Hooray

The ACT Government finally shitcanned the GMC 400.

This V8 supercar race - held in the parliamentary triangle - was born in 1999 as yet another massive-waste-of-taxpayer-money scheme cooked up by our nutcase ex-Chief Minister Kate Carnell. It gave us a narrow street circuit which made it impossible for the racecars to pass each other, which provided for some monumentally boring racing.

Motor racing fans are outraged. They'll spout the usual horseshit about the economic benefits it brings to Canberra. They'll also never explain why such a popular economic bonanza required huge amount of taxpayer money to prop it up. They also drag out blatantly untrue crowd attendance figure: ie. if the same 30,000 people attend on all three days, they'll claim "90000 people turned up".

Not that I care if they close off streets for a few weeks to have a car race. I likes me motorsport. All this "sanctity of the parliamentary triangle" and all that crap is soo much wowser piffle.

But do me a favour guys, don't lie about how it's beneficial for us all. You want to continue to have it? You can bloody well pay whatever ticket price is required to cover the costs. Naturally, the hotels association are squealing as well - well where the fuck are your sponsorship dollars fellas? (.....sound of crickets.....)

Will this screeching assbag ever shut up?

Self-appointed Martyr For The People - Cheryl Kernot - will break her silence about the Evans affair this weekend in a radio interview.

ABC journalist Monica Attard today said Ms Kernot was "full and frank" in her account of the five-year relationship, and how it affected her political and private life.

"She talks about her relationship with Gareth Evans and the impact of that relationship on her family, the impact of that relationship on the Labor party, and on her decision to leave the Democrats," Ms Attard said.

"I think it's full and frank, as Cheryl Kernot always is, and I'm sure everyone will have their own set of unanswered questions - it's inevitable in this sort of industry I think."

Full and frank as Cheryl always is? Well yeah, except for the lying-about-it-for-5-years, and lying-about-it-in-her-"tell-all"-book parts. One hopes it won't be a bootlicking interview, but this is the ABC we're talking about here.

"Are we scared yet?" redux

-Reuters, July 18, 2002 -- LONDON - A radical Muslim cleric, suspected of having links to Osama bin Laden, said yesterday a U.S. attack on Iraq would unleash retaliation by militant supporters of the world's most-wanted man.
"Sympathizers with al Qaeda would attack the Americans if Iraq is attacked," said Abu Hamza al-Masri, Britain's most controversial Muslim cleric.

oooh man, you islamonuts are just soooo badass baby. Lemme see, you guys threaten individual suicide bombings, whereas the americans could turn your entire shitty civilisation into nuclear waste. It's like Minnie Mouse threatening Lennox Lewis.
