‘There will be a reckoning. When the worm turns, and the people rise — and they will; I’m becoming ever more convinced of it — there will be a reckoning of such fury that the flames will be visible from the Moon.

This cannot go on…and it will not.’

Mr. Porretto is a writer and thinker I have enormous respect for, but it seems increasingly unlikely to me that there will be anything like an uprising against intrusive, unlawful and arrogant government and bureaucracy. We’ve reached the point where people are numb to the latest outrage, as insult upon insult is piled on at an increasing rate. And those who aren’t numb to it are either unaware or indifferent. Will there be a spark which will become a conflagration?

Blame Medusa for these!
I’ve heard that Apple have scrapped their plans for the new children’s iPod after
realizing that iTouch Kids is not a good product name.

There’s a new Muslim clothing shop opened in Toronto but I’ve been banned from it
after asking to look at some bomber jackets

You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles but at least they drive slowly past
schools

A mate of mine has just told me he’s shagging his girlfriend and her twin..
I said “How can you tell them apart?” He said “Her brother’s got a moustache”

Just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche & mentioned it on FaceBook.
I said “I can’t wait for the new 911 to arrive !” Next thing I know 4000 Muslims
have added me as a friend !!

Being a modest man, when I checked into my hotel on a recent trip, I said to the
lady at the registration desk …
“I hope the porn channel in my room is disabled.”
To which she replied, “No, it’s regular porn, you sick bastard.”

The red cross have just knocked at our door and ask if we could help towards the
floods in Pakistan , I said we would love to, but our hose only reaches to the
bottom of the garden.

‘Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.
In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer’s entry.
“We believe … a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence,” David said. “We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest.”…’

“Allowing” resistance?? Since when was it the business of judges to allow or disallow the exercise of a citizen’s rights? And here’s an idea–if the judges wish to avoid “unnecessarily escalating the level of violence”, then the best way to do that would be to insist that police officers abide by the fucking law!
These unelected elitist bastards are busily chipping away at ancient liberties and it’s time they were given a wake-up call.

‘Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle aired their grievances Thursday about a draft proposal from the White House that makes federal contractors disclose their political contributions.
“Doing this ahead of the fact; doing this ahead of the contract award and having that information out there can serve no other purpose than to be politically motivated,” Rep. Sam Graves, R-Mo. said at a joint hearing of the House oversight and small business committees…’                                                source

It’s the Chicago Way.

‘ASKED in July 2009, in the aftermath of the Gaza War, if Australia would deal with the Palestinian government if Hamas were to be included, Julia Gillard was unequivocal in her response: “Hamas obviously is a terrorist organisation that has been engaged in violent actions against the Israeli people, and in order to be part of any process it needs to completely renounce that violence.”
So it should stand to reason that following the announcement last week that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah group and rival Hamas had agreed to end their long-standing feud and form a unity government, the Australian government must re-assess its relations with the Palestinian Authority.
But in Tuesday night’s budget, it was announced that ”Australian aid to the Palestinian territories and Palestinian refugees in surrounding regions will double to around $70 million per annum by 2012-13”…’  via Andrew Bolt

The recent federal election (August, 2010) gave us something that had not been seen in this nation for a very long time, a hung parliament. To be more precise, the electorate had voted that neither the Labor Party nor the Liberal/National coalition were worthy of government in their own right.

But what brought this ‘cliffhanger’ of an election about? What were the issues that caused the Australian voter to not re-elect the previous Labor administration outright or endorse the coalition?

so muslims are allowed to pray in the streets. So far, over 500 have drowned. It’s a tragedy, of course. (thanks, Marc)

‘MP Hone Harawira is blaming racism and “rednecks” for the cancellation of a lecture he was to give at Auckland University last night.
As a threatened protest of up to 170 students against “racial separatism” loomed, the law faculty cancelled the lecture – organised by the Maori Law Students Association – fearing a breach of the peace….’                   source
