Inspirational stuff – youngest person (short of 17 years old) to sail solo, unassisted around the world. We have heroes! Jessica has her own blogsite, is releasing a book and will sell her story to Newscorp for a packet. I hope she makes a fortune. The deadheads who say her behaviour is masochistic and reckless should go to sleep on the couch. They were born by mistake and their gutless, insipid lives are valueless by comparison. How many whining lefties will disparage her efforts? Wait for it.
Here you go, Harry. One of those rabid lefties at News Ltd piling on Jessica. http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/jessicas-journey-was-a-dangerous-narcissistic-indulgence/
For what it’s worth, I’m pretty much with you. Good on her.
I’ve been scared and alone in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night a few times, a fraction of what Jessica Watson endured, but enough to have huge admiration for her accomplishment.
But I’m confused. Even though I manage a small but very profitable manufacturing company, even though I founded a national sporting organisation, I thought I qualified as a lefty because I’ve voted Labor or Green all my life. Now I gotta whine as well? Maybe I’ll just whine about stereotyping.
The world would be a better place if The Australian got rid of those rabid lefties who whine all the time in its opinion pages.
[...] Web News Roundup Happy Birthday Jessica! Quite an achievement, so naturally, some whiners get the daggers out. Harry Clarke has a better take. [...]
