Sarah Kendzior: slayer of imaginary dragons and self-promoter extraordinaire

Rushed home from The Korean’s with my Globe and Mail only to find that the dolts who run the joint have given over two full pages of the Opinion section to the hyperventilating hack Sarah Kendzior. You’ll recall that last winter Sarah was trying to get a NYT boycott going because the paper of Krugman, Freidman, and Maureen Dowd had, at least in her mind, become a shameless conduit for pro-Trump propaganda.

While the Times seems to have weathered the boycott, I’m thinking of organizing a boycott of the Globe if they keep forking over valuable space to D-list American public intellectuals.

Sarah’s two-page yawner is titled “The path of most resistance,” and not surprisingly, it’s mostly about Sarah. Did you know Sarah wrote a book? Did you know Sarah lives in Missouri? Did you know she likes to take her kids to National Parks?…  Those are just a few of the things Sarah wants you to know about her.

So while she’s driving around America on her epic (went to almost half the states!) camping trip – book promo tour, she also found time to stop here and there to rally “the resistance,” which seems to be mostly middle-age white women who still can’t get their heads around the fact that Trump is President and Hillary isn’t.

She stopped in Knoxville Tennessee just before a scheduled gathering of neo-Nazis at the U of T campus, “a recruiting ground for white supremacists…” That leads to a five paragraph rumination on “the unhealed scars of history, and the callousness of elites who treat white supremacists as intellectual contrarians.”

Here’s a report on the neo-Nazi meeting from knoxnews.com. Forty- five people showed up. The University of Tennessee Knoxville campus has over 28,000 students. Looks to me like that white-nationalist recruiting is an even bigger flop than Kendzior’s New York Times boycott!

She’s still got a bee in her bonnet about newspapers in New York, wondering why they used to cover Trump but now they cover up for him instead. She’s not naming names, though. Maybe she got a STFU letter from the Times legal department.

Anyway, things are looking pretty horrendous in Trump’s America. In fact, it’s so bad that “…there’s a kind of horror that shakes you to your core, when you start believing in the devil because of what you witness, and in hell because you want comfort.” Yup, Trump’s America is so frightfully toxic it’s got Americans pining for the comforts of hell!

Come on, Globe and Mail! Surely you can do better than this?!
