BONUS EPISODE: The Unfairly Twisted Mind of Jonah Goldberg

Show Notes

We are back with a very special bonus episode, our first every Big Shiny Takes listener request!

For this episode we read a column by Jonah Goldberg, an American columnist and commentator. Goldberg argues that despite many police forces in the USA originating from slave patrols, it's unfair to say the history of policing is steeped in racism. As part of this column's weird, disjointed approach to making its point poorly the reader is taken on a journey through the history of policing and law enforcement, inexplicably ending up in ancient Rome.

Where did we read this column you ask? Why the Toronto Sun of course! Some of you might think it's odd that a syndicated columnist from the USA can get a column published in Canada. That's because it is odd. I have no idea why this column is in a Canadian newspaper.

Shout out to @wrongbinary for the request!

Have you read a column recently that you feel like the rest of the world needs to know about, specifically because of how terrible it is? Send us a link to the story!
