That Sinking Feeling...

Is it just me, or is there something so fundamentally wrong about the security measures the Coalition has taken in regards to the impending APEC Summit? Nevermind the five-kilometre fences, the screwy bus timetables and the police scuttling everywhere, I'm talking about the new "You're-Allowed-To-Shoot-Civilians" laws our loveable Prime Minister ( Read more... )

what i think is funny, is that in the middle of like massive water sortages they develop a new water cannon tank that shoots more water then ever before! And instead of using it to high power water some bush blazes its being used to bathe lefties at maximum velocity

You know what, I am totally not surprised by this!

It makes you wonder though, just *how* they managed to develop said new water cannons... Like, they had to test them out at some point, and not just right at the end when they're launching them onto the market, but all throughout their development.

Maybe they thought they'd solve our water distribution problems by making the BIGGEST WATER SPRINKLER known to MAN using these new water cannons, able to shoot some of Darwin's monsoonal rainfall over to Sydney's thirsty Murray-Darling Basin.

And anyone who points out how convoluted this water transportation method is, or how expensive it was to develop, can simply be blasted away! Chronic drought and possible complaints all gone at the flick of a switch! Amazing!

Though noble is the ambition, one really wonder as to the efficiency of the water cannon. For one, I (an unwashed feral) welcome the idea of a free high-velocity bath. But I suspect there is an alternative niche for this technology, namely, the prevention of a large-scale firestorm in the middle of the CBD. Of course, all of us have read http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22357222-5013109,00.html and so we all know everything about the missing rocket launchers. MISSING. ROCKET. LAUNCHERS. Thats right, our own little leftie poppets, mired in Marxism and disabled by chronic pot habits, have somehow hidden nine M-72 fold-out recoilless rifles, having harboured them and lovingly cared for them for five years (since they went missing in a flurry of ridiculous finger-pointing and arse-covering in 2002). And for the last five years security officials have rolled uneasy in their luxurious bed linen, awaking every few hours to mewl in horror as the ( ... )

what the article doesnt mention was that a part of the faux motorcade was an open-topped escort with an Arabic man dressed as Osama Bin Laden waving to crowds from the backseat. (http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22372814-5001021,00.html)
