A sneak preview of a new ABC drama/comedy Maximum Choppage has been released on Youtube. Author, actor and producer Timothy Ly began a no budget concept thirteen years ago, and got a local community to help him produce a movie and a number of related offerings. The local talent developed by Rumble Pictures is impressive and hopefully the series will be the first of many such offerings.
Many are writing off Premier Campbell Newman's chances of keeping his seat while winning government in the Jan 31st election in Queensland. Newman is in what is naturally an ALP seat. However, Newman's resolve and loyalty are true ALP values, the best of the ALP and should be rewarded by that electorate. Sadly, the ALP hope to take that community for granted. Newman is their one hope for an honest and effective representative.
AGW alarmists are haunted by extinction. Peter Hannam wishes skeptics were extinct. Ben Cubby suggests an amnesty without saying what the amnesty would entail. If Skeptics of AGW were to stop pointing to the facts of global warming being a myth, what would Ben do for us? Would he make us extinct? A giant clam found in South China seas is analysed to show it was warmer in the Middle Ages than today. AGW extremists would describe that as confirmation bias, because skeptics were looking for that evidence.
Refugee Council lauds an elderly woman in Sydney who placed a banner outside her place, expressing shame that Australia is no longer drowning refugees. The council considers placing the banner brave. In such terms, turning off an alarm and going back to sleep is also brave.
Amnesty International tries to explain why they supported a thief who became a wife killing terrorist. They aren't going to say they hated the then Howard government and wanted to cause problems for it, but that is probably closest to the truth. Instead they claim tat under current processes they would not do that today. If so, they need to explain how Monis was different to David Hicks in terms of today's policy.
Lebanese porn star answers her critics well by pointing out there are more pressing issues in the Middle East.
2014
The New York Times has described them as 'Warmists' since 1989. One can look at the greenhouse gasses in Earth's atmosphere, and correctly deduce Carbon Dioxide is only responsible for feeding plants. Maybe the technology will exist one day to remove water vapour from the atmosphere, but if that time comes, let us hope there is sufficient wisdom to not do that. US is enduring a cold snap. Summer is so cold in Australia that a research vessel is locked in ice. But Warmists stoically endure.
Evil endures too. Like that of those german women who followed through with the holocaust. One has to shudder at what the daily atrocity in Middle East is doing to the children there. Obama has isolated the only state capable of stability and peace, Israel. Evil endures as those who collect money for the poor, divert it. Tim Costello and World Vision need to explain themselves.
Some were surprised at the sentence of a thug. It is ok, he wasn't going to kill a shark. An eight year old girl is wearing a suicide vest in Afghanistan, proving Obama has indeed won the war.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what it's like until they've been there. Keep heart David take care.
