Federal police have used capsicum spray to subdue an angry taxi driver at Sydney’s International Airport, leading to retaliation by other drivers which stopped traffic at the terminal.

About 7.30am (AEST) on Tuesday the driver was asked by police to move his taxi, but refused.”The AFP can confirm it attended a disturbance at the taxi rank at Sydney International Airport this morning,” an AFP spokesman said.

Well well well. Not much to say about this story except “this is not America”.

Enjoy your sh*t-storm AFP. Time to rethink some of those “strategies” I believe. You may want to think about getting a refund for any consultancy fees that went along with those “strategies” as well…

The New South Wales Education Department says an 11-year-old girl thought she was eating a lolly yesterday when she and two boys swallowed what are believed to have been ecstasy tablets at school.

The girl brought the tablets to Windang Public School, south of Wollongong on the state’s south coast, and gave them to the 10-year-old boys at lunchtime yesterday.

Well it appears the education crisis in Australia may be getting slightly out of hand. We have pre-pubesent children, not only taking drugs at school, but having the ability to obtain them in the first place. Ritalin, your days are numbered, a new kid is in town. Stupidity.

But whose stupidity is the question at hand. The kids? The parents? The schools (again)? The politicians? The community? Or perhaps it’s the combination of all forming a collation of sorts to undermine the intelligence quota of people in general?

Ah apathy. You’re a sneaky sort.

Picture not related, but is, and isn’t…

Prime Minister John Howard has set November 24 as the election date, saying it will be fought on the economy and who can provide Australia with the “right leadership”.

Well it’s about bloody time Highness. But with previous inefficient behavior, it’s really not that much of a surprise Howard left the election to the last possible moment.

I’d wish you luck Mr Howard, but I don’t think it will do much good. You’ve shown where your loyalties lie and it’s unfortunate that it appears they no longer lie with your own constituents anymore.

Where are the Democrats when you need them? Oh, that’s right… Don’t make me run for a seat myself and make me go to Canberra to remind you of your obligations. Just wake-the-f*ck-up already.

That’s it. I will stay silent no longer. It’s about time to fire these parasites into orbit. Why am I having these thoughts at this particular time? Simple.

Just finished watching a biography on Sir Sean Connery and I’m having a hard time swallowing what these so-called experts, critics and biographers are spouting. No, on second thoughts, it closer to sheer disbelief these individuals are paid for their observations.

But wait, what was the deciding factor, in the creation of this post? Quite simply the fact these highly paid opinionated arseholes (my apologies to more serious critics, but when you share the same boat…) can not differentiate between an actors ability and a poorly constructed script or horrendous direction/production/etc.

So in closing, if you wish to sit on your butt and give crap to anyone (actors, politicians, parents, etc), you’d best hope you at least have an idea of what-the-f*ck you are talking about.

Oh education. What has become of thee?
