The news gets better and better

Mass murderer Yasser Arafat is in a coma. I hope I wake up to happy news tomorrow.

"U.S. Election disaster"

The losers at The Daily Moron are enraged:


Here's the editorial screech by Brian Reade:

GOD HELP AMERICA

THEY say that in life you get what you deserve. Well, today America has deservedly got a lawless cowboy to lead them further into carnage and isolation and the unreserved contempt of most of the rest of the world.

[...]

This should have been the day when Americans finally answered their critics by raising their eyes from their own sidewalks and looking outward towards the rest of humanity.

And for a few hours early yesterday, when the exit polls predicted a John Kerry victory, it seemed they had.

But then the horrible, inevitable truth hit home. They had somehow managed to re-elect the most devious, blinkered and reckless leader ever put before them. The Yellow Rogue of Texas.

A self-serving, dim-witted, draft-dodging, gung-ho little rich boy, whose idea of courage is to yell: "I feel good," as he unleashes an awesome fury which slaughters 100,000 innocents for no other reason than greed and vanity.

A dangerous chameleon, his charming exterior provides cover for a power-crazed clique of Doctor Strangeloves whose goal is to increase America's grip on the world's economies and natural resources.

[...]

There's only one headline in town today, folks: "It Was Osama Wot Won It."

And soon he'll expect pay-back. Well, he can't allow Bush to have his folks whoopin' and a-hollerin' without his own getting a share of the fun, can he?

Heck, guys, I hope you're feeling proud today.

To the tens of millions who voted for John Kerry, my commiserations.

To the overwhelming majority of you who didn't, I simply ask: Have you learnt nothing? Do you despise your own image that much?

Do you care so little about the world beyond your shores? How could you do this to yourselves?

How appalling must one man's record at home and abroad be for you to reject him?

[...]

America has chosen a menacingly immature buffoon who likened the pursuit of the 9/11 terrorists to a Wild West, Wanted Dead or Alive man-hunt and, during the Afghanistan war, kept a baseball scorecard in his drawer, notching up hits when news came through of enemy deaths.

A RADICAL Christian fanatic who decided the world was made up of the forces of good and evil, who invented a war on terror, and thus as author of it, believed he had the right to set the rules of engagement.

[...]

You have to feel sorry for the millions of Yanks in the big cities like New York, Washington, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco who voted to kick him out.

These are the sophisticated side of the electorate who recognise a gibbon when they see one.

As for the ones who put him in, across the Bible Belt and the South, us outsiders can only feel pity.

Were I a Kerry voter, though, I'd feel deep anger, not only at them returning Bush to power, but for allowing the outside world to lump us all into the same category of moronic muppets.

The self-righteous, gun-totin', military lovin', sister marryin', abortion-hatin', gay-loathin', foreigner-despisin', non-passport ownin' red-necks, who believe God gave America the biggest dick in the world so it could urinate on the rest of us and make their land "free and strong".

[...]

Today is a sad day for the world, but it's even sadder for the millions of intelligent Americans embarrassed by a gung-ho leader and backed by a banal electorate, half of whom still believe Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11.

Yanks had the chance to show the world a better way this week, instead they made a thuggish cowboy ride off into the sunset bathed in glory.

And in doing so it brought Armageddon that little bit closer and re-christened their beloved nation The Home Of The Knave and the Land Of The Freak.

God Help America.

Quick, somebody fetch Brian a douchebag. Stat!

A Californian swing voter speaks up

My good friend Steve in Los Angeles is an interesting fellow. A Gore voter in 2000, he regarded Dubya as little more than a spoiled buffoon. Like many people, his priorities changed after September 11, 2001. On Monday in his livejournal, he wrote this excellent piece:

Tomorrow at 9:30am I will be in line to vote for George Bush as President of the United States of America.

Through out the day the people I have recruited, convinced or cajoled will be doing the same, even though California is predicted to go for John Kerry. You never know how many other people managed to convince someone to cross party lines, or go from undecided to Bush.

I have never voted Republican in a Presidential election. I voted against George Bush in 2000.

Tomorrow I will vote for him, because he is the right man to lead our war on the Islamic jihad that has been declared against us. He is the right man because he will make the tough choices. He is the right man because he will not allow the corrupt and venal United Nations to stop us from doing what is right. He is the right man because he sees that our former allies, France, Germany and Russia have sold the collective souls of their nations in pursuit of greed, graft and their fading influence on the world stage.

As a nation we will not go the way of Spain and surrender ourselves to a leader who will try to purchase peace at any costs. John Kerry would seek that peace and drag our country down, down, until the jahadis could at last grasp our thoat and choke the life from us.

I predict that we will not let terror rule us. Instead we will vote to keep a man who has proven he will not give in to lies, fear and despair

Tomorrow night I expect to see George Bush stand at a podium and declare that as President he will stay the course. That as a nation we will promote peace, democracy and freedom through out the world.

That is how I will know that my vote counted.

Indeed.

USA! USA! USA!

Some people are not happy about Bush being re-elected:

- Niall Cook is whinging:

It's perverse. How any nation which calls itself democratic can operate under such a fragmented and diverse electoral system defies rationality.

Like all lefties, Niall considers any electoral system to be corrupt if the wrong people get elected. Funny he'd even care, considering he'd criticised EvilPundit for posting a pro-Bush opinion:

The above brought to you by an Australian, with no firm ties to the American political scene, no personal experience of present day life in America, no vested interest in the outcome of the US Presidential election, no intimate knowledge of either of the proponents apart from what he reads, in the doubtlessly Republican-biased media and clearly no understanding of the potentials of either candidate winning.

Niall will no doubt tell us about his own "firm ties to the American political scene", his own "personal experience of present day life in America", his own "vested interest in the outcome of the US Presidential election" and his immense "intimate knowledge of either of the proponents" that authorises him to spout his endless juvenile gibberish about the USA.

- The Islamic Sydney folks aren't happy either:

omggggg did bush win? no wayyyyyyyy i bet he tried anything to win. I doubt it was an ethical election. I'm sure there must have been electoral fraud involved.

Despite all the efforts and campaign, Bush won and it somehow indicates the social nexus of the American society. They are at their final stage of social and moral nihilism, protected by constitutional dictatorship.

I just can't stand Bush. And then seeing that smug look on his face when he found himself winning The man is an evil kaffir, murderer, uuurrgghhhhhh Hate him!!

He is losin the battle in IRAQ and ironically UNITING MUSLIMS in the process for ONCE ARABS TURKS and all muslims wanted KERRY!! NO lets use this to unite the ummah and make the ISLAMIC STATES!!

- I'm keen to see what Michael Moore will say in his next update. Here was his last one:

I’ve been getting early tracking results from across the country and things are looking good – very good.

Looks like this election has gone the same way as 'payback Tuesday', eh Mikey?

- As usual, the folks at the "your say" sections of the SMH and The Age provide the best entertainment:

The Americans have the right to vote for the leader they wish. Surely as citizen of the world we have the right to vote for the 'Leader of the Free World'. If that was the case then the outcome may have been different

Stupid people behind picket fences and barbed wire fences voted for these stupid leaders. Ban the likes of Howard and Bush from our big inner cities. We didn't vote for them.

I think they dont know how hated they are.They are known to be strong with armies but can't admit anything that happens that they did worng.

White supremacy is alive and well and the plebs want it that way. Watch Blair get re-elected as well when the death toll in Iraq climbs to 150,000 or 200,000 and the middle east totally erupts in chaos. These three fools and their stupid nations will say "see you have to re-elect us 'cause only we can save you from this mess", except they have created it and we in the great unwashed heartlands and so cruel and selfish we refuse to see the "untermenschen", the under people. It's a sad and shocking day when these two ride triumphalant over their dumbed and dumber populations.

Its a sad outcome for the world. Obviously Americans never saw "farenhiet 911".

U.S.Oil! U.S.Oil! U.S.Oil!

The majority of people in both these countries are amoral and ignorant, features that are exacerbated by a subservient mass media which play the tune of their paymasters. Stupidity, ignorance, apathy and amorality never pay in the long-run...hence the bloodshed will continue in iraq and elsewhere.

Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has got one.. Just so happens Australia and America re-elected ones to the top job!!

So it was the Pentecostal and Born Again Christians who brought Howard and Bush to power, it has nothing to do with popularity, but everything to do with evangilism, and biggotry.

It is the same situation as Australia. People are inherently selfish and cannot see beyond themselves nor beyond the next day. They are easily cowed and bow to mob rule.

Three words: Stupid beyond belief.

Those rednecks deserve the leader they got.

When God and Corporate America stand shoulder to shoulder who could stand in their way? But seriously folks, when you have a group of people a large percentage of whom believe the planet was created in 7 days it doesn't take a miracle for the Washington evaneglists to convince them to come unto George.

If more people listened to people like Arundhati Roy then perhaps they might be able to break out of their four walls of ignorance. But unfortunately, I can only assume that Bush and Howard voters have never heard of her.

And the winner is.....He with the most damaging PROPAGANDA!!!!

Happy-Clappy Christian hicks in middle America voted for the 'Holy War' in the Middle East.

The majority of Americans (and Australians, for that matter) have always had a deep distrust of anyone displaying intelligence or education. They want someone more like themselves - stupid.

Dumbocracy, freedum, Truth, the AmeriKKKan way. You know you want it.

Bush and Howard won because they were successful in brainwasing the majority of people towards their sick view of the world. This was achieved using private propoganda machines such as those run by murdoch and packer.

Over half of Americans aren't free, they're trapped by there own ignorance. The minority that understand that Iraq is more than a video game and culture means more than red rooster, are surrounded by those idiots.

I've come to the conclusion that Americans are just deeply insane.

The majority of our two countries are brainwashed tv junkies.

Now it's clear, the problem is not with any individual leader (be it Bush or Kerry), but with the majority of the American people. They accept Bush, and they should also accept whatever that comes with him.

who would have lost if the whole world got to vote instead of a privileged minority?

It doesn't seemright that the safety and commonsense of the world can be chosen by a small group of uneducated, mis-informed rednecks who probably don't even have a passport and don't understand anything past the next US state. Given the devastation casueed by Bush all that Howard has succumbed to, it seems only fair that Australians be allowed tovote in the US elections.

They won through lying, fear mongering and let's face it, Americans have never been known to be the sharpest tools in the shed.

The US and Australia have essentially re-elected 2 war criminals. This is the begining of the end for western civilisation

America and Israel, have weapons of mass destruction; believe god is exlusively on their side; are only in it for themselves. Why do we have doplomatic relations with these monsters?

'Doplomatic' relations? Heh.

A question for my motorcyclist readers

I'm looking for recommendation for my next set of sportsbike tyres. I don't want full-on soft supersport tyres, but I don't like sports-touring ones either. Here are the sportsbike tyres I've tried:

Metzeler M1 Sportec
Pirelli Diablo
Bridgestone BT12/19
Michelin Pilot Sport
Michelin Pilot Power

The Sportecs are my favourite out of this lot. Any other ideas?
