Moron Revealed #39

Moron of the Week - 39 - Thom Yorke

Congratulations Dave Munger for taking the win from Dragonlady's World and for knowing that this week's moron is Thom Yorke.

Woo hoo, Dave of The Hand of Munger, that was a tough one.

For those unaware, and will probably regret learning, Thom Yorke is the moody (or perhaps constipated) lead singer for Radiohead, a British pop music group. Radiohead is best known for a recent ablum, "Hail To The Thief", which many believe was an anti-American reference to the United States 2000 elections.

Yorke also blurts out a lot about environ-mental issues and anti-war propaganda.

But, here's one way he attempts to beat the criticism before it gets to you.

"Yorke is a vocal ambassador for the charity Friends Of The Earth, but admits he isn't "flawless", since big concerts, tours and festivals rely on fossil fuel and create tons of unrecyclable waste.

That stresses me out, because I am a hypocrite. As we all are."

Oh no, we're not all hypocrites. I never once claimed to be an environmental goodie-two-shoes. I burn gas and I'm proud of it - just wish it wasn't so expensive.

And, unfortunately for this moron, his admittance doesn't work because he still chooses to go on tour and burn all that gas.

If you were truly an environmental wackjob (and not just a wackjob) you'd decide touring wasn't necessary.

It would do us all a favour, too, not having to watch you on stage whining and complaining to the naive youth.

An example of Yorke's griping and complaining is against his PM, Tony Blair.

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has slammed British Prime Minister Tony Blair for his lack of integrity, and refuses to meet him to discuss his climate change campaign. The crusading rocker, an ambassador for environmental group Friends of the Earth, feels let down by his leader's lack of "environmental credentials" and believes any talks to cut greenhouse gas emissions would be futile.
Perhaps the PM, whom seems smarter than you, doesn't want to meet with you either since you're a sniveling douchebag. He probably also knows that your enviro-whining is all a crock of sh*t and that laws of nature have more to do with climate change than pollution does.

And, when it comes to his anti-war complaints, he's the leader of the pack.

By speaking out, Yorke says he intends "to make Blair squirm over his decision to take us into an illegitimate war (in Iraq) and follow this religious lunatic [US president Bush] toward a dangerous future for the whole planet".
Ya, who needs to stand up for themselves? Let's just let dictators like Saddam and all them losers take over the world.

I'm afraid the only chance to rid our world of chaos, madness, and death, as well as Hilter-type dictators is by standing up to them and up for ourselves.

Besides, I'm sure neither Blair or Bush care what you think or do, anyhow.

However, Yorke won't stop there:

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has called for the band's fans to join him in a protest against George w Bush's controversial Star Wars programme.
Ya, real smart when you've got dumbnuts like North Korea building massive weapons against you.

What are you, a fan of dicatorship or something to want the loonies to control the world, and wipe it out?

But, as you know by now, Yorke is a singer, and singing is what he claims to do best.

I have my doubts, especially after reading what he has to say about his own music:

Moody rocker Thom Yorke of Radiohead never listens to the band's records - because they make him cringe.

"Every time I hear them it makes me feel ill and I have to stop."

Ya, you're not alone moron.

I'm glad you said it because the feeling's mutual.

Stop singing!

You suck, AND you know it.

But boy, is Yorke ever going to have one messed up kid after he reads this article. Yorke

...thinks people should have warned him about parenthood more.

He says, "What happens is, before you become a dad, people take you by the shoulder and tell you it's gonna change your life. And you're like, 'Oh, really?'

"But what they should be doing is grabbing the back of your head, pummeling it against the wall and telling you, 'Its! Gonna! Change! Your f***ing life! Forever!'"

This kid is going to think to himself, "My daddy doesn't love me." "I'm a burden".

F-ing 'tard. How stupid do you have to be to not know that raising kids can be hell and heaven at the same time.

By the way, I'm sure banging your head against a wall wouldn't help it sink in anyhow. Doesn't seem like there's much there to bang.

And, Yorke shows more of his moron side as he discusses his disgust for ticket scalpers.

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke is urging touts selling tickets for Friends Of The Earth's The Big Ask Live concert to donate profits to the charity. The JUST hitmaker is appalled by the number of tickets that have appeared at inflated prices on auction website eBay.co.uk, and is appealing to sellers to do the right thing and make a contribution to the cause.
Duh. Ya sure, that's why they'd scalp the tickets. To give the profits to charity.

What a f-ing idiot.

Gee, I'm doing a criminal act, so I think I'll give the money away.

Tardius Maximus.

And, in his latest music release,

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke reckons people read too much into his lyrics - many even think new album Hail to the Thief is anti-American.
Okay, if you're aren't outspokenly anti-war, anti-US, then why don't you explain what the song's about then?

Because you're full of sh*t, that's why, you anti-American tool.

But, as moronic as his words are, he claims that his band is no one's 'weird uncle', and wonders why record companies treat the group with disdain:

"We tried desperately to be normal and fit in and win friends and influence people and all that sort of thing - not at all; they still thought we were weird. I was really cheesed off that we were being confined to the weird uncle dustbin."
That's because you are weird.

Why don't you get so cheesed off about it that you head for retirement from the public eye?

And, I'm sure record companies don't want you 'cause they know you stink. You're just learning the truth now.

And, when they're not griping about their recording companies and executives, the band apparently says nothing at all:

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke is concerned fans will be disappointed if they know what his band really talk about in private - because they don't say anything at all.
Man, I wish that were true while they were in the public eye, too.

A silent Radiohead.

Now there's a dream come true.

You know, I must admit that I feel a tad sympathetic for Yorke, though, after learning that he lost the World's Sexiest Vegetarian awards to singer, Prince.

Lost to Prince (or symbol, or squiggly lines, or whatever he is now).

Got to be a real big loser to lose to Prince, eh, even if it is just a vegetarian award.

Definately worthy of the moron title.

Perhaps the reason he lost had to do with his admittance that he's no Bono when it comes to his enviro-stance:

"...the difference between me and Bono is that he's quite happy to go and flatter people to get what he wants and he's very good at it, but I just can't do it. I'd probably end up punching them in the face rather than shaking their hand, so it's best that I stay out of their way. I can't engage with that level of bullshit."
Na, the difference between Bono and you is you don't seem to have the smarts to discuss your matters in an intelligent way.

But, I'll tell you what is smart, and that's ending this article before I feel the desire to punch you out myself.

PS - your wannabe punk look doesn't go with your pussy enviro-weeny stance. Drop the charade.

Congratulations again to Dave Munger for the win.

What a moron! He can't even comb his hair or smile for the photo.

Pretty yucky, eh.

All he needs are some numbered lines behind him and that'll look like a mug shot.

Ok I messed it up here it is again a funny North Korea story

and believes any talks to cut greenhouse gas emissions would be futile.

How about that, he is absolutely correct.

Kyoto will accomplish nothing at all even if fully implemented. Maybe a difference of about a tenth of a degree over the next century.

Interesting note there is some evidence of about 0.6 degrees warming over the last century or so

If one uses the Kyoto Computer model it calculates a change during that time of 3 degrees an error of 500%

Oh and it's raining in the Sahara desert at present?

Some might say, how about the Tuvalu in the Maldives Dan? Those poor peoples home islands are SINKING

HAH what do you say to that????????

Sure they are sinking, that has been known LONG before the present global warming scam, long before the previous global cooling scam, which by the way used the SAME Computer Model

Real handy to have a method that can be used to predict opposite effects.

In any case it is WELL known in some circles that Tuvalu IS sinking

Because?

The Ocean FLOOR in that region is settling!

http://www.pacificislands.cc/pm22002/pmdefault.php?urlarticleid=0029

An environmental official of Tuvalu, Elisala Pita, is concerned with the alarmism of western eco-imperialists. In an interview in the Canadian Globe and Mail on November 24, Pita says that, "This [coastal] erosion is caused by man-made infrastructure. Tuvalu is being used for the issue of climate change. People are telling all these lies, just using Tuvalu to prove their point. No island is sinking. Tuvalu is not sinking. It is still floating." These small atolls have few natural resources, including fresh groundwater. Catch basins or desalination plants form the only fresh water available.

With such limited resources, the alarmism of western environmentalists will do nothing to help Tuvaluans. Only the scientific facts will

Radiohead rock. Tom is an alright bloke.

Why does he remind me of someone shot up all to hell with thorazine?

"cuz I'm a creep...I'm a lo-ser..."

daggon! That was a tough one!

And you did an excellent job of tearing that little monkey to shreds. Great fisking, if I don't say myself!

Thanks MM, thought you might like that one about the moonbat musician.

Dan - wow, thanks for the wealth of info and the link, would be nice if logic sunk into some enviro-wackjobs.

Thom Yorke admits he's hypocritical, that he can't kiss up to people (and wouldn't want to), and believes that global warming is in fact real and dangerous. This makes him a "moron" (yet he's the one that can't discuss things intelligently). Now THAT'S a crock of sh*t.

Why not just come out and say it: you hate Thom Yorke not for his music but because he's liberal-minded and you're of the conservative persuasion. That'd be honest. Instead, you end trying hard to sound objective and really just sound ridiculous.

Then again, a "rant" like this from someone who supports Bush (not hard to figure that one out), denies global warming, and uses a Hilter reference to support her argument is laughable in the first place. I recommend you join the Creation-Science movement, I think you would fit right in (with like-minded individuals, that is).

Also, Saddam was indeed a bad man. There are many, many bad leaders in the world with as much connection to 9/11 as Saddam, and we ignore it. But this has nothing to do with what Yorke said. He hates that Blair supports the effort to fight in a country that we now know was no threat to the US, had no WMD, and had zero connection to September 11th. But I don't really expect you to understand this, as I'm sure you're too busy making a new list of "morons."

One question though: Can your readers nominate YOU as Moron of the Week?

Oooo, Jack, insulting comments are so becoming of you.

Perhaps some of my readers will want in on this argument, so I'll leave it to them. I'm off to enjoy my weekend.

PS - I have liberal-minded friends, but I don't keep imbecilic and infantile-thinking friends. Yorke falls in that latter category, but that's just my opinion.

we now know was no threat to the US, had no WMD, and had zero connection to September 11th. But I don't really expect you to understand this, as I'm sure you're too busy making a new list of "morons."

Gee it is hard to know where to start.

Will Rogers once said it's not what folks know that's the problem, it's what they do know that ain't so.

You are a perfect case in point.

So let's start with WMDs I am afraid you are TOTALLY mistaken, or to be succinct you have been lied to and swallowed it whole.

I am just going to give some links,and clips I doubt you will even check them.

Plenty of documentary evidence of WMDs

Iraqi Documents: UNMOVIC Knew Of Renewed WMD Efforts (Updated And Bumped)

Continuing my review of the many documents released from the DocEx files over the last two days, I found yet another interesting piece of information regarding Saddam Hussein's pursuit of WMD. In a summary of a larger document, the translators found that Iraq had restarted its processing of castor-bean extraction, from which ricin can be developed -- and that UNMOVIC discovered it in December 2002.

From CMPC-2003-003766-HT.pdf, with line breaks and emphases mine:

Ricin toxin is found in the bean of the castor plant. UNMOVIC inspections since December 2002 have verified that the bombed caster oil extraction plant at Fallujah III has been reconstructed on a larger scale.

Saddam's Idea Of Diplomatic Pouches

Another DocEx document has a strange take on diplomacy under Saddam Hussein's brutal regime. A top-secret roster of Iraqi Intelligence Service projects for 2003 shows some interesting, inventive, and disturbing initiatives that only the American invasion stopped. From CMPC-2003-005745.pdf:

# Use of diplomatic briefcases as an explosive device that can not be detected using an X Ray device

# Sabotaging airplane fuel

# Development of a research project for self igniting chemical mixtures to be used in acts of sabotage

# Project for camouflaging a long range explosive device using a stick [or crutch]

Not on WMDS but a fundamental violation of the Cease Fire Accords

Iraqi Documents: Kuwaiti POWs Used As Human Shields

This story has been reported before, but the captured IIS documents contains the actual orders from Qusai Hussein directing the Republican Guard to take Kuwaiti prisoners illegally held for twelve years and use them as human shields at strategic locations. Document CMPC-2003-012666.pdf shows the brutal callousness that became the hallmark of the Hussein family:

Dr. Germ Analyzes Aircraft BW Attack Requirements In 2002

For those who continue to reject evidence of Saddam Hussein's pursuit of WMD programs, the document released yesterday by the FMSO DocEx project makes it a much more difficult proposition. Document CMPC-2003-004346 reveals that Dr. Rehab Rasheed Taha, otherwise known as Dr. Germ, prepared an analysis in 2002 of how to spread biological weapons material using an aircraft as the medium, and how far they had advanced on the application:

In the name of God, most Merciful, most Compassionate

THE BIOLOGICAL COMMITTEE DECISION

Note there is also documentary evidence of coordination between Saddam and Al Quedar to target Americans with terrorist attacks.

Now as for Global scamming? I just put some stuff on Winds of Change.

http://www.windsofchange.net/archives/008766.php#c82

Here is a small sample

linton made a big splash about it that is true.

"On July 24, 1997, President Clinton held a press conference at which he announced that the catastrophic effects of man's use of fossil fuels was now an accepted scientific fact, not a theory. To underline this, he produced a list stated as being of 2,500 scientists who had approved the 1996 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report preparing the ground for Kyoto. That sounded conclusive, and most of the world at large accepted it as such"

But they forgot to tell the public about the 4000 scientists including 70 Nobel Prize winners who issued a

"condemnation of irrational ideologies opposed to scientific and industrial progress."


"Nor do the media publicize the Leipzig Declaration, based on an international symposium held in Germany in November 1995, which contains the statements "there does not exist today a general scientific consensus about the importance of greenhouse warming" and "we cannot subscribe to the politically inspired worldview that envisages climate catastrophes and calls for hasty actions." This was reissued in 1997 prior to the climate treaty conference due to be held in Kyoto in December, signed by almost a hundred atmospheric specialists, and carried the caveat "we consider the drastic emission control policies likely to be endorsed by the Kyoto conference—lacking credible support from the underlying science—to be ill-advised and premature." 161

"So how did atmospheric physicists, climatic specialists, and others with scientific credentials feel about the issue? To find out, Dr. Arthur Robinson, president and research professor of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, also publisher of the newsletter Access to Energy, in February 1998, conducted a survey of the professional field by circulating a petition calling for the government to reject the Kyoto agreement of December 1997, on the grounds that it would harm the environment, hinder science, and damage human health and welfare; that there was no scientific evidence that greenhouse gases were or were likely to cause disruption of the climate; and on the contrary there was substantial evidence that such release would in fact be beneficial. 165 After six months the petition had collected over seventeen thousand signatures.

At about the same time the German Meteorologisches Institut Universitat Hamburg and Forschungszentium, in a survey of specialists from various branches of the climate sciences, found that 67 percent of Canadian scientists rejected the notion that any warming due to human activity is occurring, while in Germany the figure was 87 percent, and in the US, 97 percent. 166 Some consensus for Kyoto!"


Your problem is you get most of your information from Loony Left Soundbites

If you say the same thing loud enough and often enough it still doesn't make it true.

Bush NEVER said Iraq and Al Quedar collaborated on 9/11 he did put forth the premise there was a danger of that in the future and from the documents released so far that was TRUE

David Kay the Inspector stated in his testimony before the Senate
http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/archive/index.php/t-1638.html

"
"I think the world is far safer with the disappearance and the removal of Saddam Hussein. I have said I actually think this may be one of those cases where it was even more dangerous than we thought. I think when we have the complete record you're going to discover that after 1998 it became a regime that was totally corrupt. Individuals were out for their own protection. And in a world where we know others are seeking WMD, the likelihood at some point in the future of a seller and a buyer meeting up would have made that a far more dangerous country than even we anticipated with what may turn out not to be a fully accurate estimate"

Aliens Cause Global Warming
By Michael Crichton


Caltech Michelin Lecture
January 17, 2003

Just a taste

"Further attacks since, have made it clear what is going on. Lomborg is
charged with heresy. That's why none of his critics needs to substantiate
their attacks in any detail. That's why the facts don't matter. That's why
they can attack him in the most vicious personal terms. He's a heretic.

Of course, any scientist can be charged as Galileo was charged. I just never
thought I'd see the Scientific American in the role of Mother Church.

Is this what science has become? I hope not. But it is what it will become,
unless there is a concerted effort by leading scientists to aggressively
separate science from policy. The late Philip Handler, former president of
the National Academy of Sciences, said that "Scientists best serve public
policy by living within the ethics of science, not those of politics. If the
scientific community will not unfrock the charlatans, the public will not
discern the difference-- science and the nation will suffer." Personally, I
don't worry about the nation. But I do worry about science."

"I remind you that in the lifetime of most scientists now living, we have
already had an example of dire predictions set aside by new technology. I
refer to the green revolution. In 1960, Paul Ehrlich said, "The battle to
feed humanity is over. In the 1970s the world will undergo famines-hundreds
of millions of people are going to starve to death." Ten years later, he
predicted four billion people would die during the 1980s, including 65
million Americans. The mass starvation that was predicted never occurred,
and it now seems it isn't ever going to happen. Nor is the population
explosion going to reach the numbers predicted even ten years ago. In 1990,
climate modelers anticipated a world population of 11 billion by 2100.
Today, some people think the correct number will be 7 billion and falling.
But nobody knows for sure."

You would think after a total failure like that Ehrlich would be discredited as an idiot, but no he is a major spokesman for Global Warming. His last Disaster Scam

Sam You know that if glogal warming is occuring and the only people who believe it move, guess where those people are going to move?

Samantha, I hereby nominate YOU for Moron of the Week, Month, and Year. And I’d like to file a complaint of false advertising, as the hate you spew is lacking of any witticism and humor that your banner proclaims. No argument about the crazy part though, you come off like an Ann Coulter wanna-be, which I guess is a huge compliment to you, as you obviously want to be her. Mission Accomplished.

Oh... oh... look at me, shedding a tear.

Whatever.

Thom Yorke admits he's hypocritical, that he can't kiss up to people (and wouldn't want to), and believes that global warming is in fact real and dangerous. This makes him a "moron" (yet he's the one that can't discuss things intelligently). Now THAT'S a crock of sh*t.

==============================================
Totally agree with everything you said...and who the hell is Samantha Burns anyways, what complete idiot. Thom is against fighting an unncecesary war...and how does that make him a moron? And admitting to being a hypocrite, that just makes him an honest person who doesn't try to cover up his shortcomings. This is the worst , most biased article I have ever read.

XD

That was hilarious. *applauds* You really are special. I'm amazed you can still type with your brain unhooked.
