Back in Australia. Situation still ridiculous:
The man who once embraced radical Islam and Osama bin Laden now says he wants to help save
the environment, and identifies his new guru as Australian of the Year Tim Flannery …
Asked if he would be prepared to advise Hicks, Flannery told The Bulletin: “Of course I would – why wouldn’t you?
”People who’ve had a hard life often find nature
It’s good to be home. Regular posting rate to be resumed shortly.
Hicks is an idiot. So is Flannery.
I see a pattern.
I see where it, the link, came from. I have to go and hose out my letterbox.
Welcome back.
“The natural
world offers you some solace.”After a hard days jihading, I like nothing better than reclining

“People who’ve had a hard life often find nature
a more easy and forgiving place to engage,” Flannery says. “The natural world offers you some solace.” I thought, since we are killing Gaia, that she was trying to kill us back. My bad.
Welcome back. Don’t mind the mess. Paco’s Ace Cleaning Organization will be along to clean it up shortly
.
Maybe Hicks will blow himself (to protest Goreball Warmening, of course) and take Flummery with him. Or would that be too much to ask?

Welcome home, Tim! Hope you didn’t forget to bring back a DVD of Bingley singing hymns. Of course, you won’t be able to play it on your own DVD player because that got broken during the Vespa races we were having in your living room. But as soon as the new transformer is installed outside of your building, Skeeter is going to let you have a “loaner” so we can all watch
Bingley while we soak on a few cold ones on the dirt patch where your deck used to be.
It makes perfect sense. After all, Hicks wants to kill you, nature wants to kill you. They’re kindred spirits, really.

“People who’ve had a hard life often find nature a more easy and forgiving place to engage,” Flannery says.
Well, not always.
Welcome back to the Internets!
Re Flannery, there’s nothing in this Wiki to support my contention that noted 1970’s naturist Euell Gibbons built bombs for the Symbionese Liberation Army but the mental image is pleasing.
Hold the bloody phone. I thought poor lil’ Backpackin’ Dave wanted to join the “booming mining industry”???
I’m beginning to the think these Hicks may not be true to their word.

What an interesting alliance – greenies and Islamists. What will be next? Gays and Islamists? Oh, that’s right – that’s already occurred.
But Islamists don’t like trees and nature anyway so it seems that Dawood is getting himself more confused, as is his wont.

- Glad you’re back Tim.
In your absence things have gotten a little crazy.
Margo Kingston is posting some absolute gold over at Bolt’s blog. Doesn’t seem you can permalink to comments there so here is some of her latest work.Well done Joe of Geelong for being the lone dissenting voice of reason.
If there are still any doubters out there you don’t exactly have to wade volumes of scientific papers to conclusive evidence.
Watch Al Gore’s movie The Inconvenient Truth, there is all the hard evidence you need!
MargoK of Nerang
Tue 14 Aug 07 (03:24pm)Why didn’t I realise that I’d be open to snide attacks on this forum. Honestly I couldn’t give a stuff.
And regarding Al Gore’s documentary. Plenty of intellectual rigour has been applied to content of The Inconvenient Truth otherwise it could not be classified as a documentary. All of us don’t have to be experts in a field in order to comment, that’s why we have bodies like the IPCC to give us imformation we can trust.
From now on try holding onto your nasty comments and concentrate on the urgent issue we have before us. I’ve become perceptive enough about a thing or two so far in my career to see that this issue is for real. Andrew is one of only a small handful of australian journalists to take the crazy position of denying the existence of Global Warming.

Brrring brrring, brrring brrrring.
TF: 2007 Australian of the Year, good afternoon, who may this be?
MD: Mo Dawood here imperialist dog. Guess what? They let me out of prison, so I thought I might ring you for some advice about my career path.
TF: Oh yes, Mo, I’ve been expecting this call. So you want to be an environmentalist? For most people I charge $50,000 for this kind of advice, but for jihadists like you, it’s free.
MD: Sweet. Yeah, well my first choice was a job in the booming mining industry, but they started getting suspicious when I asked them about where they keep the TNT. Also, there were way too many qualifications required. So what kind of qualifications do I need to become an environmentalist?
TF: Qualifications? Ha, ha, ha! Good one Mo – you’re killin’ me…
MD: Go ahead infidel scum. Seriously, make my day.
TF: Good joke Mo. Now if you want to be an environmentalist, you need to go where the big bucks are – and we’re talking climate change activism! The best bit is you don’t even need proper qualifications – for example, I’m a palaeontologist.
MD: What about the babes with big tits.
TF: Yeah, I know what you’re talkin’ about Mo, and believe me it’s everywhere. At these conferences, there are dozens of young environmentally aware young things who are more than happy to do what they have to before the end of the world. I promise you that as a climate change activist, you will find yourself in an unimagined universe of poontang, or else my middle name is not Fridtjof.
MD: So what’s the catch?
TF: No catch really, Mo, though you can’t really be an environmentalist unless you live in the inner city. Oh, and you must be willing to exaggerate like a bitch and have a general disregard for humankind.
MD: No kidding. I am probably overqualified! When do I get my bazooka back?
TF: Give us a couple of years, my friend – just a couple more years.

Talk on TEN news that Bradley Murdoch may do a deal to be placed in a prison closer to his family. The deal is that he will tell where Peter Falconio’s body is.This would be great for the Falconio family.

You’re probably right, I just thought I could show him where the crocodiles like to breed, up close.
‘Cause you can never have enough experiences when it comes to the natural world, especially of the salt water crocodile variety.
Like the idea about the fire ants, but wouldn’t big bastard meat ants from out west be better?
Not that I have anything against little Mo, of course, I just want him to experience. 🙂
Ok, let’s just make it a combination, and throw some Funnelwebs and an upset Taipan into the mix as well.
And a camera. Definitely a camera.
May as well add Flummery to the mix too, although that might constitute cruelty to the insects, arachnids and snake?
Especially when he starts to talk to them. 🙂
The nurses keep yelling? Put the whiskey down, woman, it’s only been a day or two since the birth! 🙂
Congratulations mate, as I said in an earlier post, from one (half) Queensland Eyetie to the newest honourary member of the tribe, welcome Ember!

#55 Apparently I’m not supposed to poke her to wake her up, because she’s just so damn adorable.
As it happens, the bartender, during the course of proceedings, offered me a bottle of bourbon to dull the pain. It’s funny in hindsight.
Ember saw a bird yesterday. She was so fascinated. She’s just so bloody beautiful.

I am so envious – about the bourbon, of course. 🙂
I’m going back up north tomorrow for a training job, and I can’t wait to see my nephew (4 months) so I can wake him up and annoy his mother. When I got home last, mum actually videoed me playing with him when I wasn’t looking, and the voice over is all about ‘what a wonderful father he’d make’.Naturally babies are enthralling, I can’t wait to hold one of my own, although I would probably be scared I’d break them. 🙂Just remember, if Ember has a life like Flummery’s dad, or God forbid little Mo, she to will have a passion for speaking about things she has no expertise in, or trying to blow up people who don’t follow some crap religion.
Better she learns how to be a good Italian girl and just spoil the men in her life into an early grave, via good food, attention, nagging, love, nagging, etc. 🙂

I don’t know about the neutering, I prefer the ‘invitation’ to see what her dad does for a living, to include a nice little range practice. Once they realise that their hormones will never outrun a bullet (or a vengeful father for that matter), they should get the message.
Put it this way, they will be under no illusions as to where they stand in the scheme of things, if I ever have a daughter.
Somewhere under her thumb, if they are acceptable, or under my heel, if they aren’t.
Still think I’d make a great dad? 🙂
Of course, I forgot Hicksy (pity more people didn’t).
No, probably not a good shot, but hey, if you turn to Islam, he only has to hit you with his fists, or throw petrol on you.
That would be more his gig, you would think.
After all, he wasn’t a terrorist was he? Just a poor silly bugger who was looking for adventure.
Right.
I’ve got all the adventure he ever needs right here, and I want to thank the USA for feeding him up to slow him down. Poor ol’ Tubby Mo.
The man is a traitor to his country and a coward for running away and not looking after the kids he fathered.
Sorry, end of rant. 🙂Hey, I think that would be good parenthood, my brother in law still brings up the fact that I taught my baby sister how to do a heel palm strike to the nose on any guy who tried to kiss her when she was thirteen.
BIL: “Don’t you know that someone can get killed if she gets it right?”
185600: “Um, your point is, exactly?” 🙂
I liked the rant. I agree with the rant.
Say, is there any way we can send money to our US brethren to contribute to the taxes they paid to feed him so he’d waddle slower slow the good guys can catch him faster next time? Y’know, kind of like an IRS Relief fund?
What’s wrong with teaching your sister that? It’s a skill I need to pick up.

In the other one, I was tickling her feet while I was changing her and I hadn’t put her nappy on, so she was probably thinking “How dirty can I make that shirt mum’s wearing when she doesn’t suspect a thing?”
#118 I don’t know Paco, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s used to Tardis to go make himself the most attractive baby he can be. It’s what I’d do.

EmberPackypus is definitely asleep, so now that the Handmaidens of Pure Evil know she’s been fed, and changed, and changed, and changed, and fed, and fed, and changed, and fed, and bathed, and fed, and changed, they’ll let me get some sleep.

snippet…
Since China has come down hard on real, or perceived, Islamic radicalism at home, China is seen by Pakistani Islamic radicals as “foreign devils” and “enemies of Islam.” The Islamic radicals recognize that China is crucial to maintaining Pakistani military and police power, and keeping the current government in power. So there are more attacks on Chinese by Pakistani Islamic radicals.
There ya’ go, Hicks. New battles to be fought. You can bet your sweet ass, that China will never send YOU to a GITMO, type facilty….But hey, give it a shot, Jihad Boy.

Gee, another warning, Americans
Report: Vinyl Baby Bibs Sold at Toys ‘R’ Us May Contain Lead
Guess where ‘they’ are made?
The inexpensive bibs, made in China and imported for Toys “R” Us by Hamco Baby Products, contained lead levels three times as high as the level allowed in paint, the Times reported.
The tests, funded by the Center for Environmental Health of Oakland, Calif., were conducted on bibs purchased from Toys “R” Us and Babies “R” Us stores in California. An independent test conducted by a laboratory hired by the New York Times of the same bibs purchased in Maryland found similar levels of lead, the Times reported.
Meanwhile, a back at the ranch update is issued forth.
The Hicks American style broohaha is reaching a conclusion(therefore it has nothing to do with economists). The Padilla case has gone to the jury. This could be big problems if they find this clown not guilty of anything which is just about all they are now charging him with anyway.
I just thought of something, does Tim know what “a beard” in American slang is????

Well, it ain’t Flat Fatima, but another old Iraqi woman participates in a photographic fraud. Get a load of those bullets that hit her house.
The first picture looks like a bullet core from a .50 cal armor piercing round. We heat treat 10’s of thousands of those things here. The copper is put on later for the rifling to “grab”. If the round went through a wall it could strip the copper off and leave the core as it appears on the first pic. Of course, they could have melted the copper off for the money. The other pic speaks for itself….we must be throwing whole cartridges at them now!!

The cartridges she’s holding could be 5.56, but the empty casings are all over the place, possibly 5.56, 7.62, but the large one doesn’t look big enough for the ma deuce. Some are tweeners, maybe AK-47. I seem to remember the .50 cal cartridge having a rim that was larger in O.D. than the rest of the casing. It was belt fed so the rim didn’t mess up the feed like it would in a magazine. Besides, you wouldn’t lug Ma around for a house raid, it had to weigh over 50 lbs.

“People who’ve had a hard life often find nature a more easy and forgiving place to engage,” Flannery says. “The natural world offers you some solace.”
It also offers a really excellent dumping ground for the carcasses of filth like ol’ Mo, especially when nobody is really in much of a hurry to find them. Sure would be a pity if he were to go on walkabout, never to return thanks to the VRWC.

After all, this guy is not a “westerner” as he was headlined in the Citizen (so for lack of link) but someone born and bred in hatred of all Westerners and their values.Most Canadians do not want him, let him rot in the Guantanomlag.Posted by Wimpy Canadian on 2007 08 15 at 07:40 PM • permalink

#190 No they wouldn’t. There was no time for an ambulance. As soon as we were sure what was happening, Jimmy went to get the car so we wouldn’t have to wait to get an ambulance, and by the time he got back it was too late to go anywhere.
#188 None of them ring any bells Pickles, but like I said, I’ll ask Jimmy when I see him.
Bed calls.
I know a great place, in virtual space
Where the good folk go, share what they know
Of this world, its times, success and its crimes,
They write whatever‘ll cross their minds.At any time you’ll likely find
Paco, quick on tales so slick,
RebeccaH and Richard Mac
Are other regs who know the track.El Cid cracks a joke; it has sleaze, he concedes,
Blogstrop and moptop shake heads.
Grimmy’s ready to rant, for once Habib says he can’t;
If mead’s around, he’ll that drink instead.In a private booth not far off, the beastettes prattle on and scoff.
Ash, nursing babe, chats with Kae.
Missred’s dressed for sin. Col.Milquetoast pops in
(But he’s there to eye 1.618).Infidel’s managed, though don’t ask me how,
To drink, whilst egg’s…umm, egging him on,
Spirits and soda – methylated, he even showed a
Bottle to Spiny Norman.Mr Bingley sings sweetly, Art Vandelay lives on.
Dan Lewis chats with andycanuck.
Nic and Nora return, Murph tells that he’s learned
Mentalfloss ain’t lost, just down on his luckSwinish demands that the Real JeffS stands
A fight breaks out round the back
Duking it out we find T-Bob and Jack
Of the damage and cost, Wronwright keeps track.One might think Andrea’d sort it all out
Wimpy expects her to throw them the book
Only Salty and Skeeter, as they go out to meet her,
Realise she just likes to look.So many death-beasts, post here and there
Their plans to rule over land, sea, and air.
Too many to list, some I’m sorry to’ve missed.
Know, you’re all part of Tim Blair.
#180: That’s right, egg! The hot rod in the video is equipped with Paco’s Patented “Pyro IV”, the industry leader in combination cigar lighters and close-proximity gawker zappers. When a cigar isn’t enough, scorch your way to solitude with the Pyro IV. Only $19.95 (order now and get the companion fire extinguisher for only an additional $100!).
#200 – Exactly what I was thinking.

I am detecting a little scepticism in the room, ash. It’s a tough crowd you got here.

Some headline writer at Fox has a sense of humour: Vladimir Putin Strips for Fishing Trip With Prince Albert.

I’m a bit late into things, as usual lately, but well done, Habib on your journey, and welcome Packypus.
Great pics, Ash, she is a cutie. As are all babies, but yours is the cutest so far.
T&B’s will also be the cutest so far when he or she (possibly it?) joins us in the world.
And where is my mention in the Ode to a Blog???? Hmm? Will I need to break out the big boots

Nilknarf is good for a laugh.
MarkL’s a top bloke, give him scotch’n’coke,
But just this little thin ‘waffer’ for Mr Creosote.There you go, Pedro, 91B30,
Some more of that Teacher’s that Treacher’s brought in.
(Grunt) But it’s becoming a slog, this Ode to the Blog.

Argghh, I’m just getting slack, packin’ ‘em in.
