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.

This is priceless:

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.

Fucking wankers:

As international aid agencies rush food, water and medicine to Haiti’s earthquake victims, a United States group is sending Bibles.

But these aren’t just any Bibles; they’re solar-powered audible Bibles that can broadcast the holy scriptures in Haitian Creole to 300 people at a time.

The Faith Comes By Hearing organisation says its Bible, called the Proclaimer, delivers “digital quality” and is designed for “poor and illiterate people”.

It says 600 of the devices are already on their way to Haiti.

The Albuquerque-based organisation says it is responding to the Haitian crisis by “providing faith, hope and love through God’s word in audio”.

The audio Bible can bring the “hope and comfort that comes from knowing God has not forgotten them through this tragedy,” a statement on its website says.

“The Proclaimer is self-powered and can play the Bible in the jungle, desert or … even on the moon!”

Tens of thousands of Port-au-Prince residents are living outdoors because their homes have collapsed or they fear aftershocks following Wednesday’s quake.

Good thing they didn’t send anything useless, like food or medical supplies, otherwise those Haitians would really be in the shit.

Oh yes….this group has a website.

As a serious pizza aficionados, me and my missus were keen to try out Pizza Mario in Surry Hills, an establishment which is an accredited member of the Vera Pizza Napoletana Association. This means they only make “authentic” Neapolitan-style pizza, which pretty much bears zero resemblance to the stuff you find at any dial-a-pizza joint.

Mine was the “Salamino”: a “white” pizza (no tomato sauce) featuring mozzarella & ricotta cheese, and premium-grade salami.

It was superb, and went beautifully with a glass of chilled Rosé.

The missus was equally pleased with her “Margherita” (tomato, mozzarella, parmesan and basil).

Service was quick and friendly.

If you’re after a “real” gourmet pizza experience, this place is definitely worth your time.

I just spent three days in Sydney, during which time I paid two visits to the San Churro chocolateria.

If you’ve never had hot churros dipped in chocolate, you’ve missed out on one of life’s great guilty pleasures. Never had churros? Think of a hot, crunchy, stick-shaped donut, only better.

I’d argue you’ve also never drunk a proper hot chocolate until you’ve had their version of it. So thick and rich you’d almost call it a soup, it requires a glass of water on the side to prevent palate overload.

I’d recommend the spectacular “Azteca” variant: a dark drinking choc mixed with chili and cinnamon. It must be a spectacular winter drink.

Good thing I was walking it all off for three days…..

Number 12 is astounding.

Another brilliant socialist success story:

The Venezuelan military shut down 70 firms, including a European-backed supermarket, apparently fulfilling a pledge to close businesses that raise prices after a massive currency devaluation.

The government of leftist President Hugo Chavez asked the National Guard to close the stores for alleged “irregularities,” state-run news agency ABN said.

A Caracas branch of French-backed supermarket Exito, was earlier closed for 24 hours for alleged price gouging.

The news came as Venezuelans rushed to empty supermarket shelves of televisions, refrigerators in anticipation that prices would soar for imported items.

[...]

“To those gentlemen, let’s call them looters of the people… If they want to, go ahead and do it, but we’ll take their business and hand it over to the workers,” Chavez said on his weekly radio and television talk show “Alo Presidente.”

ABN said food, car part and other businesses were closed on Monday “for changing the price of products and for speculation.”

That’s the thing about commie bastards: they are impervious to reality. May they all finish up at the end of a rope.
