Just as well Bolty is back, because I’m out of here until mid-August.
(Not entirely; there’ll be occasional posts meantime, and the column never sleeps.)
(Admin note, July 31, 2007: sorry folks, forgot I had set comments to close after five days. Since you all (well, most of you all) seemed to be having such fun, I’ve extended the comment expiration to ten days. Andrea Harris, Administrator.)
OK, here it is again. From Ask-Imam.com: I want to marry someone. But she doesn’t like me. What should I do ?

What does the Islam say regarding intercourse with slave girls? In my opinion Zina or sex with any women is forbidden in Islam
A man may have intimate relations with his wife or slave girl. This applies
no matter how many slave girls one may possess. He may not have intimate
relations with his servant. A slave is one whom one physically owns. Since
slavery is not in vogue nowadays, this does not apply today.Refer attached, ‘Slavery’

‘I wanted to kill him but he was old’
A TRUCK driver accused of repeatedly punching an 87-year-old returned serviceman 54 years his senior in a road rage incident told police he was going to kill the victim until he saw how old he was, a court was told yesterday.
Martin Bruce Gamman, 33, a New Zealander who lives in Campbelltown, allegedly told police: “I was going to f---ing kill him but when I realised he was an old prick I gave him a couple and then I left.”
...
In granting bail, magistrate Kevin Maughan said Gamman had no criminal record and by not granting bail he would be making a judgment about the case, which was not the purpose of a bail hearing.
Am I missing some fine legal principle, did the reporter make an error, or is the magistrate an utter twat?

Truckdriver should be in gaol.No excuse for violence. Ever.
Some time ago in Ipswich a man assaulted a woman in a shopping centre carpark.
He was reversing his car out of his parking place and nearly hit or did bump a woman pushing a shopping trolley.
She called him an idiot.
He got out of the car and punched her in the face.
The woman was mildly disabled and was using the trolley to help her walk, too hard to walk with trolley and walking stick.
His defence lawyer said, in mitigation, that he would not have hit her if he had known that she was disabled.
I wrote to the local rag expressing my disgust at this attitude.
“So, it’s all right to hit someone as long as they aren’t disabled?”
About Jack from Montreal - everybody has off days. I think he should continue commenting here, if he wants to. (Andrea - just my opinion. I don’t want to challenge your Ladyship’s authority.)

Posted by carpefraise on 2007 07 29 at 03:37 AM • permalinkIt was somewhere up the country in a place of froth and steam,
That they formed an institution called the Anti-American Meme .
They were long and wiry veterans of ancient culture wars,
And no point of view was ever heard that wasn’t dedicated to the cause.
So their style of discussing issues was predictable and rash -
They had no need of facts at all, it was just a Yankee bash:
And they all frothed and steamed and yelled “Curse that bastard Bush”
“By far the worst President, since they gave that last bastard the push.”
And they nodded all together at the links from Info Clearing House
“They are the root cause of terrorism and Cheney is boss louse”It was somewhere up the country, in this place so earnest
That the Meme’s vision splendid burst, it is rumoured they were piss’t.
As a social institution they thought they were on a roll
For the members were distinguished by having read Chomsky and Juan Cole.
They had natty little theories about most things beneath the sun.
“Starving kids in Palestine? It’s just the Jews havin’ fun.”.
“Press and politics perverted? It’s because the Zionists are running the game.”
“I thought you said it was the Yanks?” you ask “Isn’t this claim quite lame?”
“Ah, but it’s the Jews who control Washington” they say, “and Washington runs the Jews.”Readers may see now the Meme are experts at doublethink ,
Any mental contradiction they can pull off without a blink,
“Lift those bloody sanctions!” they cried. “Iraqi kids are dying!”
“Saddam’s running short of gas and Kurdish kids are mutiplying”.
And when they hear the Madman shout, it’s like did he say “Burn all of Israel!”?
“A mistranslation” they will scoff. We heard “Learn from Israel!”
“Give the man nuclear power. He too will soon be short of gas”.
And so this ancient institution - the losers of the cold war,
Will prattle on and stagger until the final roar-
The cowards and closet Stalinists force a nuclear war.Apologies to “Banjo”

Kae, it looks like it’s too late for carpefraise..
The last hideous stages of the autodrinkingfrenzy start when one is convinced one is teetotal.The minions will have to clean up again, I guess, although each one is different. Remember Paco’s?

#89 Blogstrop, thanks for posting that. BTW, the soldier he is talking about who got killed near the train station was shot in the head while leaning against a tree and drinking a coca-cola. I like the way this guys writes or perhaps it just painted such a clear image that my memory kicked into high gear. It’s intersting how different one guy’s perspective is compared to another’s though. It was peaceful back then, but I know I would never describe Baghdad as a city I loved. It is surreal in my memory. But not loved.
Wow, I go away to the beach, come back and there’s a 1000 comment open thread?

(*) Song from act 2 of Kismet.Senator Schumer (D) thinks the US Supreme Court is dangerously out of balance (er ... 5-4 against the moonbats?) due to bushchimpler presidential appointments!

While there is something comical in the vision of Kroger, his bosom and only pal Peter Costello, and the glove puppets staging a coup de tat against the Prime Minister, it is black amusement.
When I wrote on Kroger’s imposition of puppets, including his retarded ex wife, as candidates in safe Federal Liberal seats, I warned Kroger will do to the Federal Liberal Party, what he’s done to the Victorian Division, completely wreck it. Between Costello, Turnbull, and Kroger, Liberals should be very disturbed, for that lot of power hungry, cowards, whose instincts are authoritarian, will sink the Federal Liberal Party to the bottom of the political ocean, effortlessly.

I’m hoping the latest version of EE will be more compatible with everything. To tell you the truth I’m not so sure I’m thrilled with the program, but at the time I set this up it was the only blogging setup with a member-registration module. Troll- and spam-control needs trumped all others. Also if I changed blogging software you might all have to reregister, I might not get everything copied over to the new server right (the links to posts would all go belly-up, etc.)—the problem has been on my mind.

Don’t close the italics, everything after that is "1. nag nag nag"Having said that, I still lurk here, and have done for years, and Tim is my first morning read, and the commenters are my window on the world, and in the immortal words of pugilist extraordinaire, Jeff Fenech, “I love youse all”

The Communist Broadcasting Corporation has a program on Sundays at 6 pm which often contains items from elsewhere. Today, they had an item by an Australian But Communist announcer, you can hear it here.
She says that global warming is causing an increase in the suicide rate amongst farmers and that Australian Prime Minister John Howard, a notorious global warming skeptic, said two months ago that if the drought didn’t end in 6 weeks, then the irrigation system will have to be turned off. “That time has passed” she says - neglecting to mention that it appears to have pissed down with rain in the mean time.
This woman’s name is given in the CBC program. I suggest she, and her editors, be held account to the mythical “fairness” doctrine and also be reminded who pays their cheques.
