Paramount Pictures was nice enough to send me a complimentary double pass and soundtrack CD for Black Snake Moan, after I won some competition at atomicmpc. Now you would think a big company like Paramount Pictures can spare some change and send the CD in I don't know... a CD …

Yes, but when it comes down to it he's not hugely relevant so is ignorable internationally - his government has pretty well been in caretaker mode for the last decade and his foreign policy is "me too". Even a major US newspaper got his name wrong and called him Mike Hunt …
If you don't want to defend yourself, it is your right not to. To say that I cannot defend myself is to say that I don't matter, and those who would violate me do. I respectfully disagree.

Yep, bought Creation today in order to get over the EFTPOS limit. So another "issue" of Debunking Creation is out :-) I actually missed an issue, but didn't realise - ops

Refreshing to see a politican who is putting the environment before economics:
