Prominent feminist offers advice to the little people: Kill your dogs

[Observation: An awful lot of people on the left are just a bunch of mad cranks ... and always have been. They just get taken seriously by the media.

Al Gore, Michael Moore, Tom Freidman, Sheryl Crow, Joy Behar, Bill Maher .... they're all just cranks shaking their canes at the world .... people don't recognize it cause they're not all old enough to need canes yet.

Germaine Greer’s fifteen minutes of fame expired years ago. The once prominent feminist is now struggling to find a new cause célèbre that can restart the clock. Oddly enough, she seems to have settled on the plight of her favorite flower.



Germaine Greer dislikes dog poo almost as much as we dislike the phrase "dog poo"
Outspoken Australian feminist Germaine Greer has launched a stinging attack on domestic dogs, blaming them for the ruination of a protected perennial flower, the English bluebell.

Addressing Britain’s Hay Festival on Thursday, the 72-year-old Melbourne-born academic who owns a patch of land covered in the plant that flowers in spring, pointed the finger at toxic dog poo for the plant’s scarcity.

”If you love your bluebells, kill your dog,” said Greer dramatically…

Overdramatically, actually.

Toxic dog poo. Watch out, Rachel Carson. Here comes Germaine Greer with a new book called “Silent but Deadly Spring.”
