Humble pie

By Clark Nida

I really must learn to curb my penchant for uninformed social comment. It has been all-too-revealing of a simmering anti-American sentiment, which two years as a US resident alien has served only to putrefy. I’ve just discovered that I can download America’s leading satirical e-zine “The Onion” to my new Kindle – and scales have fallen from my eyes.

I was quickly rewarded with this priceless pearl:

“Murdoch, who established his widely-admired career on the foundations of basic morality and sound business ethics, has, until now, been revered as a pillar of honesty and accountability in the business world. However the Australian-American billionaire said the events of the past few months could make it very difficult for him to restore honor to his otherwise spotless legacy.”

What is there left to be said? I hang my head in shame and slink off into the shadows.
