Here we go again:
You’d think someone who can get 3000 people to sign his politically motivated petition in no time and who regularly gets to appear on all media outlets including the (biased!) ABC would cheer up and feel a little less like the world is out to get him.
When reading Andrew Bolt’s blog over the past month or so, I haven’t been able to get this song out of my head:
Certain commentators are making a big deal out of the religion of the Fort Hood shooter:
Hasan warned that Muslims soldiers could not be trusted to fight a Muslim enemy, and could turn their guns on their countrymen instead. He then did just that himself. Question: why did the army not remove this man from his [...]
A few months ago:
Andrew Bolt proclaims a “new consensus” on global warming. His evidence?
More than 50 physicists, including a Nobel laureate and many others prominent in their field, have signed a new petition warning against the great warming hoax
This week:
The Council of the American Physical Society has overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to replace the Society’s [...]
Andrew Bolt adds an update to his Rudd letter post:
I like Robert Doyle, the Lord Mayor of Melbourne. In fact, we’d probably say we were friends. So I say this more with a smile than with anger: Robert, you great, applause-seeking hypocrite:
I was part of a group of Australia’s capital city lord mayors who lobbied [...]

Oh, look; Anne Davies is waking up.
Of course, those with particular, regularly-expressed feelings about the religion in question knew all along what factor was to blame, and they didn’t need to [...]
With Copenhagen looming and the parliamentary showdown over emissions trading underway, the public is being bombarded with claim and counterclaim about research on climate change. Now, I’m not a climate scientist, nor am I an economist. I don’t have the expertise myself to explain what is likely to happen to our climate in the future [...]
Imagine that you’re a prominent media personality who writes a very successful weblog for a major media organisation. Now, imagine that you find a story by another Australian blogger that reinforces a point that you had previously made to your readers. You’d be glad to have found it and would bring it to your readers’ [...]
As the 2009 US election day got underway (on Tuesday in the US and Wednesday over here), Andrew Bolt gave his take on the situation in New York’s 23rd Congressional district:

Let’s clear up a few things: A response to Andrew Bolt
In a post about Crikey editor Jonathan Green’s appointment to a new editorial position at the ABC, Andrew Bolt inserted an update that included the following:
I’d also urge the ABC to be very careful of Green’s quality control over his writers and blog readers. I was forced recently to write the following to his boss, [...]
