Fancy my dear friend Ken Pantling worrying that people might think his
motives ill for posting Cooper's Commentary! Certainly not, I can warrant.
However the reference to "My Old Kentucky Home" in Jeff Cooper's
"Commentaries" is a feeble attempt to make humour from transcribing "non-PC"
and "PC" words of the 1853 Stephen Foster song adopted as the Kentucky State
Song. The line "All the African-Americans are homosexual" is actually "All
the darkies are gay" in the original.
No wonder Cooper was dropped from "Guns and Ammo". It is hard to disagree
that a lot of what he writes might be thought of as drivel
--
Sometimes he can come out with interesting stuff but a lot
of what he says is complete claptrap. Whining on about how
bad he thinks .223 is, for example. Peter Kokalis wrote a
rather good rebuttal to Jeff Cooper on that score. Anyway,
Steyr have discontinued the .376 Steyr Scout and the .223
is a top seller apparently, so it would appear the buying
public have voted with their wallets on that one, after Jeff
spent several columns trying to convince people to buy the
.376.
Steve.
