Right. I tend to see "lame argument" as sufficient of a cliche to rate as an idiom, but my wife (who has published a significant paper on "frozen idioms") assures me that since the phrase is morphologically transparent it can't be an idiom, and you are entirely correct. Thanks.

You undermine anything reasonable you might rarely have to say when you use the term "anti-Israeli activists" to refer to leaders of terror organizations who recruit suicide bombers to murder and maim as many unsuspecting and non-combatant Israeli civilians as possible, and when you refer to the most clear example of strategic self-defense by Israel as "state terrorism"-and to think just a few posts ago you were whining about the big bad IRA blowing away some informer weasel and the Anglican minister with brain matter on his shoes being warned to leave the country. I wager you wouldn't be saddened by any Irish collateral damage in a military crackdown on that form of terrorist.

I hope that's a grammatical error, Bill.

It was. The sentence should have been
"And a taste for even weaker jokes than those John Woodgate favours."
