Robert Fisk is a notorious Brit auto-hater and has at one point joined blogosphere language for a verb meaning "bogus" or "inaccurate," as his Arab-loving, West-hating pieces are chock-ful1 of rumor, innuendo, and plain BS.
But he does get his snoot out of joint when someone writes a book even worse than his spurious prose and puts "Robert Fisk" on it as the author. Click the link & see him get his dander up.
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." Otto von Bismarck
