Why is the rest of the world allowing the US to repeat the mistakes that created this financial crisis?

The same people who laid waste to our money are back in charge of the institutions that they caused to fail.
The same economists who failed to spot the impending disaster are still listened to on the various business channels.
The same folk are still anchoring the same business programmes

And now George W Bush has started an [...]

How do you know that a modern conservative is lieing? Their lips are moving.

Whoo hoo
Stewart of the Daily Show is more of an investigative journo than most of the so-called real journos.
He caught the liars at News Corp doing what they do best, lieing for the hate filled side of the political spectrum.
Apparently the idiot square jawed lair himself is gonna try and get out of it tonight.
The [...]

Women’s Soccer hoo-ha – bad game management all around and a chance for the media to get all self righteous

A certain video tape has been doing the rounds lately highlighting the behaviour of a Lobos player.

There is no doubt that her actions were outwith the laws of the game and should have been dealt with by the officials in accordance with the laws. But and it is a large but, [...]

More evidence that the catholic church officially tried to subvert the course of justice.

Via J Turley it appears that the church hierarchy tried to hush up all reporting of child abuse in the late 20th century. It even went as far as interfering with police inquiries, even if those inquiries were at best insipid and the behaviour of the officers involved seems suspicious.
The lead investigator in the case [...]

Xtians say the moslems hate them and just to prove it’s true they make stuff up – A spat between the truly delusional

Murdoch’s empire is so concerned about the moslem hoards that they are willing fabricate stories to show just how bad these moslems are.
My view is that all religions are equally as screwed up as each other and it is purely a matter of who has the swallowed the biggest pill of retard that determines who [...]

Takeovers and mergers, who knew that faith was so fickle – Religion is a business, why is it not taxed like the rest of us?

It appears that catholic wing of the faith business is seeking to merge with that part of the anglican wing that shares their views on hating women and homosexuals, while okaying the abuse of children and the official and systematic use of church mechanisms to attempt to cover it up.
To facilitate this unholy merger the [...]

More fiscal conservatism from Harper – every criminal needs gaol time

Once more we see the fiscally conservative nature of the modern conservative. Harper and his cronies, not satisfied with the debt they have already secured for us, have decided that appearances are more important than reality. They are gonna flood the gaols with criminals just so the average CPoC supporter can feel all macho and [...]

Nobody lies like a Tory – Conservatives in Canada buy votes

Well deary me. The personality cult that has formed around Stephen Harper has fallen into the trap that all totalitarian parties fall  into. Hypocrisy.
So “Reform” Stevie will pay off whoever he needs to in order to hold onto power, so much for doing the right thing. Add this to the list of principles that the [...]

Pope – hypocrite, stand up comedian or demented fool?

The pope has decided to warn Africa about the perils that it still faces now that European colonialism has been defeated. Materialism that spiritually bankrupt philosophy that recommends that you should only believe what you can show to be real is the greatest threat to Africans according to Papa Ratzy.
He rejoices  in the defeat of [...]

Afghanistan – all the right have left is romanticising it.

I believe that when a true coalition went into Afghanistan following the destruction of the Twin Towers by religious whackjobs, it was a just enterprise. Fighting against the Taliban and Al Quaeda was a noble enterprise.
Then the extreme right in the USA decided that it would correct a sleight to it’s heroic self image by [...]
