Beaker is the hapless assistant to Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.

Dr. Honeydew’s experiments and inventions always seem to go awry, and Beaker is their perpetual victim, but he always comes back for more

The more stuff I found about the Muppets the more I started to suspect that it is actually a big joke about Maltese politics.

2011, thanks for agreeing with me in principle.

Now, let me give you an amateurish definition of a no-fly zone. Its a zone which is carefully covered up so that the flies do not sit on it.

Ezatt, dan hu l-principju. Medjazzjoni ma tista’ ssir qatt fil-Libja ghaliex il-ksur tad-drittijiet fundamentali ma jistghux jigu medjati.

U dan li missu qal John Dalli. Imma mid-dehra hawn min ihares biss lejn dak li jmiss il-but.

Jista’ xi hadd ifisser ezatt xi tfisser ‘no-fly zone’?

Lou, I think the point is beyond that. If we live in a free and civilised world, then there is nothing to mediate and negotiate with terrorists and criminals.

They’ve also offered him somewhere to hide:

In Libya’s case this is simply absent. Gaddafi cannot live with a democratic nation and free citizens. And vice versa.

Is it possible that only a few remember Churchill’s reaction to the “Peace in our time” statement on the airstrip when Chamberlain waved his “agreement” with Hitler on emerging from the plane?

Is it posssible that there are people who think and feel that appeasement with people like Gaddafi is remotely possible?

My idea is: get all those expatriates who want to get out of Libya; then go for him – call his bluff. If he is well organized (as he said) he would not have called in the mercenaries and the desert tribes; he wouldn’t have given arms to the ordinary man-in-the street. Think.

Dak il-bozza tal-elf. You should have heard him at the very beginning of the programme. He said something along these lines: I have to say this but the British only said thank you in parliament.

They should have been more concrete and told us how they are going to help us. Not to mention the ex-ambassador who stopped short of saying that we should kiss the PL’s feet for not creating any problems for the government. Couldn’t care to watch any longer.

Ah, another reliable source of street drugs – Nicaragua.

Is Gaddafi mixing up Al Qaeda with Ortega?

Time for KMB to set him straight.
