It's Official: Cane Toad to rule Australia

It's official.  Australia will become the first country in the world to be ruled by a cane toad.  Tony "Cane Toad" Abbott has become Oz's new PM.

O tempora!  O mores!

The March of the Anti-Christ

The ChrisTaliban have been opposing human rights for centuries.  This photograph (from Blue Truck, Red State) of a protest in 1957 in Little Rock Arkansas, against integration has some choice posters:  Race Mixing is Communism, and Stop the Race Mixing March of the Anti-Christ.

Every major human rights reform of the last two centuries has been opposed by the Christian-Fascists: the abolition of slavery; the right of women to own property; the vote for women; divorce; birth control; abolition of segregation; Black rights; and now, gay rights.

I confidently predict that the churches will be as embarrassed by their unwholesome, rancid and irrational  hatred of gays in fifty years time as they are now about their former support for slavery, subjugation of women, etc.

Obscurant

Words are such fun.  Obscurant, according to my favourite dictionary Chambers, means 'one who labours to prevent enlightenment or reform'.   The accent is on the first syllable.  The adjective for these drongos is obscurantist (emphasis on the '-rant')

The ChrisTaliban are pre-Copernican obscurants.

Glorious.
