Harriett Sherwood’s piece today in The Guardian contains one of them most unintentionally hilarious headlines I’ve seen in a “serious” publication in quite a while – and, its likely that the editors at the satire “news” site, The Onion, are frustrated that they didn’t think of it themselves.
Yes, clearly unmoved by the Lebanese Armed Forces’ heroic but futile attempts yesterday to stave off what can only be described as utterly merciless attacks on Lebanon’s poor, helpless Cedars – and seemingly indifferent to the worldwide outcry by environmentalists – Israel launched another brutaloffensive in an attempt to destroy every last remaining remnant of the once proud and prosperous trees (roots, stems, branches, and all!) along their northern border, which had been holding on to dear life since the initial assault yesterday.
Note:
Thanks to CIF WATCH, I have enjoyed my morning coffee while reading some great humor! Israel, those trees will probably continue to need pruning with your tender, loving care.
