No one speaks the language of politics as thoughtfully, accurately and dispassionately as Orwell did. The contrast with the heedless conversation witnessed in our recent political campaign about patriotism, honor, "real" America, socialists, terrorists, pigs, pitbulls and barracudas is painfully stark.
Here is an interesting blog – Orwell’s journal entries published daily on the same date as Orwell wrote them seventy years ago. (the dates appear in the non-American style – day / month /year) Most are pastorial musings about the weather, gardening and farm animals alongside some simple sketches. No political language here but fun to read nonetheless.
