Today in the New York Times, that self described bearer of all that is fit to print, has just written an article on our friend the gray squirrel and that the English, those creatures to our east, across the great waters, who believe they have some competence in our language, have begun hunting and cooking our fine friend!
This is akin to the last British proposal by one Jonathan Swift in his article in 1729 entitled, A MODEST PROPOSAL For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland,from being a burden on their parents or country,and for making them beneficial to the public, which suggested that the solution to the Irish problem was to cook the young Irish children! Imagine the nature and character of a people who go out and hunt poor helpless creatures, squirrel or Irish child alike, and then cook them! I am aghast!
Then, the New York Times publishes the recipes on how to prepare this atrocities for human consumption, how horrific! Perhaps I missed the Times recipes on Irish Children, fortunately for me for I might have made a meal for some fine English gentlemen, or perhaps the Times may have published recipes on to prepare gastronomic delights from other humans being held captive by their oppressive regimes!
How cruel, how sadistic, no wonder we no longer trust such a paper, a paper which promulgates mass extermination of this sort via culinary delights! The very placement of the article, in the Times Dining Section of all places! Yikes indeed!
