FREQUENT LIAR MILES

The Socialist International sets out to “advance the body’s work on the global environmental agenda” by flying a whole bunch of deeply concerned bores to Chile, Sweden, India, New York, China, South Africa, Washington D.C. and Russia. Before the Chilean jaunt, however, there is another crucial stopover:

As part of the Commission’s programme of activities and in line with its remit, in the days immediately prior to this meeting, members will go to Antarctica.

  1. “Taking action on this first borderless, truly global crisis: Securing a multilateral system able to respond”

    I think that describes World War II.

    Anything that happened before the 1960s is too ancient to be of any consequence.

  3. “Liar” is, I believe, too mild a word.  If you could combine “lying”, “cheating”, “conscienceless” and “con artist” into a single word, you might cover it. 

    Wait.  I have it.

    “Communist”.

  8. Chasing more theories in a world (the world is bigger than the eastern seaboard of Australia) presently getting colder, to counter the mounting chorus from among international climate scientists who now openly state that it appears that earth is entering a cooling period, not a warming period ... The climate change debate is undergoing a subtle change and it worries them. They can’t be trusted, these “deeply concerned bores”, send a spy team, those backpacks may contain blow torches and gas tanks…

  10. Just slightly O/T, but I think it illuminates the chasm between socialism and humanity. The banner reads:

    PROGRESSIVE POLITICS for a fairer world

    Who, exactly, is the arbiter of fairness. I personally think it is fair that an industrious person gets more good stuff than a lazy person.

    Just how does one become a Platonic Philosopher King? Where does one apply for the job? What is the ideal CV?

  11. Contrail, I think you have it. The Philosopher Kings UN flunkies,  itinerant Greenies and camp following do-gooders will have the airports and flights all to themselves.

    Indeed abiding by the aims of The Socialist International are part of the ALP constitution. Why haven’t the media been onto this??

  18. #6 Well spotted celaeno. Thanks for the link.
    The vast conspiracy is alive and well. Data which is contrary to GW orthodoxy wil be expunged, ignored, excoriated. Sections of our major media are so close to monoculture that it is scarily Orwellian. Tony Jones and the ABC’s treatment of “The Great Global Warming Swindle” was disgusting.
    Michael Duffy’s Counterpoint on ABC RN was introduced as a token conservative soapbox. It is an excellent program but is coralled in low-rating timeslots.

    The lamb turned out great!! A few photos for you.  The first shows the boys on their way to Church.  The next photo shows the lamb ready for the grill, the beer in the background is Lumber Lager Red, from the Fletcher Street brewery in Alpena Michigan (nummy, nummy)  This last photo is the lamb already finished.  The beer in the background is a well poured Black and Tan…..the pouring has since gotten worse…...

  25. #22 - OT, I did try and post a comment about making a coating of rosemary, garlic, pinenuts and seeded mustard, but the sock eating engine got it and it never appeared.

    Rack of lamb - excellent choice. 

    Did you ever try cooking anything in the exhaust pipe of your tank?  I’ve heard of farmers doing roast lamb by wrapping it in tin foil and popping it down the exhaust of the tractor.

  26. #24 - There are no polar bears in Antarctica because they all drowned when George W Bush & John W Howard melted the South Pole. Sheesh, don’t you people know anything?

    Hang on I’ve got a couple of cloves of garlic here of Pogs’... ginormous garlic.

    Fresh garlic and rosemary with lamb. Just yum.
    How was the wine?

    I’m with you Ubique. Everyone knows that it’s all GWB/GWH’s fault. You just get that by osmosis now. I’m surprised that not everyone knows it.

  31. Make them stay in Antarctica unless they promise to leave only by JATO take-off, thereby doing maximum damage to the ice…

  32. #8 Spot on buddy; all the evidence is there that things are going to get colder; solar cycle 24 is a dud; funny how we haven’t heard anything about that on the msm. In 2 years time those polar bears won’t be dead from AGW, they’ll have made the ultimate sacrifice so some hollywood types can be warm in their new polar bear skins and Old Tanker can show some more photos of baked polar bear haunch.

    kae,

    from last thread, wine = good price here (and taste) lamb = expensive (still good taste)  I tried smoking the lamb, very harsh and papers didn’t fit!!! (finished with a little hickory)

    daddy dave,

    mmmmmm indeed, finishing a black and tan now!!

    mr creosote,

    many meals were cooked on the exhaust plate of our tanks.  The exhaust plates were designed to break up heat to hide us from missiles…..but made for great cooking surfaces….........

  35. In the meantime, global warming this week hit the Czech Republic.

    Meteorologists have warned of the risk of snowdrifts in some parts of the country on Sunday evening. The areas set to be most affected by the snow are Central and Northern Moravia. As much as 30 centimeters of snow are forecast for Sunday evening, with more to follow on Monday.  Meteorologists have warned motorists to drive with extreme caution in the affected areas, and to not even consider traveling without winter tyres fitted to their vehicles.                       

    A handful of the country’s hardiest individuals celebrated Easter Sunday with a dip in the Vltava River. Members of the Czech Polar Bear Club took the plunge at Prague’s artificial beach in the Smichov  
    district of the city. The Vltava was colder than usual for this time of year on Sunday, the water temperature recorded was between 2 and 3 degrees Celsius.

  36. Someone call P J O’Rourke, maybe he can get a seat on that junket.

    Back in the day, he wrote a priceless piece about an American Leftard cruise down the Volga. There’s bound to at least as much great material available from this crew.

    O’Rourke also did a piece on eco-tourism (reprinted in All the Trouble in the World) that was pure genius. He would be perfect to cover this nonsense.

    #28 kae
    From the pic, the lamb has the reddish/pinkish hue of the smoke from the standard Weber ‘heat beads’.
    Sweet meats such as lamb and pork lend themselves to sweet finishing glazing and with the mild smoke flavour of the Weber c’est magnifique.
