I
really, really want a Mazda 6, especially the yummy sports-hatch version.
You
can keep your RX-8. It does nada for me.

I thought they just made you fart
...and stupid quote
of the day comes from the Socialist
Worker, discussing white Australian racism:
Shane Warne's
plea for baked beans during a tour of India says
as much about the Australian mentality as his dietary habits.
This is the kind of
Deep Political Analysis only commies are brave enough to give us.
Elsewhere in this
month's issue:
• The two dopes
jailed for vandalising the Sydney Opera House were
apparently jailed for "political protest"
• As usual, our
idiot commie friends are confusing conference
majorities with popular opinion regarding illegal immigrants:
Latham and the
factional strongarms used the full force of the party machine to crush
the wishes of the conference majority.
Gosh, he's acting
like a democrat. The horror.

Oh Jeebus
If I wind up on the
same plane as this
fucking nutjob, I'm gonna try to take him out ASAP:
An American Airlines
pilot asked Christians on his flight to identify themselves and suggested
the non-Christians discuss the faith with them, the airline said.
The case was
handed over to the airline's personnel department for an investigation,
spokesman Tim Wagner said today.
"It falls
along the lines of a personal level of sharing that may not be appropriate
for one of our employees to do while on the job," he said earlier.
American's Flight
34 was headed from Los Angeles to New York's John F Kennedy Airport
on Friday when the pilot asked Christians on board to raise their hands,
Wagner said.
The pilot, whose
name was not released, told the airline that he then suggested the other
passengers use the flight time to talk to the Christians about their
faith, Wagner said.
Passenger Amanda
Nelligan told WCBS-TV of New York that the pilot called non-Christians
"crazy" and that his comments "felt like a threat".
She said she and several others aboard were so worried they tried to
call relatives on their cell phones before flight attendants assured
them they were safe and that people on the ground had been notified
about the pilot's comments.
This fella is in some
serious need of on-the-job training.

Nice, lovely communists
You know, when I read
stories like
this, I comfort myself my remembering that the USA and Israel are
much, much worse:
Estimates back
in 1998 were that as many as 800,000 people were dying in North Korea
each year from starvation and malnutrition caused by Kim's ruthless
and irrational policies. World Vision, a Christian relief organization,
calculated that 1 million to 2 million North Koreans had been killed
by "a full-scale famine" largely of Pyongyang's creation.
[...]
Some 200,000
men, women, and children are held in these slave-labor camps; hundreds
of thousands of others have perished in them over the years. Some of
the camps are so hellish that 20 percent or more of their prisoners
die from torture and abuse each year. The dead can be of any age: North
Korea's longstanding policy is to imprison not only those accused of
such "crimes" as practicing Christianity or complaining about
North Korean life, but their entire families, including grandparents
and grandchildren.
[...]
Soon Ok-lee,
who spent seven years in another North Korean camp, described the use
of prisoners as guinea pigs for biochemical weapons.
"An officer
ordered me to select 50 healthy female prisoners," she testified.
"One of the guards handed me a basket full of soaked cabbage, told
me not to eat it, but to give it to the 50 women. I gave them out and
heard a scream. . . . They were all screaming and vomiting blood. All
who ate the cabbage leaves started violently vomiting blood and screaming
with pain. It was hell. In less than 20 minutes, they were dead."
Gas chambers.
Poisoned food. Torture. The murder of whole families. Massive death
tolls. How much more do we need to know about North Korea's crimes before
we act to stop them? How many more victims will be fed into the gas
chambers before we cry out "never again!" -- and mean it?
Of course, it is nasty
and unsophisticated to refer to North Korea as "evil".
Filthy communist bastards.

The legacy of Lennox
Good bit over at East
Side Boxing about where newly-retired heavyweight champ Lennox Lewis
stands on the list of all-time greats.
Lennox is/was an odd
duck. A wild and sloppy boxer in his early years, he matured into a great
fighter in his thirties. If
he could have overcome his occasionally sloppy discipline and lazy ego,
he might have made it to the top off the all-time greats list.
