Political.. Controversial.. whatever you want to describe News today.

Australian Prime Minister John Howard

From 2006:

The Prime Minister denies he has broken an election promise after the second interest rate rise since the Coalition was re-elected.

The Reserve Bank has lifted the cash rate by one-quarter of a percentage point to 5.75 per cent.

John Howard promised to keep interest rates low at the last federal election.

"What voters were asked to believe at the last election and what is the case, and it still remains absolutely the case, that a Coalition government would always have interest rates much lower than a Labor government," he said.

          Mate, wha'eva. That was last year. First you deprive people of welfare by introducing all these rich-people-friendly policies, and then you expect everyone especially disabled people and single parents to work extra harder to earn support payments which sly, lazy, well-to-do people could easily corrupt their way through to getting them. And now another interest rate rise (RBA lifted cash rate to 6.25%, the highest in 11 years)! I mean yeah sure, Economics 101 says this should help combat other prices but whoah... so far you're just putting more and more people into povery and unemployment! Maybe this is part of ur plan? What's happening?

The "Natural Selector"

A dozen others were wounded when Pekka-Eric Auvinen, 18 - who admired Hitler - carried out his murderous plan.

The shooting has stunned Finland, where such violence is extremely rare.

Witnesses described chaos and panic as Auvinen killed the headmistress, five boys, two girls, and wounded a dozen others as they tried to flee the carnage.

The "natural selector" - used a chilling internet video posting to foreshadow his plan.

YouTube has since removed the posting and Auvinen's profile in which he wrote: "I, as a natural selector, will eliminate all who I see unfit, disgraces of human race and failures of natural selection."

"You might ask yourselves, why did I do this and what do I want? Well, most of you are too arrogant and closed-minded to understand," he said.

"I am ready to die for a cause I know is right, just and true ... even if I would lose or the battle would be only remembered as evil ... I will rather fight and die than live a long and unhappy life."

          Eliminating all who you see unfit, disgraces of human race and failures of natural selection hey? This is only true in only ONE aspect..... when you eliminated yourself from this Earth.

Ben Cousins

Wayward West Coast Eagles star Ben Cousins went on a five-day cocaine binge when it was believed he had travelled to the US to seek drug rehabilitation.

The Sydney Morning Herald has confirmed the 29-year-old former Eagles skipper was admitted to the Little Company of Mary Hospital in Los Angeles after police received an emergency call from an apartment last week.

The caller told the operator the  man was "on cocaine not acting right" and had been on the drug for five days.

Cousins, who is the centre of an unprecedented judicial inquiry into the Eagles,  spent two days in the hospital and was discharged last Friday.

          YOU'RE STILL MY BOO BEN-DER! Hahaha. Ok.. maybe not. No wait I take that back. No.. cannot. Wrooong. NO. I take that back! Beeeenn. I still think you're beautiful outside

Dance and Electro

Just love it!

Good song to be trippin to too!

Its 12.06am

          and I just got back from Uni. I feel so nice. I feel like a samaritan. I came across my ex presentation partner today when I handed in my assignment and I found out he was only gonna hand it in tmr. and I asked.. "Well... do you know what you're supposed to do? I mean... do u get it?". and he goes "I have no clue....".

          I gave him my email again and I told him if there was anything let me know. and while chatting with him just now around 10.30pm I couldnt be bothered going through notes and graphs on MSN and theres this program which we HAVE TO use to plot certain graphs and shit where only the uni computers have it, so I told him I'd just meet him in uni and help him there. I mean I cant be fucked typing equations and sending it to him on MSN.

          And after we did everything, he just couldnt believe it. All done within 40 minutes. It feeels soooooo good knowing that I actually helped him because well, just because! and also cuz I know how it feels like to know nothing .

          Actually its also because I told him if there was anything I could do to help, let me know. Cause I'm the kind where I wouldnt let myself go if I didnt keep to my word? Again this made me think of David, its because of him that I don't want to be like him? (i.e. not keeping to his word). Dunno hey theres been heaps of times where I use my David-experience as reference to why I would do this and why I wouldnt do what.

          Meh.

          Catchas losers!

Everyone just loves that Ben Cousins photo ey!
