The new Friday columnist, Paul Murty, is absolutely horrible. He doesn’t have any original ideas, and it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t actually research his articles past Wikipedia. The economy is not well on its way to recovery. He talks about the preachers on Turlington Plaza as if it’s breaking news and then the issue of gun control as if he knows everything, when actually he offered no ideas of his own whatsoever. At least last week’s column, “Modern Tea Party is deeply flawed,” was relevant to today. Could he write something that isn’t dripping with disdain for anything Republican?
I’m getting a little tired of Paul Murty’s column. I was bemused by — if not OK with— his argument that we should do away with guns. I’m a little less OK with his ignorant generalization of the Tea Party movement. And while I think Tea Partiers are all crazies, I don’t stand on a podium and spout my ignorance of their cause. I really don’t care if the opinions section is inflammatory, inspiring, sweet, horrendously offensive or boring, but please demand that thought be put into the opinion, otherwise it just becomes ignorant rambling. And I’d rather have one of those terribly boring sexToons than more ignorant rambling.
