I was listening to commercial radio last night…not something I do by choice, but anyhow they were interviewing Kasey Chambers who was talking about her trips to the States. She told a story of when she was in Nashville (the home of “country music”…at least in the States) she was asked (I kid you not) whether she recorded her songs in Australian or English…so would they be able to understand the songs. I’m between rofl and OMG. Are some Americans really that dumb?

No racism intended in the heading for this post….but you’ll know what I mean if you’ve ever tried calling Dell..but on a brighter note, according to VNUnet, Dell’s new one2one blog shares its name…with a porn site. Sh*t, haven’t these morons ever heard of a Whois lookup?

Now I think some of the things the US Government are doing at the moment to their citizens, in terms of spying in particular, are abhorrent, but it seems pretty clear that whilst they are busy spying on innocent civilians they are leaving their nuclear warheads unguarded…why you may well ask? Well The Register reports that three anti-nuke activists dressed as clowns broke into a Minuteman III facility in North Dakota earlier this week and painted pacifist slogans on the missile silo’s cover. Now imagine that these clowns were Al Quida operatives….makes you think doesn’t it.
How does that song on the radio go? …Forever Young?

Interesting post at the Something Awful boards which is definitely worth a read. This quote stands out:
The secret behind this cult, behind this evil organization, is in it’s direction, it’s goal. The goal of Scientology is not to become the major predominant religion of the world. That is something they have already secured. You will not see any end to Scientology over the years. Through mob tactics and the sheer weight of it’s wealth and influence, Scientology will become the only way to pray in the world. The leaders are not in any way, being the realistic, pragmatic people that they are, doubtful of that. It’s not a belief on their part, but a fact. You would do well to remember that before the end.
What end? The end being the success of their main goal, which is to become the first true Illuminati of the world. So far, such a word has been a myth, an urban legend of politics. No real Illuminati has ever existed on this planet, but that is the goal of Scientology: Unlimited power. Power to decide the fate of all things, all people. They do it for their own interests, the endless interest of what it would feel like to have control over everything. They do it not for any betterment of mankind, or even in sustaining the tenuous harmony we as a species have now. I have met all level VIII’s at one time or another, and I know better than anyone that not a one of them would have a problem with infanticide, global cleansing of “weaker” ethnicities, slavery, aristocracy, or vindictive torture of anyone they don’t like.
Tom Cruise as the President of the United States….now that would be interesting 🙂

Only in Australia! (via a Socialiteslife)
After staking out Kidman’s harbourside Sydney house for most of the day, some 20 photographers heard her garage door start to rise and quickly armed themselves with motor-drive cameras.
But instead of a shot of the bride and groom before the wedding day, the paparazzi were met by two women carrying a case of beer and water bottles.
Written on the case of 24 bottles of “Victoria Bitter” beer was a note: “Enjoy!, Nicole and Keith.”
And it seemed the gesture worked, at least temporarily, with the paparazzi thanking their host and enjoying the beer — a universal greeting of friendship in Australia.
It’s also a universal way of getting work done by tradesman as well when you are building a house, I’d think I spent nearly $1,000 pampering the tradies whilst I was getting our house built 🙂
