Pointed missives thrown blindly into the void, there to pass unnoticed and unloved. That erudite bastard Guy Rundle. Once again plagiarises my thoughts before I've even expressed them. Does he have any idea how annoying that is? Of course, a relatively quick and bloodless end to the war from here on will make the war-buffs, neo-cons, George W., Blair, Howard and the Murdoch media all look good, but is massive carnage a supportable price to pay to see them with egg on their faces?

Pointed missives thrown blindly into the void, there to pass unnoticed and unloved. Just in case you were worried about Syria. The White House has privately ruled out suggestions that the US should go to war against Syria following its military success in Iraq, and has blocked preliminary planning for such a campaign in the Pentagon. You're not implying Bush might lose, are you, Rob? Why, he just won a war! That's gotta make him a shoe-in. Why, his Dad won a war, and he was - oh, wait, now I see.

Pointed missives thrown blindly into the void, there to pass unnoticed and unloved. Saudis and Syrians Say: "Let the People Speak! I wasn't going to post again for a while but this. Was too good to leave alone. From AFP via the SMH:. Arab heavyweights Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Syria in unison called for allowing the Iraqi people chose its government as quickly as possible. What, no endorsement from the Ultra-Democrats in Kuwait? Tom Lehrer was right. Posted by Rob from Sydney, Australia at 1:25 pm.

Pointed missives thrown blindly into the void, there to pass unnoticed and unloved. Septic Tanks in the Suburbs. Hmmm, it appears I was a little testy on the fourth. I wonder why. The weekend long story - not blogging from home any more, the PC is dead, dead, dead - was the tank incursion the Seppos made into "the center of Baghdad". Looking at the map of the route in the Herald. This is like saying Parramatta is the Sydney CBD. Here's a similar article (on the lies from both sides) by Fisky. Okay, point...

Pointed missives thrown blindly into the void, there to pass unnoticed and unloved. Just a brief note, for those of you still bothering to drop by, drawing your attention to this extract. Update 30-06-03: That link is dead, try here. Published in the Grauniad. From Thomas Pynchon's introduction to a new edition of 1984. An excellent piece, sez I. Those interested in Orwell (or prefaces) might wish also to stroll by this page. From my li'l ol' pre-blog website, if you haven't already. (Mirror here.

Pointed missives thrown blindly into the void, there to pass unnoticed and unloved. Nothing of Interest Here. First, an epigram:. At the same time, I learnt that you always lose. Only the bastards think they win. Yeah but what would that commo surrender-monkey know about it? In the Observer talking about the "I told you so" position in the UK. I notice in passing that on Friday ( 3:26 PM post. Tim Blair was still trying to nail Media Watch. For Insect Metaphor Hypocrisy. Let it go, Tim. . A cockroach is...

Pointed missives thrown blindly into the void, there to pass unnoticed and unloved. Taking a leaf out of the book of Richard Herring. I've started blogging again as an exercise in improving my written English, this time with a less counter-intuitive URL. As I'm also trying to wean myself off political commentary, on the very sensible ground that I suck at it, don't come looking for topical material unless you're ready to click through to the best of snark as listed in my huuuuge blogroll.

Of future environmental problems, contra Lomberg, will also say, in passing, that there's not much point in saving whales.
