How Appealing
# Posted 6:55 PM by Ariel David Adesnik 
There is one thing worth noting about today's column though: Dowd comes perilously close to criticizing a European. The almost-victim is sexy British chef Nigella Lawson, the "domestic goddess" who may or may not be subverting modern feminism by glorifying life in the kitchen.
I say "may or may not" because Dowd's column is far too incoherent for anyone to figure if she is actually criticizing Lawson or merely whining about something tangentially related to her.
However, I am sensing that a partial redefinition of Immutable Law #5 may be in order. Said law states that "Europeans are always right."
But are the British European? They refuse to replace the pound with the euro. Their Prime Minister has publicly allied himself with the President of the United States.
My guess is that Dowd wants to issue a warning to the British: start behaving more like the rest of the EU , or else I will flay you with my withering sarcasm. However, after living here for three years, my sense is that the British are not afraid of sarcasm. (0) opinions -- Add your opinion
