Oh great: North Korean nuclear news

Old news but being reiterated today; North Korea has between five and eight nuclear warheads. This is according to Daniel Pinkston, of the International Crisis Group, who quotes un-named agencies (but probably the US). The missiles can be loaded onto Rodong missiles capable of reaching Japan. If true, Japan may go nuclear, too.

(H/T). US Congressional report here (16-page PDF).

Is this one of the international crises Biden was referring to?

One query: the first link in this post is from 2006, and quotes US sources. The second link quotes un-named sources. Anything to declare, President Obama?

Cultural Mashup: Kosher Tequila

Once or twice a year I’ll have some top-shelf tequila – usually on my birthday – and I have become quite a connoisseur of fine tequila over the years, so I suffered a serious brain cramp reading this.

“Long Island, NY – A New York businessman is launching a new kosher tequila in time for Cinco de Mayo.

Martin Silver says Agave 99 will be on the market in time for the holiday that celebrates Mexico’s defeat of French forces on May 5, 1862.”

OK, am I the only one who had no earthly idea that there was pent up demand from observant Jews for kosher tequila to drink to celebrate Mexican Independence Day? I mean seriously; Oy vey, Jose!?

The mind boggles.

Biden was right!!

It galls me to say it but hairplugs got at least one thing right about Obama.

 

“Mark my words,” Biden told donors at a Seattle fund-raiser Sunday night.

“It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.

“Watch. We’re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.

“And he’s going to need help . . . to stand with him. Because it’s not going to be apparent initially; it’s not going to be apparent that we’re right.”

Were screwed!

Hellloooo Vlad the lad.

Russia to create Arctic troops to defend ice treasures

This probably isnt going to end well.

 

More under the fold.

Did you observe Earth Hour? Al Gore didn’t bother.

Well, after the sucess of An Inconvenient Truth, he hardly has to worry about the electricity bill. It seems he’s not worried about climate change, either. The lights might have been turned off at your house but they weren’t at his. Let’s hope you didn’t pay to see his shockumentary.

Now this is well done

Ok first Im going to post the “offical” report of the incident, under the fold is the less than complimetary original report.

This is possibly the best report Ive ever seen, the editing ability of the officer who put in the offical report is legendary….

 

nice

Sunday Brunch

Nothing fancy this week. Think I’ll just stick to a cheeseburger…

Celebrate Human Achievement Hour! (Al Gore UPDATE!)

To correspond with, “Earth Hour” The Competitive Enterprise Institute has organized Human Achievement Hour. So, when the leftards are turning off all their lights – an hour from now – I’m going to boot up all four computers in the house, connect them all to my AirPort Extreme Base Station, have one monitoring my eMail, one downloading pr0n, one streaming audio, and I’ll surf on the remaining one (The PowerMac G5 2.3 GHz Dual Core/23″ Cinema HD Display model that draws about 250-300 watts of electricity), while watching TV in a window to the right.

Simultaneously, I’m going to turn on every light in the house, turn the thermostat up to 78 degrees, and open every door to the outside so I’m heating the entire neighborhood. Then, I’ll fire up the gas grill in the back yard and grill a couple of steaks.

I HOPE I’m setting a good example for CHANGE.

UPDATE: Evidentally, Al Gore, that champion of Teh Earth, followed my lead and left his tree-illuminating flood lights on during Teh Earth Hour.

“The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights grandly highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway entrance of Gore’s mansion.

I [kid] [shit – Beef] you not, my friends, the savior of the environment couldn’t be bothered to turn off the gaudy lights that show off his goofy trees.”

I’m only shamed by the fact that Al used more electricity and emitted more carbon than I did during Teh Earth Hour.

NOTE TO RICHARD RYAN: You have been warned many, many times in the past 12 months that if you keep up your harassment of people on this blog, we reserve the right to print selected comments of yours in full, including your various email addresses and IP addresses, and also to contact your ISP(s) and/or other relevant authorities.  The fact that you have continued even after that warning would seem to imply that you consent to these comments being made public.

§ § § § §

Part #1

Because of a huge recent influx of vile comments from the same deranged idiot (Richard Ryan, who usually  uses IPs in the Telstra/Dodo 58.163.13x.xxx and 149.135.11x.xxx ranges but has since expanded his IP ranges), I thought it prudent to continue documenting the worst of them in one place.  To keep the pages from taking ages to load, I’ve divided them into sections.

So, here are a few select highlights of the hundreds received thus far.  Not reprinted are those pre-July ’08, before we realized what a persistent, obsessive madman he would turn out to be, or the many that Tim Blair, Andrew Bolt and others continually have to delete from their blogs (both are aware of the stalking that’s been going on for almost a year now and the games Ryan plays, including impersonating a “normal” commenter (often myself) and complaining about “that awful Richard Ryan” among other weird things in an attempt to get published – who knows how the insane mind works…).

I would ask that if any of my fellow editors see any more like these in our comment/spam queue, either send me a screencap (press “Ctrl” and “PrtSc” simultaneously to put it on your clipboard, paste it into a graphics program and save as a .jpg)  – I’m collecting them in case things get even more out of hand, i.e. especially if he succeeds in finding me “in real life,”  as it appears attempts have already been made in that direction.  Thanks.

Just FYI, the comments referring to cancer are aimed at the fact that he knows that yes, I have been ill, and no, I am not interested in blogging on it just now, preferring in my case to keep the Internet a CFZ (cancer-free zone).   The comments referring to “Ash” refer to our main blog administrator, who tragically died in a car accident in January ’09.

Sorry couldnt find a working embed so youll have to follow the link…. if you dare.

I wish Id thought of this one.

From the local rag, theyve had a comments section on Earth hour, “What will you do for earth hour”.

To WA’s credit more than half are snarky “bugger alls”, however buried in it was this gem

Hes reffering to this

The effort over more than two days to save 87 whales at Hamelin Bay, 280km from Perth, has almost ended, with fewer than 10 believed to have survived.

Im in awe of the snark generated by that one comment, its beautiful.

Pizza pizaz

JFTR, like last Sunday’s brunch, this is sarcastic. Still, each to their own and, well, it sells. Domino’s Pizza… Korea.

You Yanks have the same?

JFTR they do have pepperoni.

PS All the beef and pepperoni is from Australia. Koreans still aren’t mad about American cows (and whatever the hell goes into pepperoni [don’t wanna know, it’s yum]) even if they are about 30 per cent cheaper (yes, it’s back on supermarket shelves here).

Carbon captured

Hot off the press! Carbon capture for Gaia-raping coal-fired power stations is now possible! Think of it as a tissue for Gaia.

Gaia wipes away her tears! Rudd can finally implement his CPRS caper. The ultimate liberation of our tax dollars, taxing the air we breathe, once just a mere pipe dream, is finally only a hop, skip, and a jump away. Thank you, Al Gore. Thank you, Great Leader Kevin Rudd.

EXCLUSIVE

Tizona’s weblog has a leaked document of just what this carbonering capturing techamalogical technology will look like once Rudd implements it (after he’s finished selling us out to China).

KRudd is the biggest fuckwit in Australia. No doubt.

Ive been keeping an eye on this story for a while, and had argued with a lefty mate that not even KRudd could be stupid enough to sign up for this particular UN treaty.

 

I was wrong.

 

Mr KRudd has effectively made 90% of Australians second class citizens in their own country. Bear with me, as I pick apart the treaty that is related to this news item, and its likely devastatingimpact on Australia.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/03/26/2527177.htm

Australia to support UN Indigenous rights declaration

Australia will next week officially back the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, reversing the Howard Government’s vote against it in 2007.

Indigenous Affairs Minister Jenny Macklin will make a statement on Australia’s change in position on April 3 at Parliament House in Canberra. ….

….Australia was a key player in drafting the declaration in the 1980s and 90s but the Howard government eventually chose to vote against it in 2007.

It was one of only four countries including the United States, Canada and New Zealand to do so.

 

Great weve signed up for a treaty so excremental not even Canada or New Zealand would sign it…..

We are so screwed

Below the fold for the longer version.

Smaller but still a bargain

One of Australia’s favourite snacks, twisties, now comes with 10 per cent less in the packet. Same price of course.

They are still a bargain, however. Check it out.

Coles, in Brisbane’s Myers Centre, were yesterday selling the 45kg and 50kg bags at a retail price of $1.29.

When blogs do it better…

Well, we all know about blogs often kicking the MSM’s butt when it comes to finding the news you need to hear. So what’s the MSM to do?

Perhaps take an “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” approach.

Failblog does it better but my hometown rag is at least trying.

Dear Leader Kevin Keeps Kwiet.

So our fave meeja whore, PM to the stars, had a meeting with the Chinese minister for propaganda.

I find it intriguing that someone so keen to bignote himself sees the need to play this one down.

When asked why such an important meeting would be kept from the Australian media at such a crucial time in the bilateral relationship, a spokeswoman for Mr Rudd told The Australian: “It was a private meeting between the two. It is not the Prime Minister of Australia’s role to put out a press release announcing what every visiting politician is doing.”

Especially when the Chinese are trying to buy up Australian resources.

I wonder when Dear Leader will release the contract signing us into bondage to the Chicoms.

All in the name of Progress, of course. After all, Kevvie’s great mates have plenty of form in that direction.

Well done, Kevin (you fuckhead)

It’s sickeningly ironic. In his efforts to stop Australians accessing the nastiest shit out there on the web, Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, has made a collection of it all in one handy place that anyone on the planet with an Internet connection can now easily access thanks to it invariably being leaked.

Old news, sure.  I just wanted to say Fuck You Rudd You Stupid Fucking Lefty Twat.

Not only is some of the worst illegal stuff out there more easily accessible now, other sites which are nowhere near illegal are also on Kevin’s blacklist. Result? Average citizens’ freedoms stripped away. More freedom for those who strip others’ freedoms away.

EPIC FAIL KEVIN

UPDATE

A few minor changes have been made to the post.

UPDATE II

It turns out that blacklist is about nine years old. So, sorry on that one Kevin. Still, it begs the question as to why this wasn’t made abundantly clear from the beginning.

Julia unleashed.

Spider of the Day

Brazilian Wandering Spider

One of the most deadly spiders in the world was found in the produce section of an upscale Oklahoma grocery store.

[…]  Patients not only experience overall pain and an increase in blood pressure, they also get an uncomfortable erection.

In Brazil, emergency room staff can immediately spot the victims of a bite.

Heh.

UPDATE: Hey, Look!  Wozza has more spiders – Australian spider funnies 😉

Sunday Brunch

Well, since this is an international blog, I thought I’d give this week’s Sunday brunch an international flavour. And what better place to start than good ol’ Korea? The country which builds so many of the world’s cars, container ships, the biggest supertankers, not to mention all those cool electronic devices,has undergone massive Westernization in recent decades. But what powers those folks through the day? Where does the energy come from to kick our arses when it comes to this stuff? Well, from something like what we see below. Click here to see what comprises the photo you are looking at now.

All done with metal chopsticks, too!

Perjurer goes to gaol.

This may seem petty but I’m extremely glad convicted perjurer Marcus Einfeld has gone to gaol. This apparent pillar of society accused me, and the people I worked with of being no better than the following picture.

He told multiple lies of both fact and omission while doing so, but being a “pillar of society” and supporting the lefty side of the debate, he was not refuted as he should have been.

Below the fold is a minor Fisking of just one speech he gave on the area I happen to have a great deal of knowledge about. Detention services. There is at least an essays worth there, but I don’t feel the urge to refute every one of this convicted liars claims.

More below.
