Vale Janine Haines

Arse :(

Janine Haines, the first Australian Democrats senator and first woman to lead an Australian political party, has died aged 59.

She had been suffering from a long-term neurological condition.

I'm not a huge fan of the Aus Democrats, but Haines was a person I had a great deal of time for. I remember her as very much a member of the now-endangered "sane left". She could discuss policies calmly, rationally, with warmth and good humour. If only we could have other Dems like her.

Rest In Peace, Janine.

 

Quote of the day

If my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle

- Mick Doohan

 

Idiot of the day

I present to you the Canadian "ultra-conservative political commentator" Adam Yoshida. A man who has a fearful obsession with homosexuals that borders on clinical insanity.

Go look though his archives, and gaze in awe at his great thoughts. Adam considers gays to be degenerates, child molesters, AIDS-spreaders. He reckons gay marriage would "lead to the legalization of pedophilia" and is morally equivalent to cannibalism and infanticide.

Here's are some of my favourite Yoshida quotes:

Homosexuality is obviously truly an all-consuming fetish. Like a foot fetishist, willing to place themselves in extreme danger to satisfy their bizarre desires

ideally, I think, laws against homosexuality would remain on the books, but only occasionally enforced. The real point of such laws is not to jail homosexuals: something which, after all, costs money. Rather, the point is to demonstrate official disapproval of homosexuality and drive it underground. We shall never be rid of gays altogether: but we can at least shove them back into the closet.

I understand the fundamental truth that the spread of homosexuality is merely the forward edge of a wave of degeneracy which threatens to overwhelm our society. Gay people may be nice and kind, on an individual basis: but as a collective group they are a menace who threatens our values and our way of life.

Gays have been sold to the public as a sad minority, desperately afraid of being murdered in the streets rather than as a tiny, subversive, clique whose final objective is the destruction of the Christian religion, the weakening of the American Republic, and the imposition of a new and fundamentally alien lifestyle upon the American people.

We will never save this country if we surrender to the sodomites at the gates.

What a fucktool.

 

Decision made

I've decided I'm not gonna buy a car next year after all. Why spend so much money on something I don't want, just for that once-a-month situation where it'd be handy to have a car? No thanks.

I'm going to do something much more interesting with my money: I'm going to buy a second bike: my long desired Honda VTR1000.

Planned modifications:

- Sargent, Corbin or John Moorehouse seat.
- Staintune exhausts. I considered a full system and a HRC jet kit, but that's a lot of money for a modest horsepower/torque gain. Better to upgrade the suspenders if I wanna go faster.
- double-bubble iridium screen.
- braided brake lines.
- suspension upgrade, either a full Öhlins kit or getting a workshop to do a RaceTech upgrade .
- Scott oiler.
- if there is such a thing, an aftermarket instrument panel. The current VTRs have the worst-designed speedo I've ever used.

Sadly, they don't make the yellow ones anymore. If that doesn't change in '05 then I'll go for a red one....

Unfortunately, the next-best VTR colour to yellow - silver - has not been available since 1998. Guess it didn't sell too well. Pity, coz it looked horn.

 

Jesus thinks you're a jerk

Over in the ALS discussion forum (click on "forum" on the sidebar), some Christian fundamentalist nutter named Jacob Jones is trying to save our libertarian souls from evil. More interestingly, God apparently told him in a dream that I am "The One" who it is his mission to save. Heh, I feel like Neo in The Matrix.

We've all had a good time observing the Jacob's ravings. Apprently it's never occured to him that being an evangelist requires charisma, and being intelligent enough to actually sustain a conversation. Jacob, sadly, has niether quality.

Then again, expecting a creationist to be capable of logical thought was a bit optimistic I guess....

UPDATE: Jacob has just sent me a long e-mail. Apparently he has felt my "yearning" for God's love. Heh. Fucking wanker.
