Oi gevalt!
There really is only one word for Oliver Kamm: unique.
UPDATE: Oh dear, not a very clear post. I think you'd have to be telepathic to realise my headline's intention. It was Media Lens to which I was referring, not the wonderful Oliver.

February 15th, 2008 6:55pmStephen, I'm not very clear what you're trying to say: Oi gevalt is usually an expression of dismay, but Kamm's writing in this piece - as in his others - is well researched, carefully argued, and a model of good prose, and thus anything but dismaying. He arguably _is_ unique, but you almost make it sound like a bad thing. Can you clarify? Thanks
