Blair describes the year ahead, and it is full of a lot of worrying lone wolf type attacks and angry ABC personalities collecting much money and blaming budget cuts.
Macropod Harvesting is the new description of kangaroo shooter. They are expected to have a lot of work in the coming year as an overpopulation of 'roos will eat the diminished harvest of drought stricken farmers.
Glenn Reynolds accurately describes modern feminists, who seem strangely similar to misogynists.
Daniel Andrews threatens defence jobs in Victoria unless the federal government lets him have everything he wants. But one feels Jacqui Lambie has already milked that cow.
New NSW ALP leader has betrayed his party to impose himself for preselection. He has said his policy won't be about mere sound good items, but will carry real weight.
Crim Ibrahim shot by crims over crim matter. Nobody knows why.
Concerns expressed that jihadist Boston Bomber might not be able to say why he is committed to jihad. Maybe, when he is convicted, his sentence will be set to exactly half that of Jonathan Pollard.
Fujitive Christodoulos Xiros is caught trying to apply more left wing mayhem to his old prison which he escaped.
Jeffrey Epstein, the well connected pedophile convict was too close to Prince Andrew.
Some leftist geek has left caltrops strewn through a Melbourne park. Hopefully the abuser is found soon, and dragged through the park.
ACT love is impoverishing ACT based sex shops.
Space craft nears Pluto after nine year journey.

Urban legends kill. I have links today to the inspiration for Crocodile Dundee. He died from a gunshot wound after he killed a policeman, but only after taking drugs and buying into an urban legend fantasy. The policeman he'd killed was a father. The story the policeman's children will tell of not growing up with a dad will be real. But the rape/murder fantasy is not the only murderous urban legend going around. There is the one about torturing farm animals somehow justifying retributive actions against farmers or meat eaters. Another about stolen generations .. a child with Aboriginal ancestry is raped by her father. As a prepubescent child, she engages in sex with many boys who are themselves not a lot older. Concerned GP refers the child who is discovered at age 7 to have VD. Child is placed in foster care as drug addict mother can't be responsible. Another city, an Italian ethnic family. The foster dad takes a year off work to care for her. She begins to respond. But a social worker notes the child is Aboriginal and takes them from the safe environment and returns her to her mother. The child, while unsupervised, resumes having sex with local boys. Boys are brought before a judge for rape. None serve a day in jail. So girl is placed in specialist care with a psychiatrist, behavioural specialist and numerous other social workers and not allowed to see another child until she grows up. The girl is real. The stolen Generation urban legend is not. There is another urban legend, it is to do with the weather ..
