Explanation

I've been busy writing a paper for a course I'm doing. Hence the low bloggage.
link


Say, whatever happened to these freaks?

Wonder where Dave Barry has got to? No not that Dave Barry. This Dave Barry.

Dave was some fossilised crackpot from Western Australia who wrote a long series of increasingly deranged e-mails to myself and Tim Blair in late 2002 & early '03. He was very worried about worldwide zionist-american conspiracies, and being overrun with fascist right-wingers. He also spent a lot of time telling us how successful he was, and how he didn't really have time to read our blogs because he was being showered in babes, "awards", money and book deals.

Not surprisingly, he couldn't give us the title of anything he'd actually published, or the name of the awards he'd won, though he did claim to be a distant relative of the real Dave Barry, and he was about to sue Blair's arse off. We never heard from him again.

I pretty much concluded that Dave must have been on day release from a padded cell and forgotten to take his meds.

Which brings me to my second all-time favourite reader-nutter, "Paul".

Paul didn't have too many toys in the attic. Like Mr. Barry, he assured me that he was way too busy being flooded with offers from publishers to read my site or send me any more mail, except he sent me seven more mails. In the last (and most bizarre) of these, he appeared to suffer a complete meltdown and admitted he'd made the whole thing up.

Yeah, I'm the guy who you emailed several times in one night. You may recall, that I claimed I was waiting for an email from a writing gig. You reckoned I was bullshitting you.

You were so right dude!

Anyway Tex, the main thing is that I want you to know that you genuinely did teach me a lesson; you taught me about the importance of not writing emails with big, scary blocks of text in the first paragraph.

Take a bow.

No probs. The pleasure was mine, therapy-boy.

And hey, speaking of nutters, where has Michael Talismann gone?

Today's Cantinera

Blasting in the background was Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is". Yeah. I put that on.

So I've guess my crack is now power ballads. I have some serious problems. Oh, days of drugs, you were so much easier.

I'm totally a sick fuck -- I've replaced rum with Journey.

Touchy, Feely Canadians

This is beyond parody:

EDMONTON -- Corrections Canada won't let guards at maximum security prisons wear stab-proof vests because it sends a confrontational "signal" to prisoners. "If you have that kind of presence symbolized by (a stab-proof vest), you're sending a signal to the prisoner that you consider him to be a dangerous person," said Tim Krause.

Canada's geopolitics on a smaller scale.

Pirates of the Carribean

Saw it. Enjoyed it, but maaaan did it drag. Needed a good 10 minutes chopped from the fight scenes, though they were nowhere near as dull as any of the kung-fu longeurs in The Matrix.

It was still mighty good, brainless fun, with a brilliant Keith Richards-as-pirate riff from Johnny Depp. Geoffery Rush was a hoot as the undead pirate captain. Jonathan Pryce barely acted at all, while Kiera Knightley tried to. The special effects were great.

Definitely worth a look of you want some brain-candy entertainment.

Scum in our midst

Little Green Footballs has a pic of some friendly peace-loving Australian muslims. The wonders of multicultural relativism.

Filth Bitch

LGF also has a great post on a hate festival featuring the psychotic racist child murdering whore formerly known as Winnie Mandela:

Madikizela-Mandela was addressing a meeting arranged by the Palestine Solidarity organisation in Lenasia, Johannesburg, to protest against the recent assassination by the Israeli state of the leader of Hamas, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.

She described the killing of Yassin - who inspired a campaign of suicide bombings in Israel - as a “cowardly act that took the life of a brave hero”.

Read the rest of LGF's piece to remind yourself of Winnie's humanitarian values, which made her a hero of the left.

The Green Left Weekly mourns Yassin & cheers suicide bombers

Before reading this piece by Nidal al Haddad, make sure you haven't just eaten, and that there are no throwable objects within reach.

It begins with an introduction which seethes against the killing of a poor, old cripple:

The elderly quadriplegic was killed by missiles fired from an Israeli helicopter gunship on March 22 as he was been wheeled out of a Gaza City mosque after early morning prayers.

after paragraphs showing Israel as the most evil nation in the history of humanity, we get this:

Most of the mainstream media has focused on Sheikh Yassin's support for “terror”, even comparing him to Osama bin Laden and Hamas to al Qaida, suggesting that they are all “terrorists” — and, by implication, justified targets for state-organised assassination.

Gosh. We'd better report these "terrorist" slurs against Yassin and Osama to Media Watch, because, as Nidal shows, we have completely the wrong idea about Hamas:

Hamas, however, is not a terrorist organisation but a mass-based, Palestinian resistance movement established in 1987 at the start of the first intifada, with the aim of liberating Palestine from the Israeli occupation. According to Hamas, this does not mean the expulsion of Jews from historical Palestine, but the realisation of the right of return for the Palestinians expelled from the towns and villages they lived in before 1948, in accordance with UN General Assembly Resolution 194.

Yeah, if only the kikes would stop with the pogroms, the Hamas guys will go back to selling fruit.

Some more of Yassin's humanitarian wonders:

In an interview with New York-based journalist Roger Gaess during May and June 2002 in Gaza City, Sheikh Yassin explained Hamas' position: “All of Palestine is occupied... [My] own best vision for Palestine is of a land for Christians, Jews, Muslims — a state where everyone has equal rights.”

Hamas also provides badly needed social services to the people of the Gaza Strip, where Israeli occupation and military assault have shut down schools, hospitals and universities.

The Red Cross & The Rainbow Coalition with more kebabs.

And here's the "they deserve it" money shot:

Sheikh Ahmad Yassin has praised Palestinian suicide bombers and Hamas does carry out armed attacks on Israeli civilians just as Israeli soldiers have deliberately targeted Palestinian civilians.

Suicide bombings result from the hopelessness that many young Palestinians feel confronted by the absolute wretchedness of their conditions of life caused by an intransigent and brutal Israeli occupation.

Any condemnation of “terrorism” is rendered meaningless for Palestinians and most other Arabs by the Western world's refusal to oppose the far greater suffering that Israel has inflicted upon the Palestinian people.

Hooray for the brave child-murdering savages!!

If all this wasn't delusional enough....,

Pro-Israel reporting
The Western mainstream news media will always report the devastating effects of an Israeli bus or caf‚ blown up by a Palestinian suicide bomber, with due condemnation by Western political leaders. But we rarely, if ever, see pictures of the young Palestinian girl shot by occupying Israeli soldiers as she walks home from school, or the Palestinian child shot dead in her home by Israeli sniper fire.

The Western mainstream media is unlikely to even report the story of the elderly Palestinian man shot dead in his olive groves for straying too close to an Israeli military checkpoint.

We rarely see pictures of the aftermath of an Israeli missile strike in the middle of the night on a crowded Palestinian apartment building. We hardly ever see reportage of Palestinian land being stolen by Israeli settlers or the Palestinian homes that are bulldozed on an almost daily basis.

We never see pictures of Palestinian children suffering from the effects of malnutrition, or the daily humiliations suffered by Palestinians at Israeli checkpoints.

Nidal clearly has never seen the ABC, Fairfax papers or The Guardian. And I wonder what Nidal would think about this.

I won't quote any more of this shit. I feel ill. Go read it for yourself.

Greens: the "conscience" of our society.

And elsewhere in the Green Death Weekly...

* Saddam's favourite media poodle outlines his persecution complex, delusions of grandeur, genocide fantasies and tyrant admiration.

* Peter Boyle & Iggy Kim have a brilliant idea to improve the lives of aboriginies: keep them in welfare-program squalor, and nice big fuzzy programs like "reconciliation" and "land rights".

* Moonbat senator Kerry Nettle thinks Americans are bad for us.

Hamas

You need to read Alan E. Brain.s great piece about this lovely "charitable" organisation.
