  1. Maybe if she’d said “I want to kill Robert Mugabe” it would have made more sense, her being a peace laureate and all…

  3. I would like to rough her up some. Maybe smack her upside the head ‘til she laspsed into unconsciousness, revive her and then start really going to town on the extremities with a blowtorch and some pliers. Then I’d probably ask her to suck my nuts, real nice ‘n slow like.

  11. The Nobel Peace prizes are soooooooo prestigious and seem always to be awarded to deserved entities. Only denialists would argue. Can anyone name one person who seems like a dubious Nobel peace Prize awardee? I doubt it !!!

    I put the Nobel peace prize on a similar plateau with the high point of my
    ” catwalk career” -  winning 2nd prize in “Miss Ulladulla High” (1974) which as an ugly male was some sort of achievement!

    The cream always rises to the top. eg. The actress of our time - I write of Lisa McCune of course = 5 Gold Logies. “An Inconvenient Truth” is Oscar nominated. 

    Makes ya proud doncha reckon ???

  13. It never fails to ammuse me how so many “peace” activists can go to rallies and get violent. How so many “greenies” who claim would never hurt a fly, would enagage in violence against humans. How so many anti G-8 folk, who claim to care for humanity can get so violent in protest.

    If one is peaceful, then one isn’t selectively peaceful. One remains peaceful to all, otherwise one is not peaceful. I often wonder where their motivation is coming from. If was from a place of peace, then they would protest peacefully. Must be from someowhere else…. So I find it interesting again, how someone who is a peace activist and recieves a prize for it, can engage in violent rhetoric….

    That does sound like she might be drunk.

    Well Betty, thats easy.  You see, some guy in a control room back at the base presses a button which launches the hellfire missile from the predator drone.  The hellfire missile blows the Al Qaeda genocidalist into a million little bits whilst the controller goes and gets a coffee.  See, non violent, all he did was press a button!  Good luck doing that to Chimpy McHitlerburton though, you filthy hippy.

    Am not sure of the process over there, but it may be worthwhile making a complaint to the Feds and drawing their attention to the section of the code you linked.

  38. OT our buddy irfan yusuf is castigating one tim blair in crikey for using a press release as the basis for an opinion piece. last time i checked, people put out press releases so they would get a run in the media.  but perhaps under the caliphate press releases are not to be quoted on pain of fatwa… apologies for the long quote - i will be going to hell shortly for sure

    Daily Tele’s use of jihadist sources…hot off the press release
    Irfan Yusuf writes:

    Yesterday’s Daily Telegraph included an opinion piece titled “Hizb ut-Tahrir wants a Caliph”, supposedly written—and seemingly submitted to the Tele—by media spokesman for the Australian branch of Hizb ut-Tahrir, Wassim Doureihi.

    In fact, Doureihi confirmed to Crikey yesterday afternoon that neither he nor anyone else from his organisation submitted anything to the Tele.

    So where did the Tele’s Opinion Editor Tim Blair source this article? Well…Doureihi sees the article as surprisingly similar in content to a recent Hizb ut-Tahrir press release placed on their website.

    If The Australian thinks Media Watch is suspect for dealing with alleged jihadists, the Tele must be equally as suspect for reproducing articles by Islamists. But more fundamental than this, what on earth was Tim Blair thinking when he decided to reprint (and almost plagiarise) a press release as an article without seeking the author’s permission?

    I’ve had op-eds published in over 16 newspapers in Australia and New Zealand. I’ve never seen or heard of a paper editing and reprinting my stuff without my permission. In fact, most opinion editors ask me to approve the final version before it goes to print. Certainly Blair’s predecessor showed the same basic professional courtesy.

  39. How about this website I found by searching for “Betty Williams” “Saddam Hussein”:

    Link

    Some quotes therefrom:

    “Marco Pannella, a member of the European Parliament and leader of the Nonviolent Radical Party, has begun a thirst and hunger strike to avert the execution of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who has been recently sentenced to death.”

    “On August 12, 2006, as reported by news agencies, Marco Pannella made a bold new proposal for World Peace, composed of three elements:
    ...
    [3] “Hands off Saddam” for the commutation of the death penalty against Saddam Hussein to 30 years in prison”

    “The appeal “Hands off Saddam” has been signed by 146 Italian MPS and by personalities such as:

    ...Betty Williams..Nobel Peace Prize winner”

    So, no, she did not want to kill him, she wanted to save him.  By the way, how offensive is the term “Hands off Saddam”, even if you are against the death penalty or were against his execution in particular.

    Also, here are Mr. Pannella’s other two points in his program for world peace:

    [1] Accession of Israel to the European Union

    [2] A World-Wide Satyagraha for Peace, including co-ordinated hunger strikes around the world

    Is the Satyagraha that thing that was melting from global warming?  :)

    The ABC in particular relentlessly promotes White and never subjects his misleading and self-serving analysis to any scrutiny (which is the way the ABC likes policy discussions). Australians are therefore very poorly served by their national broadcaster in trying to understand vitally important strategic policy. But make no mistake, this Defence Update is the culmination of a gradual but profound revolution.

    RE: Plowing Austin under

    Think of it as a moonbat game preserve. They get to run around w/ their moonbattery, we get UT Football and great music. Turns out if you give queers and commies cheap drugs and a place to play their guitar they are usually quite harmless. And useless, but they’d be useless anyhow.

    Jesus Christ, now you’ve gone and got me started. I’m living here in a little town that wants to be Austin but lacks the culture. Actually it lacks all culture except on about six saturdays in the fall. So yeah, all we’ve got is annoying anti-growth hippies who crap themselves every time a new strip mall goes up. And no establishments dedicated to helping young women get through college AND buy fake boobs at the same time. Shit. On the plus side, in 3 years I can move back to Austin and bitch about how they’ve ruined it in my absence.

  92. #91 It is the right of all humans to eat Vegemite from the jar with a spoon. It is truly delightful, 185600, and all humans from all countries should try it.

    Marmite however… it’s just not worthy.

  93. Ash,

    The perfect breakfast is vegemite on toast, topped with soft-boiled egg and tabasco sauce. If tabasco isn’t handy, chopped red chillies in a mix of lemon juice and fish sauce.

  95. Oh Maree, it’s been so long since I’ve had that… but that’s mostly because I can’t eat egg and I don’t eat breakfast.

    But vegemite on toast was delivered by some higher power than me. I only wish that I’d come up with something like that.

    Tallahassee town, does have its share. Just like any Uni or College town, filled with leftist elitists who down the very system that got them their material wealth, as long as they checked their brains at the door. AND, they did.

    Been to Austin once, way back in the 70’s. Went to visit a friend that managed the bar at a fine eatery call Jorge’s (probably not in existence, now).

    My first stop was a Mexican cafeteria, all you could eat plus Coors (first time I had seen one) for a buck and a half a bottle…sooo I was on my way to shitfacedom, by the time I found, Jorge’s.

    Then this young lass said “how about a margarita or two”. “Great idea”, I says.

    The second one put my jaw on the bar, soo she says…“why don’t you go to my place and rest”...I said “your place, shit I don’t even know where the hell I am now” (a few Coors and two Margie’s).

    After she arrived home, everything was fine…actually, excellent.

You have a dictatorship.’”

    Everywhere you look, humble heroes, spraining their larynxes in public view with their widely-published anti-administration slogans, laboring in broad daylight to bring down the Bushreich, all the time dwelling in concentration camps that exist nowhere but in their own minds.

  133. Betty Williams—peace slut. From the Wikipedia entry (my bold):

    The dramatic display of support for peace that the two women had organized led to their joint receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977 (the prize for 1976).

    So there you have it. All that’s required to win the non plus ultra in peace prizes is a “dramatic display of support for peace”. Shouldn’t be too tough. Of course, an abiding hatred for all things American and, now, George W. Bush in particular helps tremendously.

    Yes! Less warlike than a roomful of drunk Kennedy’s, more sanctimonious than a hologram of Al Gore in his Sunday go-to-meetin’ clothes, Dove Boy fights for peace, tranquility and . . . er . . . non-war-ness. Disguised as a mild-mannered federal government employee, in times of danger, he becomes the even MORE mild-mannered Dove Boy! Gliding over scenes of animosity, rancor and hostility with an olive branch in his mouth, Dove Boy serves as a feathered symbol of peace.

    “Say, mister? HEY!! You! Mr. Narrator?

    What?

    Is that really Dove Boy up there, circling the Capitol Dome?

    Why yes, man in the street, it certainly is.

    Well, he seems to be having a little trouble.

    Oh no! Is it the Bushwaffe, flying low to strafe him?

    Nah, it looks like a couple of red-tailed hawks. One of them just sunk his talons into Dove Boy’s butt. See? Dove Boy’s beating him over the head with his olive branch. Now, see the other one? He just clawed a hole in Dove Boy’s glider. Whoa! Talk about losing altitude! Does Dove Boy have any super powers? I mean, besides falling through the air like an anvil?

    In “An Infinity of Mirrors” Paule is telling her husband Willi (a Colonel in the Wehrmacht) about meeting Frau Goebbels at a party.

    “I told her I was a Jew,” Paule said.

    “Ach.”

    “You should have seen her face.”

    “No thanks, I saw it in 1930.”

    As for Betty, she excused herself by saying that she got so mad about all the atrocities going on in the world.  She’s mad about the atrocities so she wants to kill the one political leader in the world, Bush, who is actually doing something to stop the atrocities and destroy the groups committing them.  Now that’s real logical reasoning, that is!  What do these clowns use for brains, snail slime?
