A report has been announced, not released, just announced, but the press is reporting on it and commenting regardless, sight unseen. Especially SBS.
Apparently a survey has determined that 10% of Australians are racist. Now, to me, that 90% are not is the big news. That must make us the most tolerant people in the known [...]

Intellectual dishonesty
It’s up
Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) announces that Flight 4 of the Falcon 1 launch vehicle has successfully launched and achieved Earth orbit. With this key milestone, Falcon 1 becomes the first privately developed liquid fuel rocket to orbit the Earth.
That’s it, a private launch vehicle has ejected a satellite into orbit - from here on [...]
Private Decisions
I didn’t join the feeding frenzy over the news that the daughter of Omar Bakri Mohammed was a fairly normal sort of person. More to the point, I felt sorry for her over that bastard of a boyfriend who outed her to the Daily Mail, and hatred for the callous way the Mail exposed her [...]
Mutual tolerance
More than 150 people have signed petitions imploring Luton Borough Council to deny the new Tesco Express in Bury Park an alcohol licence.
The bid from the supermarket giant has upset Muslims living in the area, some of whom say they find the idea of alcohol being sold offensive.
No one is asking them to buy or drink [...]
Green Kills
(Massachusetts) Governor Patrick says there’s a real possibility that people in America could freeze to death this winter due to the soaring cost of home heating fuel.
(…)
Patrick said the cost of heating a home — whether by electricity, gas or oil — is expected to cost between 20 and 31 percent more than a year ago. He [...]

More famous than Lindsay Lohan?

Consistency
One of my (many) problems with Barackkk was his misrepresentations and lack of understanding on emerging defense technology. He flipped before he flopped -
This is going to piss of a load of his supporters. He must have been briefed by someone who knew what they were talking about.  Â
John Barleycorn, Nicotine and the Temptations of Eve
I am of the generation which once liked to imagine itself as having invented sex, drugs and rock and roll. I might concede you rock and roll, or at least concede that to my parents, but even my great grand parents were well aware of an earlier variant, namely Cigareets & Whuskey and Wild Wild [...]
Prague
I’m currently holidaying in Central Europe.
On my last night in Prague, a few days ago, I was hurrying through Wenceslas Square to get onto the Metro for my train to Poland and I clocked the memorial to Jan Palach and Jan Zajic. I’d missed it the first time round and was so glad that just [...]
Genius loves company
Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis and Fats Domino - jamming out the boogie. Damn this is good.
Murderous lying bastards
Remember Imadinnerjacket boasting that there are no homosexuals in Iran?

“Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through,â€
And as we all know, the left are such nice people. Nuanced too.
Euro NeoFascism
The soft fascism of the EuroLeft takes another step. As anyone who follows the stories about the one step at a time elimination of our freedoms in the name of these puerile rights things will know, some lefty EU would be gaulieter from Estonia is wetting herself over the idea that people, bloggers, are expressing [...]
There is such a thing as a free lunch
You remember this? Where Tower Hamlets Council sought to pre emptively dhimmify the town councillors by requiring the non Muslims to observe the Ramadan fast? Well, seems the Chinese are also taking note of Ramadan, and are celebrating it by demonstrating that well known and traditional Chinese sense of humour -
Chinese authorities in the northwestern [...]
Chemical Weapons
Wired discusses this. Those dastardly Israelis have come up with an artificial skunk juice which seems extraordinarily effective at dispersing crowds. Now we know that the anti Israeli mob will start screaming about the use of chemical weapons, but consider this when they do -
Greenies use chemical weapons
ANTI-whaling activists admit to throwing about 12 stink [...]
