The Lucas Heights reactor is a teeny-tiny little thing used for research and producing radioisotopes for medicine and industry. Its power output is 10MW compared to 3200MW for the Chernobyl-4 reactor.

Naturally the Greens want to shut it down.

Jews.

Is there anything they can't do?

I like this format, Ace. Very Taranto-esque.

Plus the bit about planting murdered hobos-- priceless. I've got visions of Sully starring in a remake of "Motel Hell," only it's set at a lovely B&B in P-town, and instead of curing jerky, he's looking to produce the most delectable foie gras.

Cheers,

Ace,
In his speech on Friday and again last night Bush said that, in his opinion, people who questioned his use (or misuse) of intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq war were "deeply irresponsible."

Perhaps if he had a better grip on reality he would understand, as you do, that 57% of Americans believe that he misused the Iraq intelligence for the purposes of justifying his decision to go to war.

I'm aware of your contention that Bush is not desperate, but what is it if not desperation that causes a president to accuse the 57% of Americans who disagree with him of being "deeply irresponsible?"

Do you agree with the president's characterization of 57% of your fellow countrymen as irresponsible? Do you believe that it is appropriate for a president to characterize the clear majority of Americans who disagree with him in this way?

Yeah, the formats nice yo.

I'd dig up my Grandmothers bones and feed them to a pack of wild dogs before I'd feed that troll.

Jews.

Is there anything they can't do?

Yes, they haven't recovered my share of the Jew gold.

Phil, Phil, Phil. What's deeply irresponsible is continuing to spew a statement you know to be false. Bush said nothing of the sort. This is what he said...a simple google search, 10 seconds, would have shown you the same thing.

As president and commander in chief, I accept the responsibilities and the criticisms and the consequences that come with such a solemn decision.

While it's perfectly legitimate to criticize my decision or the conduct of the war, it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began.

What Bush is calling irresponsible is people who are accussing him of manipulating evidence which I am pretty sure is a treasonous offense last I read. If someone called me treasonous with zero evidence I might be willing to call them something other than irresponsible. Make no mistake, they are making these accusations with ZERO proof. He is stating quite clearly that after multiple investigations demonstrating that the information was not "cooked" by the administration and also being quite clear that those crying foul now had the same access to information (even if they were too lazy to get it) and are trying to find an excuse to now say they were tricked into war and want to blame everything on the President.

Admit it, you and those like you never supported the war and are now looking for a way to damage the President regardless of the affect it has on our troops or the war in general. At least be honest and then we can debate the merits of the war.

I'd dig up my Grandmothers bones and feed them to a pack of wild dogs before I'd feed that troll

me too. but I'd be respectful about it, being your grammy's bones and all.

::Applause::

ps, the hobo part was really scary.

Gee, that Australian nuke threat story seems awfully familiar...

That philosopher guy may actually have a point about the riots in France being a "sign that the young rioters are becoming integrated."

In many ways, they're hewing closely to the hallowed traditions of their French hosts. As Mark Twain once noted:

"For 1,000 years this savage nation indulged itself in massacre; every now and then a big massacre or a little one. The spirit is peculiar to France—I mean in Christendom—no other state has had it. In this France has always walked abreast, kept her end up with her brethren, the Turks and the Burmese. Their chief traits—love of glory and massacre."

I still can't figure out why it's taken so long for the White House to respond to all this nonsense. The only reason that inflated 57% number gets thrown around is because Bush has been inept at striking back at people like Kennedy & Rockefeller. Use their own words against them already.

The feeble-minded (like Phil) would believe it regardless, it's the people who only know what's being spun by the NYT, WP, etc. who I'm interested in.

Don't you understand, we got 57% to agree with us! I mean its over, its a fact now. 57%. spin that, bitches. 57 means its true and there is no going back, because time stops right now-there's no need for more debate or more information. What, you think that 57% of Americans could be wrong? I don't think so because if you disagree with 57, then you are unamerican and possibly a catholic.

ahahahahahshshahahha

whew, I need a kleenex.

I am ashamed to read a blog that makes light of Global Warming, the Enviroligon's Doom's Day, the ur Chinvat Peretum.

Let's summarize what Global Warming will do once man's sins against the Gaian Virgin Planet, earth, has placed us beyond the redemption of Gorbo, the Great Recycler:

It gets hotter.
It gets colder.
It rains a lot.
It hardly ever rains.
Species will become extint
The earth will become overrule as the flora and fauna propser in the heat.
Glaciers will melt
Glaciers will advance.

As you can see, there is literally nothing that Global Warming won't do to us.

For you non believers, if you want proof, just look out your window, if it is raining, dry, cold, hot, windy or calm, chances are that Global Warming has or will have had done that.

Gee, that Australian nuke threat story seems awfully familiar...

Harry:

Yeah, I've also read that story before. Must have been some blogger that Ace never reads. Did we see that story over at Garfield Ridge or something?

French Intellectuals Break Silence

That's the saddest headline I've read in a long time.

And the worst part is, it implies the French were waiting with bated breath for these intellectuals to weigh in.
And their brilliant analysis is as back-asswards as you'd expect.
What does it take to become a French philosopher?

Is it because they were too stupid to make pastry? Too socially inept to wait tables...in France? Too insensible to objective reality to be a French politician?

An old Jewish joke that I can’t resist sharing:

A Jewish man goes into a coffee house in 1930s Vienna. He sees a friend of his, also Jewish, and he’s shocked to notice that his friend is reading a Nazi newspaper. “Herschel,” he says, “ how can you bring yourself to read that filth?”

“Hey,” says his friend. “When I read the liberal papers the news for Jews is terrible, simply terrible. Why should I depress myself when I can read this paper, which tells me that we’re all brilliant, we’re all rich, and we rule the world?”"

The french do have a thing for rioting. I use to go there every June (what was I thinking!) and was caught up in a few. They also like to torch cars and buses when they riot. Very french. Hey, what do I care? It's in france. It is their problem. Pure schadenfreude here. I can't deny it. :) :) :)

And a true story about French intellectuals:

Back in the 1970s, I think, Michel Foucault went to a lecture by Jacques Derrida. He sat through the lecture in silence and left without making a comment. Finally a friend asked him what he thought of Derrida's presentation.

"That guy gives bullshit a bad name," Foucault said.

Do you want to read some crazy? Think tubino makes too much sense? Looking for some batshit, mind-bending, the sky is down and the ground up nonsense?

That post on French intellectuals fits the bill. Ayn Rand had a line in A.S. about how an intellectual is someone who will believe anything that is wrong. So, let's get ready to soak in this line of crapulence:

"'All parties in France, business, the workers and so on, believe that something can be achieved by violence,' he told the leftist daily. "

Something can be achieved by violece? Except for keeping Germans and Islamist welfare recipients out of their country, I guess.

What an abdication of a country's grip on reality. I guess this is the nihilism of Europe that will lead to the United Islamic States of Europe.

the left will finally have its own safely-secular One Horseman of the Apocalypse.
Priceless, Ace! I feel sorry for the other three. Maybe Sauron will employ them. Upgrade to twelve Nazgul!

Everyone blames the Jews for everything, but how do they coordinate? They must have us all fooled, what with "take three Jews and you get four opinions" and all that. Heck, Jews can't even agree who's a Jew or not. And yet they rule the world.

Actually, it would be 13 Nazgul as evidently the Left fired War, replacing the four with Global Warming. Ah well, what an American thing to do anyway. Go Sauron and the 13 Black Riders!

You've gotta love the 57 percenters. I mean, these are the same people who we last saw bemoaning the "fact" that a majority of Americans supposedly thought that Saddam had something to do with 9/11. And all we heard was how ill-informed that majority was--"They get all their information from Faux News! The rubes!"

Then, a majority of the voters put Chimpy McBu$Hitler back in office, and what did we get? The "sorry, everybody" crowd apologizing to France that, well, the 48-49% of smart Americans (who don't live in "Jesusland") voted the way they would've. Sigh. If only the majority wasn't so stooooooopid.

Now, all you hear about is how 57% think the Iraq war was bad bad bad, and after all, a majority of Americans couldn't be wrong.

Typical.

I think Bush is a genius for getting the Jews, who control him, and the Saudis, who pay him, to get along. How often do these two groups have the same interests. Yet, Bush is able to serve both masters, and his rich oil buddies.

This Glucksmann guy has his head screwed on right, at least compared to other French intellectuals.

He wrote a book called "The Gourmet and the Cannibal" (La cuisinneur et la mangeur des hommes) in the 70s, partly about the GULAG - basically repeatedly pimp-slapping the rest of the French intelligentsia with Solzhyneitsyn's cock ... of course, being French, he had to talk shit about America too, but at the time it was a big step.

So, will the rioters integration into French society be complete when they've sent Chirac to the guillotine?

Who cares what the troll did for a living. People in the military can have different opinions.

sorry, wrong post.

It doesn't seem to me that Glucksmann meant to be complimentary when he said that the rioters are becoming integrated through their nihilism.

I could be wrong, but that is how I read his comment.

NEWS FLASH: Ecstasy May Cause Brain Damage...

pssst... (alcohol DOES)

Right. Forgot that.

Everyone blames the Jews for everything, but how do they coordinate?

Look, I'm only going to tell you this one more time, because I put everyone in danger here by exposing this. You know how we cover our heads with scarves and hats? In medieval times, people thought it was because we had horns.

They're not horns. They're antennae.

You did not end your Document Dump with a story that a dummy like me can respond to:

Terrell Owens is still an asshole AND the Iggles blew it lastnight against the incompetent Drew Bledsoe and the Cowgirls

Anyone who's taken Ecstacy knows in their gut that it probably causes brain damage.

Nothing that feels that good comes without a price.

When you're coming down, you can sorta feel little bits of your brain flickering out like a bad bulb.

This thread has gotten out of control. Focus, people.

WHO WON THE POETRY CONTEST?

Ah. I get it now. Thanks, Sue Dohnim!

They say we Latter-day Saints also grow horns. Now I know they probably mean antennae. Either way, mine haven't come out yet. Could it be because I don't pay tithing? I should get a job soon so I can pay tithing so I can be connected to the Hive's central communication network. I think the Queen lives in the Salt Lake Temple.

...he was out in his garden planting murdered hobos.

I haven't seen as many squeegee guys lately...

Any chance we could get Andrew to take a crack at some stray cats instead? My neighborhood is being overrun.

I have to get this off my chest.
Will someone please tell Byron York that his Jackie Kennedy hair-do looks ridiculous.

he does sport a mane.

For many tesco extra after that Kuranes raised the persianesque city of Celephais and its rounded tesco home insurance http://www.swellgum.com/rare786/tesco-home-insurance.html in vain, and though his tesco.com http://www.swellgum.com/in22/tesco.html awakened him to many conscientious and bruised tesco insurance, no one whom he necessitated could tell him how to find Ooth-Nargai beyond the Tanarian Hills.
