IT USED TO BE RAINFOREST

Bill Katovsky identifies a new version of the famous harsh Afghan winter:

With the Iraqi parliament jetting off to Dubai for R&R while brave young US soldiers patrol lethal swaths of the country in sweltering global-warming desert ...

  1. Yup, those deserts wre like being in an airconditioned poolhouse with a margharita machine before Gore*.

    *I’ve come up with a new year identifier, based on the obvious fact that the end of the world is nigh, and this should be the point of the launch of a new utopia of zero emissions, streams running with unsweetened wheatgrass juice, tofu trees as far as the eye can see and all this under the benevolent rule of the last and wisest prophet, Al. Pol Pot was out by a couple of decades, but what do you expect from a bloody schoolteacher?

  2. Mr. Tim, why do you hate us? It is unkind to trick us into getting nasty cookies from such icky sites.

  3. Why did Daniel Pearl have to go, leaving us with Bill Katovsky?

  4. Simple.
    Brave young U.S. soldiers patrolling lethal swathes of Iraq is haram.
    Iraqi parliament jetting off to Dubai for R&R is halal.

    Clear, kaffir?

  5. Remember how cool and comfortable deserts used to be before global warming?

    Katovsky,you stupid bastard, our entire Congress does the same fucking thing. OH and before we (the coalition intervened) the only “Parliament” the Iraqi’s had, were black market ciggies.

    Huffpo, you must get a new set of dummies. Well, actually it is the ventriloquist that pulls the strings, huh?

    Oh, come on! That can’t possibly be real. Nobody can be that far beyond parody.

  8. Yesterday for lunch I had a leftover half of a ham & cheese sub that was all global-warming soggy. Then I watched some Dead Like Me that I had TiVO’d. Good show, but it got global-warming cancelled. Later, I tried to have a nice sit-down, but I was global-warming constipated. The last straw was at bedtime, when I tried to get me some but my wife said, “Not tonight, I have a global-warming headache.”

    Global warming ruins everything. Science damn you, stupid carbon!

  9. I know how this feels - I locked up my shed with a heavy duty padlock and now I’ve global warming lost the keys.

  10. Memo to Paco and Tim B

    Please Note MV do read this as yesterday I did a blog on sexy Islamic Rage Boy Tim Blair and noted blogg 93’s avartar, it’s been changed to A pic of Dr Detonate and prior to this was a covered Terrorists face that obviously had been exposed to the harsh Afghan climate conditions.

    null

    A true Islamic Reuters post indeedy.

    The accusation by the dailytelegraph editor David Penberthy Are False

    WE DONT HAVE NO PRO SUICIDE BOMBERS members In here

    and david Penberthy show Your Face Please


    Tim B, Hate mongering blogger joins the Terror Graph?

    Funny how the collective is changes the game posts to suit their own agendas.

     

    While I’m at it MEDIA Watch you really need to… or it could be nice to notify the public your website has a manipulated and digitaly altered image on your website. It is implying this is a REAL image taken for your website/. It implies they agreed to have this photograph altered in this context. DID THEY?


    What are the implications of using this image considering this is what YOUR program is all about…. You are not a media monitor?


    YOU"RE doing the same thing..

    1. Are you wanting the audience to tip off Koshe and the joe and kevni?

    2. Have you paid these men for this form of advertising for media watch? Is it an advertorial for your organisation then?

    So please put under the image it’s manipulated for this purpose… thnks

  13. So it’s a new revelation that deserts are both hot in Summer and cold in Winter?

    Tossers like Katovsky have obviously never read books like ‘Brazen Chariots’ or ‘The Desert Column’.

    How do people get paid for writing this crap?

    Posted by Apparatchik on 2007 07 19 at 03:09 AM • permalink

  14. Those same deserts are probably
    freezing at night.

    All due to climate change.

    When I was a lad deserts
    were bountiful places
    full of trees and delicious
    fresh spring water.

    Hopefully, before long
    these GW’ers will
    commit mass suicide
    convinced of the coming
    apocalypse.

    They can save the Earth and
    my sanity.

    Ps. It’s still beautiful
    one day,frozen the next in
    the new ice age Queensland.

  15. Harsh Afghan Winter?

    LUXURY!!!

    Sydney’s much more cold. Why just today, I was walking through Sydney and it was so cold….

    [Audience Member]: How cold?

    It was so cold, I saw a dog with one leg in the air, frozen to a telegraph pole.

  18. IT USED TO BE RAINFOREST

    That would be back in the Garden of Eden, ( I think my geography is accurate ) back when Eve sided with Devil and tempted Adam. Not long after that Cain murdered his brother Abel.

    That pretty much sums up the Middle East - they are just a pack of superstitious, misogynistic murderers.

    Nothing has changed.

  19. SHIT..My old boss is flying me out into the vast Australian Desert to run some tours because there is a overload of Backpackers wanting to see the at the moment HARSH OZ DESERT WINTER soon to be replaced by GLOBAL WARMING DESERT SUMMER….Why did i say yes…....NOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!

  20. Bill should learn to speak english. Sweltering means oppressive humidity, and deserts aren’t humid.

  21. So global warming strated getting bad 8 or 9 thousand years ago, or so?  No wonder they’re in such a panic; we are a day late and a dollar short of fixing this thing. There’s nothing I hate more than starting a short-suspense project that’s already 10,000 years behind schedule. It tends to upset my stomach. Which only compounds the CO2 problem.
    Oye, I need an alka-seltzer.

  24. Hey, Texas Bob:

    If you can find it, try Alka-Seltzer Morning Relief.  It’s Alka-Seltzer plus a whopping shot of caffeine. 

    In other news, my son is currently in Canberra at the Sports Institute.  He claims it was so cold yesterday that he saw a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets.

  25. With a high albedo and located where there is very strong direct sunlight, deserts are actually global coldening.

    It causes concerns about the impact of solar power on warming, though it’s believed that there will never be enough solar power to cover an area large enough to make a measurable impact on global temperatures.

  26. #24 Thanks for the tip SSG Pooh, sounds like the perfect thing for that “rumbly in the tumbly.” I just ordered a box ($5.95) and I’ll let you know how it works after this weekend.

  27. The article seems to be the usual harmless moonbatty fantasy, but “global warming desert”? Hey Bill, that’s just stupid. 7th paragraph, tying up government to keep them out of our lives. Pretty conservative view there. Are you going to have that same view if the Clintons come back?

  28. #10 1.618: I am still having a high old time browsing through the comments at MV. Here’s a devastating bit of rapier-like wit: “Apparently, we’re newsworthy. These guys (i.e., Tim Blair et al) are so obtuse that c’mon, you can’t do anything but laugh at their attempts to appease their rather low-brow audience. They know this is a harmless forum but they’re just trying to whip up some hysteria to sensationalise another story for their right-wing groupies.”

    The cure for chronic low brow is to wear your fedora with the brim pulled sharply down in front. Incidentally, how are you other groupies making out? I bought one of Tim’s pirate shirts on ebay and plan to give it to 1.618 for her birthday. I also snagged one of Tim’s old bathrobes - the black one with the Maltese cross insignia of the Sovereign Order of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem.

  29. Support for an impeachment surge is the reverse of a troop surge.

    Sounds like a call for surrender to me.

    And since when did “global warming” become a substitute for the plain Old English word “hot”?  It’s like this guy is pushing a political agenda or something.

  30. Sweltering means oppressive humidity, and deserts aren’t humid.

    Especially the deserts in and around Iraq.  I think the humidity averages less than 5%.

  32. Of course it’s hot over in Iraq. The days of myriad kites obscuring the blazing noonday sun are over thanks to Shrubby McPretzelchoker. Shrubby hates kites and the Iraqi children who fly them for shade.

  33. Ew, but I hate going over to Huff’n'Puff. I always feel like I need a shower afterwards. Yuck.

    Have to say, though, that the impeachment fervor amuses me all to hell. Congressional Dems know there are no grounds for impeachment but keep tossing out red meat to placate the packs of ravenous, slavering hounds known as their base. The “Boxer Rebellion”, indeed. That brainless, vapid broad is the perfect face to put on this stupidity. Pissant idiots.

    Remember how cool and comfortable deserts used to be before global warming?

    Absolutely. As Mark Twain put it, “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in the Mojave Desert.”

    In other news, Ralph Peters has a barn-burner in the NY Post today and a judge just threw out the Wilson/Plame civil law suit against the administration. Hahahahaha.

  34. Afghanistan used to be forest and brush before Alexander the great and his people showed up. Them and all their damned funeral pyres after every glorious triumph.

    What? You thought we started producing excess CO2 recently?
