A Weasel

Yesterday, when discussing greenhouse gas emissions targets with the State Premiers, [tippy title=”¹”]It is a curious situation here in Australia, that while the Federal Government is Right Wing Conservative, all the States are under Left Wing Progressive governance. Apparently people think it is a good idea to have their immediate situations managed by thoughtful people, but are happy to have the country as a whole run by idiots. Go figure. [/tippy] The Weasel made the following comment to the press:

“Jobs and economic prosperity is more important than ideology and emissions targets”

Leaving the atrocious grammar aside, this statement goes a long way towards illustrating what a short-sighted dullard this man is.

He really thinks that Global Warming is just a question of ideology! Like whether or not you think Australia should be a Republic; a matter of opinion. Translating the above: John Howard, Prime Minister of Australia, does not believe the conclusions of the entire scientific community that the world is facing a serious, real climate event of catastrophic proportions.[tippy title=”²”]It is blindingly obvious, therefore, that all his recent new-found ‘concern’ for Green issues is not because he thinks they have merit, but because he is, once again, lying in order to get votes. Why are people so stupid that they can’t see this[/tippy]

My God. His stupidity is breathtaking.

Let me tell you something Prime Minister: all the economic prosperity in the world is going to mean diddly squat when there’s no water left and you’re suffocating in a haze of carbon dioxide.

It doesn’t matter how much I hate him, there seems to be room for even more hate. I strongly condemn him and all he stands for.

After this morning’s tragic bombing in the Iraqi Parliament, I heard on the radio at least half a dozen Persons of Influence ‘strongly condemning’ the act.

British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett condemned it. British Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague said: “I strongly condemn the terrorist attacks that have occurred in Baghdad”. Just now I heard President Bush strongly condemning the bombing.

I’m sure as the rest of the world wakes up they’ll all strongly condemn it too.

Since it’s all the rage to make daft empty declarations of nothingness, let it be known that Tetherd Cow Ahead strongly condemns the bombing. And I suggest all you folk strongly condemn it too, loudly and publicly.

Maybe if we all condemn strongly enough… oh, I can’t go on. Someone save me from vacuous politikalspeek.

Spam Observations #38

My new best friend Charlie Biendsell wrote to me today extolling the virtues of Canadian Pills. Canadian Pills! One can only assume that this is what the Mounties use to get their man!

Charlie’s Canadian Pills schtick is pretty dull:

From: charlie@suckerborneveryminute.com
Subject: For Reverend

Canadian pills have been proven to work, and use only the highest quality ingredients available anywhere.

… blah blah blah… but things spark up when the testimonials kick in:

“I Couldn’t believe the change…”
“Guys, I took the plunge and ordered a 120 day supply of Canada based pills. All I can say is THANK God I DID! Using the measuring guide in the free en1argement exercise section I can proudly tell you that I have gained over 1.8 inches in length and 1.6 inches in girth, AGAIN thank you!”
ALEJANDRA, Arkansas

Uh huh. Measuring guide, eh? Now there’s an idea. I wonder if that measuring guide uses the kind of inches that might be found on a normal ruler, or if, maybe, they are slightly smaller… Oh, but I am too cynica1.

But the most intriguing endorsement is this one:

“My partner has no idea, but has commented on my peni$ feeling thicker on entry lol.. Another thing i have noticed and i know she has been telling her girlfriends is my increased $ex dr1ve and confidence in bed.
I want it far more often now and even if I had never gained I now know that with the improved confidence and fuller erections and also improved dr1ve I can always put a smile on her face. So far so very good. Thank you sooo much!”
Antoinette, Denver

Antoinette?

O-k-a-y. I’m staying well away from those Canadian Pills.
