Hey, don't knock it, it might be *very* good for this purpose. The Nation is just the right size, weight and paper type to be folded into a "Millwall Brick", which can be a pretty nasty offensive weapon in the right hands. Strangely, there don't seem to be any instructions on the Net for the creation of a millwall brick -- all there is are a couple of sites for some ska band, which might or might not be Nazis. But basically, you have to fold your copy of the Nation to a third of its width, then fold the resulting long thin tube in half. You keep the two folded ends in your hand, and bash the cop with the corners.
