Far-left exposed some more

January 05th, 2004 | Category: Politics

Oliver reports on Tom Young, someone who believes reports and pictures of Saddam attrocities have been faked. The person in question seems to be trying to be a far-left version of David Irving.

Jackie reports on MoveOn.org’s first attempt at an anti-Bush advert. As one could expect from this lot of cretins, it used the theme of Bush=Hitler. It recieved lots of complaints (including the Simon Weisenthal Centre) and was pulled. Would it be cynical of me to suggest they knew this would happen and released it for the publicity? Any publicity is good publicity after all.

Update: Michele has news there is more than one such advert.

Update: Damian has more on this whole row.

Return To Sender

It was while steaming open my wife’s mail that I reflected on Henry Stimson’s sage counsel. You’ll recall that Stimson served as Secretary of State (1929-33) in the Hoover Administration. While in that position, he closed down State’s cryptoanalysis section, on the basis that “Gentlemen don’t read each other’s mail.”

Fortunately “Khyrystyhyl” (not her real name) is no gentleman.

And neither am I.

Uh-oh, here comes “Khyrystyhyl.” She’s in one of her “moods,” I can tel
