As is fitting after a sudden military attack, people are
quickly taking positions in the aftermath of the Bali Bombing. Bob (let's-lie-down-and-let-them-rape-us) Brown has predictably blamed John
Howard. He has said that more such attacks (including attacks on our soil) are
likely if Australia backs
the US in the coming Iraqi
war. His solution solution seems to be to placate fundamentalist Islam by opening the borders to
them. Apparently it hasn't occurred to him that reducing the number of
fundamentalist Muslims in Australia reduces the risk. Or maybe he thinks it is
already too late, and that the only way to keep ourselves safe now is to try
and placate those who are already here. If that is the case it would at least
be nice to have him admit his part in it.

| Bali By Night | |
Australian party-goers got more bang for their buck than they expected on a
recent trip to Bali. Heated relations between Indonesia and Australia over Indonesia's rape and
looting of East Timor had cooled on the surface. However the Indonesian's
carefully executed agenda of instilling hatred towards Australians paid
dividends when Sari nightclub, (an exclusively Western nightclub in Kuto) was
bombed killing between 100-200 people. While both the Indonesian and Australian press hound the SAS for one
supposed killing of a Militia thug in the aftermath of the rape of East Timor,
Indonesia's corruption, anti-Australian propaganda, and
muslim-terrorist-friendly policies have just killed over a hundred people -
many of them Australian. How many more Australians have to die before Australia realizes she is at
war?

| Sun setting on Religious Idiocy? | |
The Herald
Sun reports that trashy computer supplier Total Peripherals Group (TPG) and
devout Lebanese-Australian Muslim Kamal El-Masri are locked
into a mini religious war over Kamal's right to pray in work hours. As a devout Muslim, Kamal has to pray 5 times a day facing Mecca, and two
of those times fall in his work hours. He clearly feels that his employer is
beholden to the will of his God and has an obligation to make special
arrangements. ASU state secretary Sally McManus is insisting that his employer
make his work hours flexible and provide him with a praying room. TPG have said that their working hours were not flexible, and other employees
were not permitted to take time off for 'smokos'. Kamal claims to have a pregnant wife, to be the sole breadwinner for the
family, and says that he 'can't afford to lose his job'. However he is
apparently willing to lose it, and has even said that he 'would rather die'
than ignore Allah's will. But
presumably would take easier option of going on the dole, and living at the
taxpayer's expense. Meanwhile other employers are having a
chuckle at TPG's idiocy in employing a devout Muslim at all, and most are
determined not to make the same mistake. Lebanese immigrants have the highest
immigrant unemployment rate in Australia, and more and more
people are spotting the connection. Of course the unions are
not going to point this out. They are anxious to cause as much trouble as
possible. This is likely to be the last job that Kamal El-Masri ever has. Does he
really think that any other infidels are going to employ
him after causing this much trouble to his employer? Regardless of how he ends
up leaving this job, he will probably be spending a long time on the dole with
so many of his ethnic brethren from the 'old country'. And as for us infidels? Smoko's over - back to work I guess. Someone has to
pay the taxes. 18 million
infidels going out to work to support a small minority of Muslims? Maybe Allah
will have the last laugh after all.

A lunatic is going around shooting people around Washington DC. Only in
America the saying goes, and perhaps they are right - when lunatics in
Australia do this, they choose out-of-the-way places, and shoot people more or
less non-stop until they are caught. But the Washington shooter has a different modus operandi. He is
presumably shooting people with a high-velocity weapon from a distance from his
car, and then quietly driving off. Local police seem to have no leads and the
death count is currently six, including a school-boy. Not significant compared to 2800-odd deaths in the September-11 attacks
maybe, but the political fallout for the US may be just as great. When he is caught, it will probably be because of a stray surveillance
camera which records his car driving to, or away from, the scene of a crime.
Cameras are currently placed in city centers and crowded high-crime areas, but
are uncommon in suburban streets. And so far they have been useful in getting
convictions (like in the case of Timmy (Oklahoma bomber) McVeigh, but haven't
been than useful in actually catching many. The more people who killed before he is caught, the greater the perceived
benefits of randomly placed surveillance cameras will be. The US will become
surveillance central. The civil libertarians will ignored in the push to make
the streets safe for the nation's children. Ultimately a War on Privacy is likely have more effect on the average
American's life than the War on Terrorism. Doubtless the other high profile
psychotic - Ted (Unabomber) Kaczynski would regard this as further
justification for this shooter's actions. Apparently not all psychotics in the US are imports.

| "We will control what information you recieve, and the circumsta | |
Bob McMullan doesn't know which foot take out of his mouth first after
tying himself in knots over funding for the coming war with Iraq. He thought he would seize
an opportunity to point out the incompetence of the treasurer in being unable
to keep the Australian budget out of the red in spite of promises to the
contrary. One would think that some $AUD170 odd billion would be enough to fill the
required pork barrels, but there were some unexpected expenses. Having to fund
the Tampa hysteria, and subsequent Pacific Solution, as well as having to fund
unexpected military operations after the collapse of the WTC and the resultant
'deteriorating relations' with the Taliban, stretched the dollar
a bit too far. The credibility of Peter (can you say 'overspending'?) Costello was
stretched too, but not as far a Bob McMullan's. Proclaiming that they wouldn't support a special 'war tax' is a good way to
point out the treasurer's incompetence. Unfortunately this raises the
possibility that any Australian military deaths in Iraq will be blamed on lack
of funding, and therefore on the ALP's unwillingness to actually supply the
troops adequately. If he was up against One
Nation or the Australian
Democrats, Bob could run with this, and be ready to rewrite history when it
happened, but he is taking on a skilled politician who uses
information too effectively, and the government largely controls
the release of sensitive military information. They
say that the first casualty in any war is the truth. Johnny Howard
mightn't go that far, but he might take it prisoner, and soften it up a bit
before the debriefing - then call it a media beat-up. The ALP would
be ambushed, and defeated before they even knew they were under attack. If Bob has any brains he'll oppose the war or open the chequebook -
there is no middle ground. Otherwise he will be cannon fodder for the
government's smart-bombs.

| The Result of a Rash Decision? | |
One has to question whether the God botherers have a point after
the latest outbreak of a sinners disease. Meningococcal seems to be
discriminating for those who indulge in sinning activities. Sex looked like it was
getting safer. Cures for most venereal diseases, including herpes, meant that
us sinners could have sex with gay abandon - well abandon anyway. The gay part
decided to look dangerous when the government started showing
those tasteless Grim Reaper ads on TV. Having sex in bowling clubs was never
the same. But things have gone from bad to worse. The Grim Reaper also seems ready to
strike down those who even have a bit of a snog in the local nightclub (or the
boys locker room in the case of the Raiders football team's tryout who recently
contracted the disease). Why does Meningococcal choose young people in night clubs? Well, it may be
because they are sinning, or it may be for a more rational reason. People may think that sharing girlfriends (or boyfriends) is disgusting and
unhygienic, but it's not the only way of sharing bodily fluids. Kissing is an
obvious one, but there are others. For example the music is so loud that people
shout more, and therefore spit more - often on each other. People also share
drinks and cigarettes
(including those funny smelling
ones). It seems that all sharing of bodily fluids is risky, even the ones which
are less fun. At least being on the Internet is safe - the biggest risk
is going blind - from staring at the monitor too long, that is.

Winners are grinners and Simon (Union Basher) Crean had
more to smile about today than his dental work. His long term push that he had
staked his leadership on, was accepted 121 to 69. The unions will only have a
50% voting power within the ALP. Simon is a clever policitian. He wants to
become the next Prime Minister, and knows that that a rapidly de-unionizing Australian working class
won't elect a union-run Labor party. But his detractors are also clever. They realize this is the beginning of
the end for the Labor party, which is about to be cast adrift in the political
quagmire just like the Australian
Democrats. The Greens have taken
the loony left, the Liberal party has taken
the right, and the two middle-left parties will just wallow around squabbling
about asylum-seekers
and Telstra privatization. The ALP has given up its raison d'etre. They used to be in favor
of the nationalization of the main means of production, but having sold Qantas
and the Commonwealth Bank, they could hardly call themselves
anti-privatization. This didn't matter if they were still pro-union - they
could still claim to represent the union-worker whether the industries were
privatized or not. But now they can no longer make that claim. Longer term, the ALP could have survived as a union-force if it had kept its
union soul. It would never again have won office, but it would have remained a
political power. But now,
the long term for the ALP is irrelevance. Things are different in the short-term though, if the Liberal party make
some dreadful mistakes (like appointing Peter (Smirky) Costello as leader),
Simon is still in with a chance in the next election. Simon doesn't really care
about the long term future of the ALP. He has one shot at becoming Prime
Minister, and destroying the ALP is a small price to pay for that chance. Tony (head-kicker) Abbot (one of the other Prime Ministerial
contenders), is also basing his main strategy on bashing Simon's former
employers. The similarity between Tony and Simon here is, well, striking.

| A Leader among yes-men | |
Andrew (not quite a Bart, just a) Bartlett, has been elected
as the new leader of the Democrats. Apparently the Democrats,
realizing that their loony left vote was being slowly grazed away by the Greens felt the need to
differentiate between parties. They didn't have a feminist to choose from this
time - all the powerful women
have left, been thrown out, or unwilling to stand. So they had a choice between
the homosexual and
the yes-man. Not happy to be just 'the other' party with the homosexual leader,
they chose the yes-man. Andrew Bartlett of course was Natasha's Andrew in the slanging match
between the matriarchal power brokers, fought out using the Andrews. According to ABC radio,
most Australians didn't even know who was standing for the Democrat's
leadership. Having risen from obscurity, he has to concentrate on avoiding his
most serious electoral risk: being ignored.

| Madness Takes its Toll | |
Catholic Priest
Tony Pearson from the Aboriginal Catholic Ministry has appealed to Phil
(keep-em-out) Ruddock on behalf of Qadir Fedayee, a mentally ill Afghan asylum seeker, on the
basis of his mental health. Apparently a mental illness is now grounds for becoming a refugee. All the healthy,
well adjusted but persecuted people in the world have to queue up behind the
mental retarded psychotics roaming around the third world. The people who may one day be able to support themselves, or even make a
positive contribution to Australia, are less
important than those who are likely to be a financial drain, or even threaten
other people's safety. Perhaps we could offer Saddam Hussein asylum in Australia on this basis?
Surely no sane person would commit those kind of atrocities against human
beings. This man needs help! Further, Father Tony Pearson insists that if Qadir got off the plane in
Kabul he would have no-one. Of course neither would Ali Baktiari, but that
didn't entitle him to asylum either. Of course if the Father Tony's rich multi-national employer - the Catholic
Church - were truly concerned, it could set up a mental hospital for these
people in Kabul and give them around the clock care. But I guess they are too
busy lobbying for the right to spend other people's money. Are these people crazy?
