Apparently the guy spent 20 minutes in the toilet before attempting to set off a bomb in his underpants. I imagine he was saying goodbye.
The turkey flip
The Hobart Mercury 19/12/09
We’ve all heard about the monster turkeys being served up for Christmas in Tasmania this year, but spare a thought for the premier. The poor bastard’s got a whole freezer full that he needs us to choke down and hope the food poisoning doesn’t kick in before next March.
Perhaps the Miracle Of Christmas will kick in and everything will be fine, but Santa knows whether you’ve been good or bad no matter how much you pay your public relations department, so if I were you I’d be politely declining a slice of David’s Turkey this festive season.
Wowsers

Looks like Bloody Stupid Stephen Conroy’s pushing ahead with his Bloody Stupid Net Filter. Now, I’m all for Thinking Of The Children, in fact, I’ve got two children of my own and think of them often, but on the scale of Thinking Of The Children And Their Future, the Bloody Stupid Net Filter rates even lower than Penny Wong’s Bloody Inadequate CPRS. It self-evidently isn’t going to do what it says on the box, but will no doubt encourage the wowsers to come boiling out of the woodwork and these people really don’t need any encouraging.
Governments can’t be trusted with censorship at the best of times, and our current god-bothering spin obsessed PM less so than most.
