ODE Watch: Can You Smell What Anthony Warren Is Cooking?
College Republicans Chair Anthony Warren exercises the nuclear option on ODE cartoonist, here. Offending illustration here. Warren does not address the cartoon’s scandalous deployment of scare quotes, but does use the phrase “the smell of freedom”.
In other news, ODE sub-editors have just given up trying to headline Ailee Slater columns, here. (I would perhaps have gone with “blah dysfunctional society blah”, but it’s fine the way it is.) The piece itself seems to have had vital explanatory paragraphs excised; the good ol’ five Ws are running at no better than sixty percent strength. We also have the spectacular sentence
Lucila Ventura, 18 years old, is charged with murder, attempted murder, child endangerment and so on.
It’s the “and so on” that really kills you in front of a jury, isn’t it? Hard to blame the editors for not making much an effort on this one.
