<< KILL TREES, SAVE THE PLANET ~ MAIN ~ POLLUTION TO THE RESCUE >>
CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT BOOK
Antony Loewenstein, a “long-term Middle East watcher and participant” who is writing a book on Israel and Palestine, reveals the vast extent of his specialist knowledge:
Yet more evidence of Israel speaking the language of ‘peace’ but acting entirely differently came from a senior ally of Sharon, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni. He told a legal conference in early December that, despite years of Israeli denials, Sharon himself imagines the 425-mile separation barrier as the future border between Israel and a potential Palestinian State.
‘One does not have to be a genius to see that the fence will have implications for the future border,’ he said.
Tzipi Livni is female.
UPDATE. In other news from the margins:
* Webdiary has already blown its caps budget for 2006.
* Here’s a great story for Media Watch!
* Tim Lambert, blunderer, isn’t making a whole lot of sense:
I must have struck a nerve because Balir has now responded twice to this post. The first response was that it was just a joke so the temperatures don’t matter and then he changed his tune Dec 3 was a whole 1.9 degrees cooler than the average Dec 3 temperature. Shock Horror! It’s another Ice Age!
He mightn’t have struck a nerve, but he could be hitting the sauce. What on earth is Tim trying to say?
The President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s recent comments — which denied the Jewish Holocaust and suggested Israel should move to Europe and be ‘wiped off the map’ — indicate profound anti-Semitism within the Islamic Republic
He’s a bloody genius.
Posted by SoCalJustice on 2005 12 22 at 12:35 AM • permalink“Participant”? What does that mean? Did he vote in the Israeli elections? Did he chuck a rock at a
JewZionist oppressor? Did he get a rock chucked at him because some Pally thought he was a Kickass Commando Jew rather than a Self-Hating-Don’t-Make-Trouble-Herschel Jew? Did he break out the velvet smoking jacket and lay a sensitive-guy rap on Rachel Corrie about Zionism and Jenin and the poor Palestinians before they made the moonbat-with-two-backs in a Hamas arms-smuggling tunnel?Way O/T. Like Mark Steyn said, ‘Most of them seem to be called Mohammed’ .
Here’s another one for the list.Posted by Lucky Nutsacks on 2005 12 22 at 02:02 AM • permalinkWho’s Balir?
Wasn’t that a character from The Return Of The King?
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 12 22 at 02:49 AM • permalinkThe Real JeffS—He’s a terrifying figure out of Celtic mythology: Balir of the Evil Eye…
And Flavius Antonius writing a book about Israelis about as ridiculous as a Tzar writing a book about Judaism. It’ll never catch on…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 12 22 at 03:54 AM • permalinkJust so long as he doesn’t think ‘Sharon’ is a she, we’re fine.
Just don’t let Ant loose on Mardi Gras night when men are men and many of the women are also men. I think it could all end in tears when he sees his take-home date for the night standing up to pee (every man’s horror).
Mind you, Tzipi is not a name I had considered if my next kid is a girl tho’ this one is reasonably attractive from the photo.
Posted by Flying Giraffe on 2005 12 22 at 06:14 AM • permalinkYeah, I was wondering who this “Balir” character was, too, so I googled the name. I found a reference to one “Balir Frosthammer”, a hero in some kind of fantsy warrior game, and the web site included the information that Balir wanted me to “kill 6 Rockjaw Troggs and 6 burly Rockjaw trogs”. Er, I think that kind of stuff is more in Wronwright’s or McEnroe’s line.
#13- Shouldn’t that be jooish cookies?
#16- I think you get to kill him in Progress Quest.Posted by Jeremy Nimmo on 2005 12 22 at 03:06 PM • permalink#16 “... and the web site included the information that Balir wanted me to “kill 6 Rockjaw Troggs and 6 burly Rockjaw trogs”. Er, I think that kind of stuff is more in Wronwright’s or McEnroe’s line.”
Don’t worry, they’re dead. The Trogg shock troops tried taking over the secret moon base. We fended them off long enough for me to decipher a very technical Users Manual. It was almost as hard to understand as the one which accompanied my new DVD player. “Turn this button, move this lever”. What button, what lever?
McEnroe was no help. He kept yelling “shoot the damn laser you feckless pussywillow!” Well, I didn’t like that tone of voice and I told him that too. I’m not sure he heard me though, considering he was wrestling with a 7 foot Trogg with tentacles.
But I did get the space laser working. The Troggs are presently flotsam. But um, I did sort of hit a few things I wasn’t suppose to hit. A few buildings, New Orleans levees. McEnroe’s space shuttle. Stoopy Davy Dave’s shed that he uses for drying home grown marijuana. And um, the planet Mars. But I think everything’s OK now.

One could say it’s anti-semitic…
Posted by theoclitus on 2005 12 22 at 09:35 PM • permalinkWronwright,
“...a very technical Users Manual. It was almost as hard to understand as the one which accompanied my new DVD player.”I told them not to have IBM write the tech manuals. Did they listen? Nooooo. “It’a the lowest bid,” they said. Sure it was. You’re supposed to look for responsive bids. A random word generater is not adequate.
Posted by Michael Lonie on 2005 12 22 at 10:53 PM • permalinkRadio National Media Report with Richard Aidy had a snip about Delaney with lots of screeechin about the journo not being fairly done by.
Anyhow they was full of righteous indignation and all hands on hips about it but I don’t recall them mentioning at the time that she was a former ABC journo,let alone Media Watch material.Also she had no conviction recorded against her name.Wronwright, It’s all shiny.
No worries on lazing those levees.
Master Rove and the Zionist Cabal of Doom planned that Trogg attack all along…Tardis ya know.
Net evil quotients for the operation are well into positive territory. After all it got the ditch Madonna and sundry Amerikkka lovers to spout off about “occupied” N’awlins, and “dynamited levees”...Not to mention Spicoli’s red plastic cup of mercy.
It was worth every Joul.
#23 Richard, really, won’t you even consider taking some vacation time? You’ve saved the moon base, you’ve EARNED a break.—Posted by paco
Wait just a minute. Richard McEnroe terminated six, only six Troggs. I, on the other hand, destroyed the Trogg battle cruiser, uh once I figured out how to aim the laser and shoot it. Ok, it wasn’t a dreadnought class battle cruiser, I’ll admit, but it was one big sucker.
I’d just bet there were more than six troggs on it. Maybe 60. Possibly 600. Could be 6,000. Maybe more.
But at the fundamentalist Christian prayer breakfast the next morning, who does Karl put his arm around and praise warmly? If you said wronwright, you would be sadly, very sadly, mistaken.
What does an aspiring henchman have to do to get praise and recognition in this
evil cultbenevolent organization? Not to mention the large bonuses?Posted by wronwright on 2005 12 23 at 04:29 PM • permalinkwronwright, that was no Trogg battle cruiser you nuked into another dimension. It was a UN Blue Helmet “A” class quick response vessel, carrying only sidearms, on its way to chalk out a “safe haven” for civilians, on the dark side, from the last Trogg attack 300 years ago.
Frankly the less said about it the better. The paperwork has been horrific.
wronwright, that was you again.I should have known.
But look, thanks for the Troggs. We’ve collected six lifeboats full of the be-tentacled buggers,
enslaved themoffered them jobs under Australia’s new industrial relations legislation, and set ‘em to work in the brain control call centre.They can handle ten calls at one (advantage: tentacles) and work for one still-kicking hippy a week. Never eat the hippy’s brains, but. Reckon they taste like shit.
Not a bad piece of henching, I am hoping it gets me noticed during this promotion round.
MarkL
Canberrageoff—That was no Trogg battlecruiser. I don’t want to say what it was in a public forum, but… let’s just say Ted Turner’s yacht is WAY overdue on the last leg of the Transpac. And you thought CNN was pissy before?
Paco—I was ON vacation, taking a little quality time with Lt. Ellis of the Moonbase Fishnet Spacesuit Detachment. Now thanks to wronwright *twitch* I have to figure out a way down offa here in time for Christmas with the family… this is SO going in his permanent record.
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 12 23 at 06:43 PM • permalinkPssst! Wronwright. Over here, by the lamp post [Dammit, lady, curb your dog will you! All over my new trench coat, too!]. Listen, Wronwright, I know that you were the key man in the moon base victory, and you know that you were the key man in the moon base victory, but Richard’s been a little, y’know, edgy lately, kinda twitchy, and he needs a rest, someplace in the country where it’s nice and quiet and he can feed the birds through the bars on his window. If he doesn’t get a rest, he’s likely to go all Kurtz and Heart of Darkness on us. But don’t be miffed, Karl’s going to take care of you. He’s sending you a couple of Chick-Fil-A coupons, good for 25% off the cost of a grilled chicken breast sandwich, AND two free sodas (your choice of soda, man!).
Paco, I appreciate your seemingly genuine sentiments of support mon confrere. But Dark Master 1st Class McEnroe has been very very very very mean to me lately. I mean much more mean than the mean he’s usually means, uh, that’s what I mean. “Wash that Humvee” ... “Wax that helicopter” ... “You missed a spot you novice slime!” But Paco, I didn’t, I didn’t miss any spot at all.
I sort of thought he wasn’t getting any, you know, company with an attractive person of the opposite sex. But he doesn’t seem to lack any attention in that area. (By the way, Lt. Ellis looks exactly like that. She walks around the moon base in fish net stockings. I, and about another 20 henchmen and an unknown number of minions—no one counts them, do they count?—follow her around with clipboards, acting like we’re inspecting the machinery and fixtures. Oh what I wouldn’t give for five minutes on the auxiliary bridge with her).
Of course, once I ascend to full member status, I expect my black jack boots will act as an aphrodisiac, just like it must for McEnroe. It’s not like he gets the dames with his looks, physique, or (chuckles) personality. I just know those jack boots work for me. Do they come in any color besides black? Black is so bland on me.
Oh yes, we were talking about McEnroe. There’s something up with him. I think maybe he’s getting jealous of Iowahawk (curls fingers in a wriggly motion) and the job Karl gave him of ridiculing the asinine standard bearers of the leftwing. Of course, I’m not sure why McEnroe would be jealous of Iowahawk. (more curling fingers) I would think he’d be jealous of me and my inate talents with electronic, uh, technical gizmo thingys. Like time machines and stuff.
Do you think he might be jealous of me?
Posted by wronwright on 2005 12 23 at 10:45 PM • permalinkOh, definitely, Wronwright, definitely, there’s no question that McEnroe is jealous of you [signals for beefy man with net, stage right]. We’ll deal with that later; meanwhile, look at what I have here . . . watch the watch . . . watch the watch . . . you are getting sleepy . . . sleepy. Ok, Hubert, bag ‘im. [Sigh]. If only the people knew what these agents suffer for their country’s sake.

It somehow seems very unfair to expect the Ant to get every little detail such as the facts correct, shouldn’t we instead focus on the “story” ?
After all, surely he means well!
