Seven graphs which do not end the warming hype

By Jeremy
Andrew Bolt does love a graph.
So, knowing how enthusiastically he reads this site, we’d like to present him - and you - with our own series of our favourite cherry-picked, out-of-context, irrelevant, misleading and probably flat-out wrong graphs and charts that we found on the intertubes, too. We hope he gets as much [...]

Compare and contrast

By Tobias Ziegler (Cross-posted at Not A Hedgehog)
Acceptable:
Here’s how you take part in the show yourself, to raise the questions you thought the ABC would never ask.
Unacceptable:
As well as watching the program, please think about asking questions of Christine and the other panellists - about the Senate and balance of power, [...]

LINKAGE CITED

By Jeremy
“Skepticlawyer” links to Tim Blair on the controversial Art Monthly cover -
I’m going to stick the graphic up next to this post (make your own minds up) and make a few comments in response to Tim Blair’s and Kim at LP’s posts on this issue.
Kim’s post was nearly a thousand considered words, including [...]

Dogwhistle successful

By Jeremy
Andrew Bolt links to a frankly outrageous story about two British schoolboys being given detention for refusing to kneel down and pray when told to by their schoolmasters (obviously, since it’s got Bolt upset, they were being asked to pray to Allah) and mystifyingly concludes that it raises the following question:
How come the people [...]

Everyone else’s problem

By Jeremy
It’s all Garnaut, all the time at the moment over at Timmy Blair’s Echo Chamber of Wingnuttery. Take this morning’s enthusiastic endorsement of NSW Nationals leader Andrew Stoner’s attempt to argue why we don’t have to do anything until China does… Timmy summarises:
Australian politicians are becoming more vocal on how futile and destructive is [...]

WELL FANCY THAT

By Jeremy
Tim Blair has heard of the words “civility” and “logic”.
And, although I don’t want to jump to conclusions here, knowing OF the words, he may conceivably have even uncovered what they mean.
So you were all quite wrong. Put THAT in your pipe bong and smoke it, lefties.

It’s not “soppy”, it’s beautiful

By Jeremy
I’m sick of people putting Andrew Bolt down. The guy’s a RESPECTED POLITICAL COMMENTATOR who occasionally writes PROFOUND AND NOT IN ANY WAY TRITE OR CREEPY monologues on life.
The man pours his heart out and you cynical beasts mock him for it. Shame on you.

CHORE DRAMATISED

By Jeremy
Timmy Blair is awash with excitement over finally being able to hose down his car:
Having been banned from car-washing for so long, I didn’t even know if our place had a tap somewhere out the front (it did). Nor did I know how neighbours might react to blatant car-based hosing…
Wheeling my car out for [...]

Bolt triumphant

By Jeremy
With a petty little jibe about it being the “final insurgent holdout”, News Ltd typist Andrew Bolt revels in the New York Times reporting that
Violence in all of Iraq is the lowest since March 2004. The two largest cities, Baghdad and Basra, are calmer than they have been for years. The third largest, Mosul, [...]

Name just one!

By Jeremy
In his asinine attempt in today’s Herald Sun to portray those filthy un-Australian child-hating artists as being “conformist” groupthinkers, Andrew Bolt returns to the idiotic “name just one” attack we’d sadly thought a thing of the past:
WANT proof our artists think in a pack, and not for themselves? Then see their reaction to the [...]
