Well what a strange two and a half weeks I’ve had.
On September the 29 at 12:08pm (EST) I got a message on FaceBook, from a woman in Florida. It read,
Hi Stefan, Was You Born in Australia or Birmingham, England. UK?

Is Your birthday 19th December 1971?

Anyone would think that, at a time of dwindling oil supplies and rising oil prices, the Victorian State Government would be looking a hybrid police cars and alternate fuels sources. Seems like a no-brainer to me. But in a radical, some might say downright backwards move, the boys and girl in blue will be tooling around in a fleet of five shiny new Hummers.
Police Assistant Commissioner Gary Jamieson says,

Well the people of Palestine have expressed their will by voting for Hamas and it looks like Bush is a tad pissed.
According to Condoleezza Rice “You cannot have one foot in politics and the other in terror.” Unless you are the United States of course.
“I don’t see how you can be a partner in peace if you advocate the destruction of a country as part of your platform and I know you can’t be a partner in peace if your party has got an armed wing,” said Mr. Bush.
