Pie is my hero.
I can well see why.
He’s mine as well, a man after my own heart.lol
Well, I turned the sound low, closed my door, and listened with a big ‘ol grin on my face. That was nicely cathartic. Now I am becalmed to go teach a class.
Really great stuff. Can’t stop laughing.
shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits
Woonderful rant!
“I’m preparing to leave and have tons of stuff to do. ”
I suppose then it’d be a faux pas for me to request to make one additional comment on the following closed Hili Dialogue?

I like this rant even better:

That is amazing, particularly the final descriptive rant.

I’ve worked at Salford Quays and there are some very nice bridges to throw your pets or yourself off.
I love you, Jonathan Pie.
Please put a 🙂 behind the “TRIGGER WARNING”! It really creeps me out, without it…
I personally want a 😉 with every trigger warning.
Or maybe an OUCH😖
Fucking brilliant!
These rants are SO spot-on. More brilliant than even the best comedic rants of Monty Python.
Perhaps someday, he can borrow a bit from the Python canon, and he will conclude one of his exceptionally perceptive rants with “This is an ex-President!”
A girl can dream of impeachment, or implosion, can’t she?
I love truth tellers. Marry me, Jonathan Pie.
Absolutely, positively on target!
I love the line,”I’m trying to be objective here” before he goes off again.lol
I love how he talks back to “Tim?”, who’s on his earpiece.

Here’s a recent interview with Jonathan Haidt and Frank Bruni on the incident at Middlebury College.
