    1. A good real life example of this here.

      The (fake) story that got a run about the sheep for poodles scam in Japan caused one daily kos contributor (about 8 comments down) to note:

      sheep all found good homes on farms, and at least GW Bush isn’t their president. so there’s a bright side here…

    1. Tim, I demand that you update this post to link to this Larvatus Prodeo post by Paul Norton:

      In 2002 the Australian reported that scientists claimed to have found the remains of the biggest goose ever to have lived in Australia. I wrote a letter to the paper suggesting that the scientists’ claim was questionable because Alexander Downer was still alive. My letter didn’t get printed.

      Now what was that you were saying about fixated …?

    1. Never understood why people refer to Howard as ‘little’. He’s pretty much exactly average height. And so what if he was short. Is that a character flaw? It amazes me that the left keep saying this – I would think that they’d at least pretend that something that someone has no control over and has no affect on their ability is irrelevant.

      (If this is even more poorly written than my usual comments it’s because I have a nasty hangover.)

    1. #13 – it is worse than that for me.  I’ve sort of “met” Howard and he is taller than I am.  Those constant references to him as “litl’ Johny” get awfully depressing.  I don’t normally feel short.

    1. I spotted this years ago when I read this letter in the Silly Moaning Herald:

      In a world stunned and insensitive to the wholesale cruelty practised by humans upon each other, to supposedly lighten the darkness of oppression in a self-righteous way, could one really be surprised by the attack of youngsters on a poor, defenceless kitten?

      What we give medals for on the large scale, we find appalling on the small. The six o’clock news is a litany of war and destruction. Why blame the small entrepreneurs when the large practitioners have such a field day?

      We teach the youngsters all we know. Might makes right.

      Frank McQuade, Kogarah, January 21.

      I had this letter published the next day:

      After the tsunami, it was refugee policy. After the Eureka celebrations, it was David Hicks. Now, after kitten cruelty, it is Iraq. Is there any single issue that can’t somehow be tied right back to Howard-hating by the left? Try this one: male pattern baldness.

      I am sure I had lefties scratching their heads for hours, however the best any of them could come up with was this:

      Yes, Daniel Lewis (Letters, January 29-30), John Howard is responsible for male pattern baldness. Every time Howard haters hear him tell how wonderful things are going in Iraq, they pull their hair out.

      Fred Strassberg, Belrose, January 29.

      Lame.

    1. Try this one: male pattern baldness.

      Easy. If it weren’t for Little Johnny Howard’s bestest friend, Dubya, stem cell research would have cured all disease, enabled Christopher Reeve to walk again, and eliminated obesity and male pattern baldness. We’d all be buff and healthy, and live forever.

      No problem, no matter how longstanding, isn’t the fault of the all-powerful Bush.

    1. Way OT but of interest to most readers here. FL Lawmakers suck, but lobbyists worse:

      Renewable energy and environmental groups have largely supported the Legislature’s efforts this year, but still said the bill fell short in some areas.

      “It would be nice if it had more weight in terms of conservation and promoting solar,” said Susie Caplowe, a lobbyist for the Sierra Club. “When are we going to take the really tough steps to really push a solar water heater in each House?”[emphasis added. Yeah, solar water heaters will fix all our problems.—bl]

      The bill does have sales tax breaks for the production and distribution of biofuels. [Yay, more sales tax breaks. Pretty soon the sales tax will only exist on paper.
      —bl]
       It also calls for a greenhouse gas inventory to determine the major pollutants of Florida’s air, and establishes a statewide task force to help implement a coherent energy policy.

      We really should make it illegal for the Lege to convene except during leap years. I think that should just be a principle of governance. The less they meet, the less they can screw up.
