Here
comes Aaron
One of my regular
correspondents - Dr. Aaron Oakley - has lept into the blogging business
with Bizzare Science.
It's only been going a few days and it's already impressive. An ex-greenie
himself, Aaron takes on the paper-thin scaremongering of the eco-lobby.
He's not bad at putting the boot into left-wing media types either. I
happily welcome him to my links list.

Check this one out too
Clubbeaux
is run by Dave Sims: "Current events, religion, business, sports,
entertainment and invective from david sims, one harp seal who's not taking
it anymore."
Heh, it's a winner
already. Wotz a harp seal anyway?
Fortunately, Dave
has the necessary writing skills to support his invective. I especially
liked this;
And in point of
fact Americans never did take out their anger on “innocent”
American Arabs and Muslims, since Americans are truly peaceful. Americans
genuinely do not like war, when it must occur we want it to be quick
and effective and brought to an end and the enemy reconciled with –
World War II enemies Japan, Italy and German are today three of our
closest allies, closer than World War II allies France and Russia, we’ve
even effected a workable reconciliation with Vietnam.
This is the polar
opposite of Islamic societies, which irrevocably demonize their enemies
and consign them to a perpetual state of war. Today Christians are being
brutally murdered in Indonesia and Pakistan for the offense of being
Christian. I haven't seen accounts of any anti-Muslim backlash in America.
Yes.
Dave's no blind, stars-n-stripes
nationalist either. He's capable of staring fearlessly at the true black
heart of the USA: namely, the godawful
beer.

Where would the blogosphere be without The Guardian?
George Monbiot gives
us another article of mind-numbing
idiocy;
For the past eight
years the US, with Britain's help, appears to have been seeking to prevent
a resolution of the crisis in Iraq. It is almost as if Iraq has been
kept on ice, as a necessary enemy to be warmed up whenever the occasion
demands. Today, as the economy slides and Bin Laden's latest mocking
message suggests that the war on terrorism has so far failed, an enemy
which can be located and bombed is more necessary than ever. A just
war can be pursued only when all peaceful means have been exhausted.
In this case, the peaceful means have been averted.
Yep folks, Saddam's
warmongering, genocide and sponsorship of terrorism is naught but an illusion...
all capitalist propaganda to distract us from the fact that it's all
Dubya's fault.

Wot he sed
Damian Penny on the
IDF
raid on Khan Yunis
Frankly, I don't
know what to think. You don't have to be pro-Palestinian to admit that
while the Israelis may not target Palestinian civilians, the IDF has
sometimes been careless - if not negligent - in trying to avoid civilian
casualties. And yet, the constant, steady barrage of completely baseless
accusations flung at the Israeli armed forces is enough to turn one
from ever believing what the Palestinians have to say. Stories of a
nonexistent Jenin "massacre" are still being spread; poor
Mohammad Al-Dura is still portrayed as a victim of the Israelis, long
after it has been definitively proven that Palestinian gunfire killed
him.
I want to feel much
more sympathy for the families of those who died last night, yet I find
it difficult to do so. And in a way, that scares me.
Indeed.
