For want of a root
A sad day for Israelis worldwide
While on a tour of the museum at the Auschwitz death camp in Poland on Sunday, a group of around 50 Jewish university students from Israel, the U.S. and Poland were verbally attacked by a three-member gang of French male tourists.Nowhere in the article will you find the words "and were torn limb from limb".
Pathetic. 50 students intimidated by 3 frenchmen. Arts students are obviously pansies the world over.

43 old whiners
This is the best I've seen from Andrew Bolt:
Only recently, Gration signed a petition which hysterically attacked the Government's "fascist" anti-terrorism laws and cried: "We do not want Australia to be turned into a carbon copy of Hitler's Germany."
He barely blushed when that document was found to be the work of the far-Right Citizen's Electoral Council, and backed by a gaggle of Muslim "spokesmen" including radicals such as Grand Mufti Taj El-Din El-Hilaly, who has called suicide bombers "heroes".
Still, it's nice to see Gration objecting to fascism, having once negotiated Paul Keating's infamous secret defence pact with Indonesian dictator Suharto.
Read it all.

You're terrible, Muriel
It was touching, this concern of Collette to save us from American films, American accents and American vacuity, particularly when she is so busy here, promoting Connie and Carla, the latest American film to star her.
So why is Collette here flogging the very kind of vacuous American film she warns will make us a mindless "country of clones", and must be stopped?Who knows? I'd ask her, but don't know which of her houses to ring - the $5 million Sydney mansion, the country property or the Tamarama home.
Gotta love being lectured on the FTA by second rate actors. If I want a lecture on economics, I'l ask for one from an economist. If I want a lecture on culture... who am I kidding, no straight man has ever wanted a lecture on culture. Do boobies count as culture?

Yesterday's hero
He disappeared from sight on about the 10th of July and hasn't been heard from since. Can't think why.
1200 'minutemen' surrender, 300 don't
The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not "insurgents" or "terrorists" or "The Enemy." They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. Get it, Mr. Bush?
Iraqi Police General Directorate, Saturday, August 7, 2004:
"Over 1200 criminals have surrendered to Iraqi forces," it said, adding that the holy city of Najaf had been "secured".Nice work by the Iraqis, bit much of the prisoner taking and not enough of the summary execution for my liking but there's democracy for you.
It said most of the captured militiamen were criminals who were released from Iraqi prisons by ousted president Saddam Hussein before last year's US-led invasion.
The reporters tried to contact Sadr:
No-one in Sadr's Najaf office was immediately available for comment on the statement.No shit, Sherlock? Bet there's an answering machine message: "Nobody can come to the phone right now - we're either dead in the street or kneeling in wet pants, begging for our lives."

Oops
"I said `what are you doing, I'm a cop', then the person kicked me a couple more times and then I fell unconscious'," he said.
Insp Lee said the attacker responded "fucking pig, fucking cunt" after Const Allen told him he was a police officer.
F*cking charming.
Update: Ever the do-gooders, several dots have now got together to take up the slack:
Insp Lee said the attacker responded "f...ing pig, f...ing c..." after Const Allen told him he was a police officer.
