Indeed. The thought of this mentally unstable arseclown as our PM is frightening. A few years ago, Latham seemed one of the few Labor MPs with any grasp on reality. Time and increasing exposure has shown him to be a loudmouth crybaby, gutless hypocrite, economic buffoon, geopolitical imbecile, and possessed of the emotional fortitude of a ten-year-old. Latham likes to think of himself as "new politics", promoting standards up public debate he himself has shown no interest in adhering to. He makes a great show of "putting Australia first", which seems to consist of pissing off our most important ally in the name of 'national interest', while at the same time flushing Australia's sovereignty down the toilet by ratifying the Kyoto protocol, and putting Australians under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. Not to mention Labor's obsession with our international "reputation", which as far as I can tell involves basing Australian policy around criticisms from foreign governments and unelected international NGO's. His response to the government's appalling budget spending spree is to spend even more money, everywhere, and still somehow keep the budget in surplus. Worse still, the silly git can't seem to hold a consistent policy position from one week to the next. He's gonna pull the troops out of Iraq...except for the ones who'll be staying. He's gonna not ratify the US free trade agreement, except he will. He'll never sell out the PBS, except he decided to..... I have no love for the current government: high-taxing, high-spending, socially intrusive statist goons. Yet I can see no policy area where a Latham government won't be infinitely worse. Particularly where it counts most: national security. Federal Labor, lest we forget, seemed keen to grovel to Islamic psychopaths the last time they were in office. Latham
is unfit to be prime minister now or at any time in the future. Let's
keep this headcase and his howler-monkeys out of office for another term.
Please. Niall Cook and I are in complete agreement about something:
Amen. Fuck Elvis. Tuneless fat bastard. And
fuck Frank Sinatra too while we're at it. Talentless old cunt. Loony commie jellybrain George "air travel is evil" Monbiot wants to abolish four-wheel drives, which are "wrecking its cities and cooking the planet". This comes as no great surprise of course, but I decided to link to this article so you could see a prize piece of tree-hugging moral relativism at work......

seem to enjoy the new French movie Anatomy of Hell. Japanese hotshot Makoto Tamada has won the Rio MotoGP race. Apart from being a brilliant race, it was I think a great deal more historically significant than most people realise.
Tady Okada looked set to break through in the 500s once Doohan retired, though he fell apart once Mick wasn't around to set up the bike for him. Noriuki Haga was hailed as the next saviour, but watched his career evaporate once he left the Yamaha superbike team. Daijiro Katoh looked the best bet to break the mould after dominating the 250cc championship, but never seemed at ease with the MotoGP bikes, and was tragically killed at the start of last season. Which brings us to Tamada. Yes, he has a fast Honda. But he is also the sole Honda rider using the new Bridgestone tyres, which limits the value of setup data from the other Hondas. Unlike previous Japanese riders, who have found themselves shipwrecked when forced to set up and develop their own machines, Tamada has been slowly getting to grips with both tyre and bike. There is none of Norick Abe's "charge-and-crash" attitude. Makoto has also shown a fiery competitive spirit in racing that does not rely on dangerous kamikaze tactics. While his extreme body-lean angles are great to watch, his riding style is very smooth and consistent. He seems as comfortable on foreign circuits as Japanese ones. Most notably, he has made a much better transition from Superbikes to GPs than World Superbike champ Colin Edwards. Both men raced Honda's v-twin superbike, Edwards in World Supers, Tamada in the All-Japan championship. Edwards has seemed all at sea so far this season, yet Tamada has just won his first race. Tamada has the right attitude to win on the world scene, and he certainly has the skills. I'd venture to say that if the development of the Honda and the Bridgestone tyres continues at a decent rate, then Tamada may just be good enough to give even Rossi a real shake. Now
that would be something.

Japanese
riders do not have a great history on the world scene. Being trained on
the Japanese racing scene as robots for the manufacturers, they lack setup
skills, and often fall apart in the hard-as-nails racing environment outside
Japan.
