Green Party - racist and fascist philosophy
The Green Party pretends to be “progressive” but actually it has many policies and programs in common with the exteme right. The Green Party manifesto would discriminate against ethnic minorities and make things much worse for the developing world.

Harlan Ellison on writers settlement
HARLAN ELLISON ON THE WRITERS STRIKE SETTLEMENTYOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO RE-POST THIS ANYWHERE:
Creds: got here in 1962, written for just about everybody, won the Writers Guild Award four times for solo work, sat on the WGAw Board twice, worked on negotiating committees, and was out on the picket lines with my NICK COUNTER SLEEPS WITH THE FISHE$$$ sign. You may have heard my name. I am a Union guy, I am a Guild guy, I am loyal. I fuckin LOVE the Guild.
And I voted NO on accepting this deal.
My reasons are good, and they are plentiful; Patric Verrone will be saddened by what I am about to say; long-time friends will shake their heads; but this I say without equivocation
THEY BEAT US LIKE A YELLOW DOG. IT IS A SHIT DEAL. We finally got a timorous generation that has never had to strike, to get their asses out there, and we had to put up with the usual cowardly spineless babbling horses asses who kept mumbling lessgo bacta work over and over, as if it would make them one iota a better writer. But after months on the line, and them finally bouncing that pus-sucking dipthong Nick Counter, we rushed headlong into a shabby, scabrous, underfed shovelfulla shit clutched to the affections of toss-in-the-towel summer soldiers trembling before the Awe of the Alliance.
My Guild did what it did in 1988. It trembled and sold us out. It gave away the EXACT co-terminus expiration date with SAG for some bullshit short-line substitute; it got us no more control of our words; it sneak-abandoned the animator and reality beanfield hands before anyone even forced it on them; it made nice so no one would think we were meanies; it let the Alliance play us like the village idiot. The WGAw folded like a Texaco Road Map from back in the day.
And I am ashamed of this Guild, as I was when Shavelson was the prexy, and we wasted our efforts and lost out on technology that we had to strike for THIS time. 17 days of streaming tv!!!????? Geezus, you bleating wimps, why not just turn over your old granny for gang-rape?
You deserve all the opprobrium you get. While this nutty festschrift of demented pleasure at being allowed to go back to work in the rice paddy is filling your cowardly hearts with joy and relief that the grips and the staff at the Ivy and street sweepers wont be saying nasty shit behind your back, remember this:
You are their bitches. They outslugged you, outthought you, outmaneuvered you; and in the end you ripped off your pants, painted yer asses blue, and said yes sir, may I have another.
Please excuse my temerity. Im just a sad old man who has fallen among Quislings, Turncoats, Hacks and Cowards.
I must go now to whoops. My gorge has become buoyant.
Respectfully, Yr. Pal, Harlan Ellison

No commentsPaging Rowan Williams…
Instead of speaking up to defend Sharia in your native land why not speak up for Christians, who are supposed to be your flock, in Gaza? I wonder if anyone has managed to point the bearded oik to this bit of anti-Christian news out of Gaza.
No commentsIsrael-hater response to death of terrorist…
So you are content to see basic rules of Western criminal justice – arrest, trial, conviction – set aside in favour of assassination. Your choice. But, please, do not presume to call yourself a democrat and do not for one moment try to preach about British values. You have in this column utterly repudiated the civilsation that we fought for centuries to establish. Israel is not part of the Western family of nations, it does not share our values. We must never compromise our British values pertaining to a fair trial. Posted by Mod on February 15, 2008 6:16 AM
One of the comments in response to Con Coughlin’s piece on the death Imad Mughniyeh. This Mod dolt doesn’t seem to believe that Israel was responsible nor seem to remember the guy killed admitted to all the things he is accused of over the years.
1 commentCarswell MP on Sharia by Stealth
However one looks at what Dr Williams said – and millions on Al Jazeera have – his comments can only have encouraged those inspired by Qutb’s teachings. As the BBC has been quick to point out, Dr Williams was not apparently arguing for nasty hand-chopping sharia. No, he simply wants a little bit of civil sharia. Just in a few cases.
As the say; go read the whole thing.

Creeping fascism…of the health kind
Some young idiots can’t handle their booze we all know this. The solution is to arrest these oiks and chuck the book at them. The solution is not to screw over all the reasonable drinkers by raising the price of booze even more (like most of it isn’t tax already) as Gordon Browns sees to be planning. Collective punishment is immoral and against natural justice.
Speaking of this sort of thing Martin McGuinness has criticised Eastenders and Coronation Street not for being badly written bilge but for the fact they are set in pubs. Rather ironic this coming from an Irishman don’t you think? Granted his IRA buddies (or former buddies) seemed to like blowing them up so it probably should come as no shock.
No commentsThe Secret World becomes a little less secretive
Age of Conan hasn’t even come out just yet, but for certain people FunCom’s next project is the focal point. There has yet to be a massively game with a modern (alternate Earth-style) setting, where Lovecraftian horrors threaten to disembowel unprepared players.
This sounds rather interesting indeed.
