PATTERN OBSERVED
First the freezing marched against warming:
Tens of thousands of people ignored frigid temperatures Saturday to lead a worldwide day of protest against global warming.
Then the tolerant shouted down the intolerant:
Conservative columnist Ann Coulter gave up trying to finish a speech at the University of Connecticut on Wednesday night when boos and jeers from the audience became overwhelming ... They criticized her for spreading a message of hate and intolerance.
And now a would-be power saviour has been brought down by a power outage:
Widespread power outages struck Zimbabwe on Tuesday, blacking out much of President Robert Mugabe’s state of the nation address in which he promised to address the country’s chronic electricity shortages.
All of this means something, probably.
The anti-Coulter group was called (cough) Students Against Hate. It’s shit like this that makes it hell for satirists

SexkittenDavid Horowitz told me years ago that this was all part of the left’s longstanding protocols at speeches by opponents. Shout them down. The same thuggery capitalised on by Lenin and passed down generation by generation to the current ignorant mob. David expected it to turn against him when he had his Second Thoughts. He was right.
And so is RebeccaH. It is the End Times.
There’s a pattern, alright. It’s called Leftists keeping each other stupid.
You Australians have no idea how funny a Global Warming conference in Montreal is. The icy wind is unbearable. It is extremely difficult to look stylish at 30 below (F or C, your choice.) So even the Liberals wear fur coats.
Aussie to Yank glossary needed. Swampy = ?
Tim and HelenW,
Am I missing something here? Are you saying that just because there is still cold weather found here on earth there can not possibly be global warming?
Isn’t that as stupid and as peurile as the doomsayers who point to every hot day as proof of the phenomenon?
Or are you just trying to mimic them?
I don’t think that someone who calls him or herself “wombat ass” has a very sensitive irony meter. Then again, maybe that name is evidence of a deeper and more subtle sense of humor than we Right Wing Death Beasts are capable of appreciating. But I wouldn’t bet on it.
Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2005 12 08 at 07:55 PM • permalinkThe treatment of Ann Coulter is a clear example of a case where torture is justified, not only as a condign punishment but also to extract the names of the ring-leaders. The shouters? Cut their tongues out. The pie throwers? Lop off their right hand. You don’t see this sort of rabble in countries with good governments.
Please Andrea, let us welcome all Margolian castaways. I’d be in a mood too if Tim went on a This-is-the-End dummy spit.
TY, Dave. Your answer bests mine. Being right is the perfect antidote for being shallow.
Wombatas, I don’t ever pretend to be a Lefty. For years I battled them in earnest. It got me nothing. So I declared victory, and just laugh at them now. That’s why I enjoy this blog. Tim and I are kindred spirits in mirth.

Let me translate from Moonbat:
“Leftists shout down and throw things at people whom they don’t agree with rather than allow them to speak. Therefore, right-wingers are fascists.”
Perfectly logical.
That’s a mighty fine example of a Left-Wing Shrieking Non-Sequitur Misdirection Snark that Rider gave us right there. Textbook, really. I’m going to try one:
“Michael Moore owns stock in Halliburton and Noam Chomsky has a $2,000,000 trust fund. That’s why we have to imprison homosexuals and keep women in the kitchen. That’s how Jesus wants it.”
TCS has an excellent article about the Greenpeace’s S.O.S. (Sod-Off Swampy!) incident, complete with specifics regarding the etymology of “swampy.” Now if someone could explain what a “barrow boy spiv” is . . .
February 16, 2005: Greenpeace storms London oil market, decisively repulsed by Cockney barrow boy spivs.
What a great day that was; I propose memorializing it. Can anyone think of a catchy title for this anniversary?
Dave S — Maybe Rider is from that rightwing parody site none of us can open…

Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 12 09 at 02:06 AM • permalinkOK, I just got through explaining to someone on another thread about Irony. It means the art of taking wrinkles out of shirts and slacks, or the results of that activity, as in, “See how nice and smooth this shirt is? Good irony.” Or, “How good is your irony? Can you do crepe?” There is another meaning, less often seen, which has to do with making things out of base ores. I don’t know why that is so difficult for some people to understand.
And this is who they were hooting: No Wonder!
Posted by Geoffrey MG on 2005 12 09 at 04:46 AM • permalinkI read the name as Wombat as. As in, I’m as wombat as you are.
I don’t know why someone would want to be known as a wombat (eats roots and leaves), but I guess somebody wanted that name.And now they’re here!

Whereas you, on the otherhandpaw, are trying to do what? Bring enlightenment, joy, your own slant on humour - or just trying on some comments in the hope that you will be recognised as a towering intellect? I have to break it to you that this approach has been tried ad nauseum by many before you and the result is always that you and your reputation are really going nowhere.Holy crap, Akbar is back. And just like last time, he put his work email address in his profile. Wonder how long it’ll be until that’s changed to a Hotmail address (again), how that I’ve mentioned it (again)...
I still never have figured out if “Akbar” is supposed to be some kind of underground satire act, btw. Could you enlighten me, Mike? It would be much easier to play off of you if we were in on the joke, and all that…
It crossed my mind, Dave, ekw, but I thought I should probably be a bit polite, like.
Surely we’re all growed up enough to see the line.
Posted by Nilknarf Arbed on 2005 12 09 at 05:56 PM • permalinkActually, in my high school days in Los Angeles, we used to call our ermm, heh, instrument, our “root.” But we didn’t use it as a verb. So I can see how it could be verbized (ooh, that’s a bad word, doesn’t even exist. How’s ‘enverbulated’ sound? Yeah. Anyone know what the word describing the taking of a noun and turning it into a verb is?), especially by Australians who have a brilliant ability to coin words and phrases that just make great sense. At least they do once you get the whole Oz thing. Which you really have to go down there to do.
Yeah - enverbulated sounds good. There was once a left movement to discredit police evidence which centred around the phrase “police verbal”. This was supposed to devalue the evidence given by police if it was just a “record of interview”.
It became a standard low-life complaint to say that you had been “verballed”.
These days with video evidence it is harder to deny that you are a worthless, lying scumbag (if in fact you are, and have been video’d in character)Indeed,ekw. I’ll keep the details to myself, though.
