    Clinton appointment met with overwhelming response


    by Rumbold on 2nd December, 2008 at 9:55 PM    

    Reports the Daily Mash:

    “Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni, and the leaders of Hamas and Fata made a video conference call to Mrs Clinton stressing there was absolutley no need for her to get involved when she becomes Secretary of State. Livni said: “Everything’s fine. These guys are a hoot, I love them. We’re actually thinking about going skiing together.”

    With her Palestinian counterparts nodding vigorously in the background, Livni added: “So there’s really no need for you to come here at all. Why not try India and Pakistan?” But last night the Indian and Pakistani governments stressed they were making excellent progress towards a lasting solution and that Mrs Clinton would really be wasting her time. A Pakistani government spokesman said: “Loving the Indians. Nice people, helluva cricket team. Perhaps Mrs Clinton should focus on Africa.”"

      ‘A Sudanese government spokesman said: “It’s all good here. Never better. Darfur? Darfun more like. Seriously we’re fine, go and talk to Russia.”‘

      Sunny.
      I notice that you have been attacked by Richard “I can see Kashmir from my house” Seymour.

      To cheer you up you may like to look at the following exchange,where after, yes after writing an article on Indias Muslims and Mumbai, the great theorist was still under the impression that 2/3 of the Muslim community lives in Kashmir.

      Points taken, but just to clarify on the question of population, this is the passage I’m referring to:

      The Muslim minority is dispersed all over the country,
      with a large concentration in Jammu & Kashmir (67.0 per cent) and
      West Bengal (25.2 per cent), and with lower concentrations in other
      states.

      lenin, that passage says that 67% of the population of J&K are Muslim, not that 67% of Muslims live in J&K, I’d say. Which fits with what lazynative wrote.

      Well, bollocks to statistics! I started today knowing nothing about this, and now I’m gonna fall over on some numbers? The world knew I was cranky this morning did this to me on purpose. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck.
