Care for your environment

Well, Bolt got a heads up (fuckin’ yesterday) on this, but anyway.

So apart from windmills not liking too much wind, apart from the backup, that is, conventional power stations still needed, despite the pathetic average capacity and cost/benefit ratio these monstrous lumps of steel produce, and the CO2 expended to produce them, now, in the limited roll-out they’ve had so far, they’re also turning roads (and even bridges) to shit. Hmmm, whatever happened?

Meanwhile, remember these?

You fucking eco-morons.

Illegal immigration resurfaces

Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd can deny it all he likes, but since abolishing the Pacific Solution, and thus being far more lenient to asylum seekers coming to Australia, the number of boat people trying to reach Australian shores has seen a sharp rise in recent months. Yes, that’s another 35 caught of the West Australian coast just today.

At least Sharman Stone, Opposition Immigration and Citizenship spokeswoman is trying to hold Rudd to account yet Turnbull’s silence has been deafening.

And this situation doesn’t look like it’s going to improve any time soon, either. Take this. It has been suggested some people currently in detention centres should be released, even though they haven’t been properly identified. And to think, some in the so-called Opposition are going for this one, too. All this in the same breath as we watched in horror this week the Mumbai attacks.

Add to that, just how are Australia’s waters meant to be patrolled properly when the navy has been ordered to shut down for two months over Christmas, just as numbers of illegal immigrants are rising again?

And to top it all off, corrupt Indonesian officials, where many of the people smugglers operate out of, have been selling fake visas!

Yes, this debate should ignite again.

Pull your head out of the sand, Rudd. And start living up to your namesake, Turnbull (hint: Opposition).

Virtually slashed

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Shaking hands with yourself is an amusing out-of-body experience. The illusion of having your stomach slashed with a kitchen knife, not so much.

Meanwhile, in other virtual news, it was reported a few weeks back that a British couple is getting divorced for cyber-adultery.

Weird. And speaking of weird, who can forget this Japanese man who wanted to marry his comic book wife?

Still, at least someone, from the younger generations no less, can still see the benefits in doing things the old-fashioned way sometimes, too (cripes that just made me sound old!).

Not sure if this is news, but some planned parenthood clinics are failing to report statutory rape.
