Congrats to our resident gun-toting loony KG, who today entered the blogging record books for the world’s shortest retirement. Yesterday at 7.33pm the world was a burden on KG’s mighty shoulders as he solemnly announced that Crusader Ratbag would be ‘closing down’:

There are other things to do, other ways to spend my free time. A man’s days are limited and precious and a beloved wife deserves more than the time left over from blogging and cruising the net.

As predicted, the forces of restorative stupidity (ie. MK and his tender touch) went to work, assuaging KG’s petulant temper and/or massaging his bruised ego, and by 8.15am the next day normal transmission had resumed as he declared:

I’ve been talking to MK and to Gecko and the upshot is that I’ll keep going with CR and make more of an effort to stop moaning and get working harder. The knight is not yet unhorsed!

Total downtime: 12 hours and 42 minutes. We’ll all sleep more peacefully tonight, knowing he’s back on watch.

Stridently heterosexual blogger KG’s long-held fascination with phallic objects continues:

Last week, KG — that gun-totin’ gay-hatin’ darling of the rational right — posted a typically well-reasoned response to the Daily Telegraph’s idiotic front-page story about the “gay lobby’s” push to ban teachers using words like “mum”, “dad”, “husband” and “wife” in NSW schools.

In his post’s comment thread, a tongue-in-cheek remark from yours truly (suggesting that another wingnut’s comment had made KG seem almost “moderate”) elicited this astonishing mish-mash of paranoid, bigoted and utterly retarded conspiracy theory from the blogosphere’s most likely serial-killer-to-be:

If I sound moderate, then there’s obviously a failure on my part to communicate properly.
Homosexuality is aberrant behaviour and that behaviour is entirely the business of those affected..until those people attack the traditional family structure and attempt to promote homosexuality as being somehow “normal”.
That they can do so via the schools speaks volumes about the moral standards of teacher’s unions.
That the Left is at the forefront of this disgusting social engineering speaks volumes about the moral poverty
of you lot.
Moderate? No–I’d kill leftists on sight if it were possible to do so and get away with it, as sweet revenge for the damage you’ve caused to society.

Well, he certainly showed me!

Anyway, last night’s Media Watch exposed the Daily Telegraph’s story for the shameful beat-up that it was. It’s a longish tale, but one that’s worth reading if you weren’t aware of the Tele’s appalling approach to research and journalistic ethics; or, as is far more likely, you were aware of it and simply enjoy seeing that pitiful rag cop the kicking it so thoroughly deserves.

And don’t forget to stay tuned to Crusader Rightard for KG’s admission that he got his facts woefully wrong.

If he’s even half the gentleman I think he is, his apology will be up on his blog in no time flat.

I announced during today’s GrodsCast that I’m giving up my filthy habit of reading insane wingnut blogs. Barely half a day has passed, and while I’m pleased to say I’m still clean, I must admit I’m struggling.

I’ve been keeping the withdrawals at bay by snacking on a fine, tahini-like paste of shit and gunpowder, but it’s a poor substitute for the real thing.

Thank heavens I still have this picture to remind me of better times.

Pray for me, friends.

AWH’s resident fruit-loop KG is an expert on all things indigenous - he’s lived, worked and travelled with them (hard not to forget; he constantly tells the world) so he is a source of great wisdom and authority on the topic. Today he informs indigenous Australians that this morning’s ‘Sorry’ doesn’t mean jack … and that he and his wife have done far more to help them than any government:

You’ve shown my beloved wife your affection and boundless hospitality and generosity and in return she cared for your wounds and your sick children, at the cost of her own health and the chance to advance further in her chosen career. More than once she risked her life and considered it a small price to pay for the joy your company brought her.

How very noble: she should be knighted in the Queen’s Birthday honours. Now I can’t speak for Mrs KG, since it’s her husband doing the talking, but note the thinly-veiled barb about her health and how she sacrificed advancement in “her chosen career”. Wouldn’t a true friend of the Aboriginal people consider such service an honour, a life fulfilled, instead of carping about hardships and lost opportunities? You didn’t hear Fred Hollows whinging about living in tents and shacks in Eritrea, missing out on the squillions he could’ve made in private practice. KG’s stock on the sainthood exchange just dropped a few points.

The apology of this Gummint doesn’t speak for us, any more than it is offered sincerely to you, our friends. It’s just more Gummint Business, and we both know what that means, eh, blackfellas. Pass me a beer, Bangleesh and to hell with ‘em.

The hand of tolerance and friendship was offered to a quarter-million Australians today - tokenistic or not it was an unprecedented step - and all this bigoted gollum can do is lurk in the shadows, whispering “Psst! Don’t believe them! They liiiiiee!” I’d like to see KG stand before those women weeping on the lawns of Parliament House today and tell them it was a cynical, meaningless gesture. Let’s see how many blackfella friends he has then.

Dickhead par excellence KG has posted the following comment at A Western Heart in response to the news that woman of Somali descent stabbed two pilots on a New Zealand domestic flight today:

Seems to me that since this woman stabbed the pilots in mid-air, the intention may have been to bring down the aircraft, not hijack it. And I’ve just been talking to someone who met the woman a while ago at Blenheim hospital–apparently she was wearing a hiijab at that time and had a very hostile attitude.

Draw you own conclusions……

Why thank you KG, I might just do that: YOU’RE A FUCKING WANKER.

Here’s an experiment: pop into the AWH comment thread, where resident retard “Crow” has already said:

A Somali? Engaging in violent activity? That’s unheard of!

and suggest that every time an American goes postal and shoots up a school or shopping centre, it’s a clear indication that there’s something culturally wrong in the USA. 

See how long it’ll take for:

a) Your comment to be deleted
b) Your comment to be edited to make it look like you’re gay
c) The AWH nutters to accuse you of being a terrorist supporter/ally.

Honestly, I don’t know why I keep reading that site.

UPDATE: Actually, yes I do: it’s for the same reason I’m compelled to look at my turds before I flush them.

UPDATE 2: Krypto took the challenge and posted this, at 12.26pm:

It took just one hour and 20 minutes for the post to be deleted.

Gun-totin’, mooslim-hatin’ blogger KG — last seen barely able to contain his excitement while talkin’ submarines with some ball-shrivellingly heterosexual right-wingers — has lovingly posted pictures of the following vehicle at Crusader Rabbit:

Honestly, KG, just get it over with and blow one. You’ll feel a whole lot better for it.

Sensational proof that Crusader Rabbit’s delightful right-wing blogger KG isn’t quite the uncompromising militarist he’d have us believe:

I would’ve thought they’d work better with bullets and shells and stuff.

GrodsReader Tony T. has taken up the KG Photoshop Challenge and produced this cracker.

GrodsReader Craigy has taken up the KG photoshop challenge and submitted this beauty.

GrodsReader Ant Rogenous has done some brilliant photoshopping with the picture of A Western Heart’s KG, as revealed on GrodsCorp a few days ago.

Anyone else care to have a crack? The original’s here.

The recent fun that John Surname and I have been enjoying over at A Western Heart continues unabated. Despite our Haloscan bans we still seem to be able to post inflammatory comments. Here’s one I prepared this morning (the comment’s since been deleted, of course.)

And here’s MK getting angry at John Surname for daring to, you know, comment on a blog.

what you and your boyfriends get up to at your blogs is your business, i really don’t care, because that’s all bottom-feeding fools like you can do, snipe and whine. Knock yourselves out, there. Oh and it’s not a threat moron, you keep posting crap, we’ll keep kicking it to the kerb.
MK

The whole stupid thing reminds me of an exchange I had with A Western Heart contributor KG at another blog in April ‘07. He done got sooky and tried to threaten me, failing dismally.

Wow! Another blog victory for [blogger’s name deleted] and his merry band of brothers. Youse guys are, like, the best.

kg said, on April 11th, 2007 at 4:46 pm
yeah, and look what he left behind–he must have taken a dump while nobody was looking….

kg said, on April 11th, 2007 at 5:13 pm
heh! And Milton must be so proud to have The Editor as a resident. ;-)

Not a close neighbour of yours I hope, [blogger’s name deleted]!

The Editor said, on April 11th, 2007 at 5:21 pm
I see what you’re doing there, kg. You’ve done a whois search on my IP address and casually mentioned the suburb that is registered to that IP address as a sort of attempt at low level intimidation.

kg said, on April 11th, 2007 at 5:38 pm
I did? It is?

One thing I can state categorically–I did NOT do a whois search on your IP address. It wasn’t necessary for me t

have a nice day. :-)

PKD said, on April 11th, 2007 at 5:41 pm
I did NOT do a whois search on your IP address

So how did you know he lived in Milton?

The Editor said, on April 11th, 2007 at 5:47 pm
One thing I can state categorically–I did NOT do a whois search on your IP address. It wasn’t necessary for me to.

One thing that I can state categorically is that even a cursory read of my website would reveal that I do not live in Milton. Not even the same state.

Idiot.

(ps/- Any attempt to “reveal” any other of my personal details will only reveal you to be more of an idiot. They’re all on the net. Most on my own website. None are hidden.)

kg said, on April 11th, 2007 at 5:58 pm
well, there ya go–it couldn’t have been “an attenpt at low-level intimidation” then, could it?

kg said, on April 11th, 2007 at 6:06 pm
PKD–from “information recieved” as they say.
Said information was perhaps incomplete.

Those AWH boys really know how to show us dirty lefties what for, don’t they?

And by the way, here’s KG (right) defending the Australian coastline against marauding Muslims, poofs, lefties and feminists.

Over there! Muzzies!

UPDATE (5 Jan): KG wrote a piece at AWH this morning talking about internet censorship. I left this comment.

It was deleted, of course, and replaced with — gasp! — my name and email address. The former is quite well known, can be found by the most cursory Google, and even appears in a few places around this website. The latter is extremely well-hidden in the sidebar of this blog. Top effort at unmasking there, KG!
