I noticed in the Guardian at the weekend that they cover the Greer vs Rushdie war of words surrounding the Brick Lane adaption. All I could think though, perhaps uncharitably, was how Greer looks increasingly like that mad woman with the cats in the Simpsons who goes 'grtawmenahraha'. So, without reading a word of the article I imagined that any deft intellectually rigourous and artfully deployed salvo from Rushdie would be greeted with a flurry of unintelligable consonants and vowels, and probably a cat in the face. Thanks for the link by the way.

Sorry, I just left a facinating comment about how Germain Greer looks just like the mad woman with the cats in the Simpsons. But it got lost. I'll just say thanks for the link and I hope this publishes.
