Little Green Footballs Dictionary

Aside from Charles and song_and_dance_man, the one LGFer who really helped me the most was “theparson” (who I believe doesn’t post much anymore, if at all). The last email from theparson contained a whole big pile of info, and I can’t remember how much of it I already integrated into the dictionary.

So, whoever takes on this task needs to simply browse through theparson’s research entry-by-entry, and make sure that it is already part of the relevant definitions. If one particular bit of research is still unimplemented, then stick it in the appropriate entry.

It could well be that all of this is already integrated, or that none of it is — I’ve long forgotten. But I have a suspicion that some of it already is, and some isn’t. So, go for it:

Another great example of the LLL (Loony Left Logic).
Suddenly they’ve discovered country music.
So what other country artists have the IDIOTARIANS discovered?

Q. Whatís LLL?
A. Loony Liberal Left or Leftist, or Loony Left Logic (depending on context). Also referred to as L3, L3, or el cubo. LLL first used on LGF by Robert Brandtjen; first used on LGF with a definition (Loony Left Logic) by European-American. ìEl cuboî first used on LGF by scaramouche.

“Dr.” Alomari needs one of these under his turban to protect him from the Zionist Mind Control Rays© beamed down on the American Public© by the Zionist Black Helicopters©.
Nice thorough fisking there, Charles.

Q. Whatís ìfiskingî? It sounds vaguely dirty.
A. No, it isnít dirty. Itís derived from Robert Fisk (hmm, on the other handÖ ) and refers to a point-by-point debunking of the kind of lies and/or idiocies written by those of the Robert Fisk persuasion.

This quote from a Jerusalem Post article was too delicsious to pass up.
Here is the URL for the full article of Arab reaction to the disbanding of the UN “Fact” finding team, which is worth reading.
http://www.jpost.com…
In Jordan, the Arab Human Rights Organization denounced Annan’s statement, saying in a press release that the United Nations has “lost its credibility, neutrality and independence.” The group said Arab states should consider withdrawing from the international body.
Well now were getting somewhere. If anyone was worried about the effect of keeping Kofi’s Kossacks out of Jenin, it is looking pretty good.

The comments at Kerry’s site ARE amazing. but those are the Kossacks. My favorite was the one against “sensorship.”
“Kerry delinked out of fear?” Maybe. But it was the right action. Let it be.
Tonight, let’s let the Kossacks diss Kerry.

LOL! Bore is right. Each time I noticed him, it was for saying something stupid, usually a moronic one-liner, so he’s certainly distinguished himself with mediocrity
What is it with these creepy trolls? It seems like you’re always one of the first people they somehow sense with their icky stalks or whatever those things are, slimy trolling tendrils, trolldar, somehow you always end up an object of their unwanted affections. Been wearing that scent lately? Or just zionist hair rays doing their thing

Oil for Palaces
10/31/2002: Itís About Oooiiiillll
#43 GKarp 10/31/2002 02:18PM PST
The proposition that the conflict with Iraq is all about oil suffers from at least two fatal flaws.
First, as several posters have pointed out, the cheapest most efficient way to get the oil would be to buy it, even as the most dangerous and costly way to get the oil is to send troops and risk Iraqi oilfields going the way of Kuwait’s in ‘91. It took a year to put those fires out. If you think this is the US’s best effort to get access to Iraqi you must believe that US policymakers are irrational.
Even worse, the proposition that this is a war for oil must fail because it is non-falsifiable; there is no state of affairs in which it could be proved untrue. The US since the first Bush administration has pursued a policy of sanction and embargo against Iraq, restricting oil exports to what flows through the UN’s oil for palaces- er, food- program. Decreasing supply naturally tends to raise prices which benefits big corporate oil interests (say, Halliburton for instance). Now the US proposes to change policy to one of Iraqi liberation which will either 1) shut down Iraqi production entirely or, 2) increase Iraqi production markedly. Each of these scenarios is decried as being “for the oil.” If the proposition that US policy is all about oil is always true no matter what policy the US adopts, the claim has no meaning.
One could just skip all this and accept that the US is defending itself against an aggressive sadistic madman intent on the acquisition and probable use of WMD, but it is harder to fit on a bumper sticker. Its also scarier to believe we cannot reform ourselves into making this go away. If the problem was our appetites rather than Saddam’s ambition then no one would have to get hurt. Just ain’t so.

“Al Jazeera will be broadcasting what is shaping up to be a non U.N. backed brutal urban seige by white, english speaking nations against Muslims, with many casualties on both sides — that this occurs on Shrub’s watch is freaking out the middle class and all sane people everywhere big time.”
Funny, how the arabs are “brown” people and
Israeli’s who are also 5′8″ tall, with the same curlly brown
hair and brown eyes, and the same desert tan are “evil white colonialists.”
Oh “english speaking” because the US army has a large
percentage of “people of color” which would
undermine the attempt tp make this a race thing.
And the Kurds are “white” right?
What about the “gypsies” that europe is still abusing,
are they “white” or people of color.
Of course my people were oppressed and enslaved in
Egypt while most of OLD Europe was still wearing
animal skins and trying to figure out how to make
fire. But that doesn’t count because we are JEWS,
Jews, joooosssss!!!
Oh and you should get your ass off occupied aboriginial land now, because you know damn well they
were “walking the dreamtime” while your ancestors
were trying to steal fire from your neighbors who had already figured out how to make it themselves.

#69 If that were true they wouldn’t stand for an Egyptian dictator.
And here I thought Kuwait belonged to the Kuwaitis. So why did the Jordyptians (ok, I’ll play along) “Palestinians” ally themselves with Saddam? Oh, that’s right, the “dead jew” platform.
Anyhow, I’m sure there was a child murdered somewhere in the world today. I’ll let you go out to dance and pass out candy. ”
