Whacking Permalink Archive 1-3-03 Why war is essential....this time anyway Fellow Canberra libertarian
Stephen Dawson makes the case for war: part
one, part
two. Angry Anderson has
posted a good picture. Richard Dawkins may be an expert Darwinian Biologist, but when it comes to politics his thinking is as complex as the dopiest of the thick-as-pigshit creationists he bashes so regularly. A long time member of the culturally-superior snotterati (he still whinges about the cultural horrors of teenagers wearing baseball caps), he's just penned a column for The Independent, and he yawningly recycles all the Bush-The-Dumb-redneck, it's all about oiiiiiil, the stupid yanks love to kill arabs, Bush was "unelected" wank. Some of his blatherings are mind-numbingly stupid;
They didn't elect him? How'd he get there then? And here's another question: if the presidential election were held today, do you think he'd lose?
...and all the uneducated swill will remain in situ I presume. We hear this blather all the time from the educated holier-than-thou left, and funnily enough, all those "decent americans" always seem to stay put even when the wrong people get elected. ....and you really
must read his imaginary letter to Americans.
Julie's never going
to get her street-cred back with
this sort of attitude. Read it - it's a hoot. Bike season is back baybee! The Superbike World Championship for 2003 kicks off this weekend at Valencia in Spain.
Unfortunately, this competition is DOA, with Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Aprilia and Benelli all having withdrawn factory-level participation from the championship. Essentially, every race is gonna be Ducati, Ducati, Ducati. Suzuki have an official entry, but with only one bike (and an uncompetitive four-cylinder at that), and a crap rider (Gregorio Lavilla), they'll be there to make up the numbers. The drain of riding talent has been crippling: 2002 world champ Colin Edwards and 2001 champ Troy Bayliss going to the big leagues of MotoGP, as has always exciting challenger Nori Haga. 2001 regular winner Ben Bostrom has gone back to the American Superbike competition. We're left with the appalling scenario that B-grade talent Neil Hodgson will run away with the championship. Yikes. It's unbelievable this overrated brit will claim the title when vastly more talented riders like Slight and Haga never did.
The one bit of interest in this years Ducati Cup? The new Foggy-Petronas team, with '96 champ Troy Corser as lead rider. One of the few world-class riders in the field (though he has been bizarrely inconsistent since '98), he also turned the Aprilia RSV into a race-winner, before being sacked at the end of 2000 in a shockingly stupid move by Aprilia (he was replaced by Nori Haga who failed to win a single race). Look for Corser to win some podiums later in the year, and maybe even a race win in the rain somewhere. So where is the real
motorbike racing action gonna be this year? Simple: MotoGP
and the World
Supersport Championship. Frankly, they'll both be awesome this year
- lots of competitive fast bikes scrapping for wins - and will leave Superbike
gasping for breath. Gotta love this report, saying how Israelis have elected themselves a conservative government, and peace is now impossible thanks to this bunch of crazy warmongering arab-killing Jews. No mention - of course - of the almost universal arab desire to annihilate Israel and exterminate the jews. Well, the story was
written by European journalists, so we can expect nothing else.
The only talent paranoid loser Hugh Mackay has ever had is to keep stretching the horizons of the word "pathetic". Today he's actually wetting himself about non-existent pro-war celebrations.
Go and get a life,
you sadcase. Other than wrecking
economies and supporting tyrants, it seems socialist governments can't
even get the time right.
Some idiots must have
a lot of time of their hands to worry about things
like this.
