Deconstructionists And Strange Textual Practices
Wednesday, 15 August 2001, 2:26 pm
Press Release: The Corrective Party
"The Corrective Party agrees with groups calling for the
return of phonics to the classroom!!!" said Sister
Paedophobia, education spokesnun for New Zealand's only
corporal punishment party today.
The Correctives added
that there should be a public investigation into shameless
deconstructors who had their wicked way with educationalists
and regarded all meaning as unstable:
"Some may regard
deconstruction as nothing more than a harmless French
pastime but we know better!!! Deconstructionists say that
Kant should have intertextual liaisons (!!!) with the
Marquis de Sade before he became an SM and BD priest!!!
Plato and Aristole are depicted "at it" in "Dirty Post
Cards!!!" Sister Paedophobia exclaimed tremulously.
"We
don't know what it means but it all sounds filthy. Mind you,
we also hope the phonics people will stop engaging in
polysyllabics, because that is too!!!"

In that respect, Uffindell’s defenders on the streets of Tauranga risk sounding a bit like the psychiatrist Kargol played by Graham Chapman on Monty Python. Some of the media commentary has also noted how the Uffindell saga has taken the shine off National’s good poll results and distracted us all from the unveiling of an important welfare policy at the recent National Patty conference. OK… So let's put the spotlight back on that welfare policy...
