I’m just fine thank you. Busy with some things before heading to the USA (only a few days away now).
Politics. Culture. Motorcycles.

I’m so happy my old home town is to be delivered from damnation:
A US evangelist family say they will save Darwin from alcoholism and sexually transmitted diseases when they move there later this year.
The Gibbs family, who are Baptists from Southern Carolina, said on their online “aussiebound” blog that they are planning on setting up a church in the “unreached city”.
“Though the government tries to combat these problems with social programs, we as Christians know that it is only Christ who can truly heal this territory.”
The family — which includes Adam, his wife Bethany and their daughter Michaela — has asked supporters to pray for their visas, the NT News reports.
They have also revealed that they are organising accommodation with a family who live in Palmerstone in Darwin’s east.
When they arrive in Australia, the Gibbs family plan to “begin planting a church in Darwin through evangelistic crusades, letter boxing and other mediums” and “train both Australians and Asians for full-time Christian service”.
How are people this bugfuck crazy able to dress themselves in the morning?
If you’re going to do an embarrassingly bad “comedy” act at a celebrity roast, make sure Jamie Foxx isn’t nearby.
Ouch.
Israeli rescue teams have been busy pulling people out of the rubble in Haiti.
The Islamists, on the other hand, are offering their “solidarity“.
Well, it’s the thought that counts. Figuring out how to help the Haitians without using suicide bombers or launching rockets has proven tougher than expected I guess.
Unemployed wannabe celebrity Arthur Kade has an announcement:
Australia has now embraced Arthur Kade, and can be referred to as Kadestralia.
The more I read of this mong, the more I’m thinking this has gotta be some kind of performance art hoax. Nobody could be that pathetic, surely.
Well, except this idiot.
The Islamic Solidarity Games Federation, based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has canceled this year’s event, which was scheduled to be held in Tehran in April, because its Iranian counterpart refused to remove the phrase “Persian Gulf” from the event’s promotional material and medals.
[...]
Created in 2005 to help bolster relations between Muslim countries, the games had already been pushed back from October 2009 to April 2010 amid conflicting reports of fears concerning swine flu and tensions about the words “Persian Gulf.”
The debate between Arabian Peninsula countries and Iran over what to call the body of water that lies between them goes beyond cartography. Experts say it mirrors a regional power struggle that has raged for close to 50 years and continues to be played out in international bodies and on college campuses around the world.
I guess this is Israel’s fault as well.

The world’s largest mosque won’t be going ahead:
Plans to build a giant mosque near London’s 2012 Olympic stadium have collapsed after local authorities said Monday an Islamic group failed to submit a planning application in time.
Must be the Zionists’ doing.
Pity. I bet the local residents were keen to have their eardrums assaulted by wailing muezzins all day long.
