The government of Australia has apparently lost it’s frakking mind. It has a secret list of nearly 1400 sites that can get Australian website owners fined $11K (AUD) for linking to them and there’s now a report out that the number of censored sites could expand to 10K.
Already, a significant portion of the 1370-site Australian blacklist - 506 sites - would be classified R18+ and X18+, which are legal to view but would be blocked for everyone under the proposal. The Government has said it was considering expanding the blacklist to 10,000 sites and beyond.
Australia has its crazies just like the rest of us, but this is something you expect out of a place like Saudi, not a western democracy such as Australia.

What is amusing is that he will not be giving this speech in America. His first post-presidential speech is going to take place in [...]
If there’s one thing conservatives love to whine about it is the ‘pre-born babies’ that are ‘murdered’ every day in America. So you’d think they’d actually give a fuck or two about ‘post-born babies’, right?
Wrong. Greg Sargent got his hands on a list of things they would like eliminated or reduced from the stimulus package:
Eliminations:

In September of last year I wrote a piece on why I hate Sarah Palin. Number one on that list was her support of a unnecessary program of hunting wolves by air. Now that she’s back in Alaska she apparently wants to broaden the program:
The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality. — George Bernard Shaw
