Nice pictures for your enjoyment

October 2002, Mallacoota, Vic.

This cute little bird was happily perched on my motorcycle outside my motel room watching me pack.


Sure was a curious little fellow......

Low bloggage

Bloggin' quiet at the moment as you will have noticed. A few rather unpleasant days in my corner of the universe. Will be back into the swing of things tomorrow.

Guess those anti-war protests didn't work to well huh?

Poor peacenicks. All that marching, all those banners, all that outraged howling. What was the result?

Increased support for the war.

More from the great minds at aus.motorcycles

More penetrating war dialogue;

One of the "sins" that damn Saddam Hussein is that he tried to assassinate a president of the USA; George Bush snr.
I've seen Dubya saying "he tried to kill my daddy" on tv too but I can't
recall this ever happening (or ALMOST happening!).
Does anyone here know what this assassination attempt is all about?

Like the use of quotation marks on "sins".

When George Snr went to the Gulf there was an alleged plan by Iraqis to
assasinate him, early 90s?. Apparently US efforts to do it to Saddam first don't
count as provocation.

Awww, the poor guy

P'raps they got sick of him always calling Hussein "Saddem"!

This fella should be writing for The Guardian.

For your reading pleasure

Do you have serious reality issues? Do you secretly yearn for a new Joseph Stalin to come to power and cleanse the world of the stink of democracy and liberty? Then do we have the magazine for you!

Yes, from the just released new edition of Tyrant Lovers United;

- The stunning news that some lawyers and TV presenters get paid lots of money.

- Lots of bluster about "resistance" and the promise that mass action will drive Howard out!! (Yes folks, these are known as elections, and Howard has won the last three).

- apparently, capitalism and horrible democracies are about to be overthrown by the prolitariat: We may be witnessing the beginnings of that process again in an international challenge not only to war but to the capitalist system at its heart as well. No, I'm serious. It's apparently really going to happen this time!

Back to Hugh Mackay then

Hughie has his auto-bullshit generator firing on all cylinders today. Australia's most desperately out-of-touch "social researcher" informs us that despite being a bunch of Howard-voting racist nazi greed-scum, we are now all (at the same time) apparently emerging from our apathy to embrace the anti-war movement, socialist economics and general touchy-feeliness.

Is this wanker confused or what? So keenly trying every week - despite painfully obvious evidence to the contrary - to convince himself that the ignorant masses for whom he has such contempt are emerging from their caves and are being converted to Hughie's own juvenile, pants-wetting leftism. So the anti-war protests are now a totally unified cry against the all-round capitalist horrors of Gulag Howard.

All we needed was a catalyst for our frustration, our anger, our anxiety. Now we have one. No wonder we've taken to the streets in our hundreds of thousands: this is just the beginning of our re-engagement. If I were John Howard, I'd be listening very, very carefully.

Mackay's been singing the same song since 1996. And Howard is still the Prime Minister and is miles ahead in the opinion polls. Good going Hugh, you've really got your finger on the pulse of the people there dude........

Quote of the day

Just because the Spartacists march in your rally and hold up signs supporting North Korea doesn’t mean anyone else believes in their twisted cause. But mass movements have a way of being hijacked by the ardent few, the ones who are damned dead serious about overturning the established order and oiling up the guillotine to deal with the undecided. Their work is made easier by comfortable dilettantes who think it’s funny to call Bush a Nazi - or who march without comment beside someone who does.

Anti-war ponderings

Fellow Canberra libertarian John Humphreys doesn't much care for my recent opinions of last weekend's anti-war marches.

As I argue in my response, John's protest seems to rest on his overly defensive assumption that his own sensible anti-war arguments (and those of other libertarians) can be lumped in with those of the "chanting + banners = truth" crowd, and the bizarre assertion that calling that particular crowd on their mad ravings is somehow dismissive of serious debate. I ask: what 'serious debate' is that crowd capable of engaging in?

The Mirror loves Jimmy

Jimmy Carter that is. These thick-headed lefty goons are practically creaming their pants in this barf-inducing editorial;

HEED A US PRESIDENT WE TRUSTED

JIMMY Carter was not a flashy or showy President, but history judges him as one of America's greatest.

He never ordered US troops into battle and believes talk and negotiation are better than war. He was a worthy winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

So what he says matters. And President Carter, with all his experience and wisdom, opposes the bombing and invasion of Iraq.

Can you feel the stomach-churning lurrrrve?

Can you feel the stunning hypocrisy?

President Le Wanker

Seems hypocrite scumbucket Jacques Chirac is outraged that those arrogant little Eastern Europeans just aren't behaving European enough.

BRUSSELS, Belgium - French President Jacques Chirac launched a withering attack Monday on eastern European nations who signed letters backing the U.S. position on Iraq, warning it could jeopardize their chances of joining the European Union.

Gosh darn it, the EUnuchs won't be able to waffle about unilateralism anymore with these uncooperative little bastards running around......................

"It is not really responsible behavior," he told a news conference. "It is not well brought up behavior. They missed a good opportunity to keep quiet."

Keep quiet.

Oh, but we all know it's the Americans who are the bullies....right?

Idiots and Anti-war prevarication

Just listened to the Late Night Live "lefties discuss war" show. One of the guests - NSW Labor socialist nutter Meredith Burgmann - displayed the disgraceful intellectual fraudulence of many in the anti-war movement. She was asked over and over what should be done about Iraq if we choose not to go to war.

Not once did she even attempt to answer the question. Even Phillip Adams got tired of her avoidance. When asked the question, she would proceed with bizarre rants about Kyoto, Dubya's oil greed, the history of Saddam's rise to power, American imperialism, Vietnam, "why don't we invade Pakistan because of the abuse of women", USA's own nuclear weapons.....and on and on she bloody went....

Yet she could not answer the question: what are you going to do about Saddam if there is no war?

No answer was forthcoming, just the patended evasions of the typical west-hating anti-war gasbag. Better a million dead Iraqis by Saddam's hands than a thousand by Americans, eh?

Paul Sheehan on anti-war protestors

From The Sydney Morning Herald:

What is ambiguous about this movement is its timing. Twenty-three million Iraqis live under the jackboot of Saddam's vast apparatus of oppression (the remaining 1 million Iraqis are wearing the jackboots). Yet where were the mass street demonstrators when Saddam was gassing, murdering and displacing hundreds of thousands of Kurds? Or invading Iran? Or invading Kuwait? Or wiping out the Madan tribes?

Millions of people have taken to the streets in outrage at the prospect of Iraqis being killed by Americans, but the streets were empty as a million Iraqis were murdered, gassed, tortured, raped, imprisoned, arrested or dispossessed under Saddam. It's ongoing. Demonstrate against Saddam inside Iraq and you die.

I
raqi girl praises peace protestors.....not

From The Sydney Morning Herald:

Rania Kashi, 19, a first-year student at Cambridge University, sent the long e-mail to about 15 friends who were considering going on Saturday's protest march in London.

"I say to them [the protesters]: do not continue to allow the Iraqi people to be punished because you are 'unhappy' with the amount of power America is allowed to wield in a faulty world.

"Do not use the Iraqi people as a pawn in your game for moral superiority - when you allow a monster like Saddam to rule for 30 years without so much as protesting against his rule, you lose the right to such a claim."

Amen sister.
