Tim Blair’s jihad against Tim Flannery continues. Today Blair’s picked up on a report which suggests that global warming (which doesn’t exist anyway) will enhance Australia’s agricultural output over the coming few decades. Read more »

I’ve got to admit that I almost feel sorry for Andrew Bolt. Watching Gordon Ramsay on television a few weeks ago he fell in love. There was something about Gordon Ramsay — a man’s man with conservative values and masculine pride — that made Bolta’s heart beat a little faster. Read more »

It seems that Bolt and Blair have noticed the global issue that everyone else has been talking about for a while: rising food prices. Maybe they have been posting on this topic for months now (I honestly don’t know). My guess is that they just learned about it from their co-thinker, Mark Steyn. Read more »
Timmeh mocks an AFP story that inadvertently multiplies the US prison population by ten:
If true, this means the US prison population would be larger than the population of all but two states. The actual figure is closer to one per cent. Read more »
Interesting remark from Andy today, in between whinges about the 2020 Summit:
Ducked out to the auction of another house I can’t afford.
There you are - the housing affordability crisis, the one created and exacerbated by eleven years of John Howard’s economic policies, is even hitting well-paid News Ltd columnists.
I’m sure it’s all the left’s fault, though. Read more »

I’ve got to hand it to Andrew. Only he can take the most random topic — say, a foreign reality television program about cooking — and use it to make an argument about Australian politics — say, the much maligned and thoroughly rejected Liberal Party WorkChoices policy. Read more »

Old Andy has a problem with this. Read more »
If Iraq wasn’t won the last time Andrew claimed (or perhaps didn’t claim) it was, those pesky insurgents surely don’t stand a chance now that Bolt the hero and his little rodent pal Timmeh are on the case. Read more »

Andy’s written a fairly glowing column in today’s Hun about Peter Hitchener’s recent quiet revelation regarding his private sexuality. It’s one that Andy feels deserves commendation - because of the way Hitchener’s done it: Read more »

I was wondering how Andy would cover the Adelaide incest story. Obviously he’s not stupid enough to try to blame it on TEH EVIL LEFT (as at least one try-hard right-wing blogger has embarrassingly attempted), but he’s similarly not going to let it go through to the keeper. (You can’t be too picky when you’re trying to upload a post every fifteen minutes.) Read more »

Blogger and Daily Telegraph opinion editor, Timmeh Blair, has struck a deal with his employer for the right to do officially what most bloggers do on the sly: blog on work time using work bandwidth. Blair this morning announced that he will be moving his extremely popular blogging activities from timblair.net to the Tele’s website. Read more »

Remember the Islam-hating comment that got published at Bolta’s blog? This time Andrew’s moderator monkeys let through a comment suggesting that ex-US President is a paedophile. Read more »
Resident Age cranky old self-appointed “lefty” Catherine Deveny sets the side back a few years with a facile piece exhibiting negative lefty steretypes. (We “miss hating Howard”, the out of touch duffer declares.) Read more »

I’m beginning to think that Andrew Bolt is actually an elaborate practical joke and not a journalist (sic) with a twice weekly column and regular television and radio appearances. This kind of simplistic and simple-minded analysis is simply mind boggling.
I told you CNN was of the Left
It’s the rope that surprises me: Read more »

Hands up who’s had a comment SNIPPED at Andrew Bolt’s blog. Yep, that’s what I thought. Hands down now.
Bolt’s army of moderation monkeys are famous for their hardline stance on comments that present an alternative view to that expressed by their trainer, and are simply not tolerant of comments that link to blogs that are broadly anti-Bolt (while links to pro-Bolt sites are perfectly fine.)

Tim Blair has provided yet more irrefutable, scientific evidence to disprove the crackpot leftist conspiracy that is anthropogenic global warming. And because his discerning readers demand variety, he’s taken the highly unusual step of tying it in with a pot shot at Tim Flannery:
2004: Read more »
Supporters of the courageously over-the-top approach the former government and its overly enthusiastic AFP took regarding the always flimsy case against Dr Haneef, had their credibility on the subject further rocked this week by the revelation that the AFP incompetently or deliberately concealed a crucial email suggesting his innocence.

It comes as no real surprise that Andrew Bolt and a few News Ltd. colleagues (oh, and the odd illiterate blogger from rural Queensland) are about the only people in Australia who won’t give Kevin Rudd credit for criticising China’s human rights record, on Chinese soil and in the Chinese language. But Bolta’s such a rabid Rudd-hater that he doesn’t focus on what Rudd said, he focuses on what Rudd didn’t say. Read more »

Tim Blair quotes a reader (or someone) who suggests that “Panty-wetting Greentards” are upset about a polar bear eating live fish in a German zoo. Those dumb greenies: they love polar bears so much but they don’t like it when they see them doing what they naturally do. Read more »

Most bloggers don’t ban people from commenting at their blogs no matter how annoying those commenters may be. Some bloggers do block people with dissenting opinions from commenting on their site. But one blogger gets so angry with his commenters that he blocks them from even viewing their blog if they stray outside the groupthink parameters. Read more »

Andrew Bolt continuously shrieks that climate change sceptics are disrespected and not taken seriously by a brainwashed public who worship a green religion. But how can he and Tim Blair expect to be taken seriously when they repeatedly argue that climate change is a myth based on — gasp! — snow falling while somebody talks about global warming?
