Admitting the Obvious

So the Australian government is finally admitting the obvious. That one of the real reasons we went to war in Iraq is oil. Not weapons of mass destruction, or ousting Saddam, or Iraqi liberation or even "The War on Terror."

Side Fact: Al Qaeda had no presence in Iraq until after the 2003 invasion. Iraq was officially a secular nation, and Saddam had no time for extremist Islam.

Serious Satire

The Chasers War on Everything & [Scrubs] are my favorite TV shows. I particularly like the Chaser because of it's hilarious satire and bagging out of popular Ads & TV Shows. Satire in general amuses me, because it points out the stupidities in what we often accept as normal.

However, the best piece of satire I've seen recently is the following video produced by the Stir team of World Vision. Really points out how lucky we are in Australia, and how most of us 'Aussie Battlers' really aren't battling that hard at all.

The first ever gold medal by an Australian at the Winter Olympics

Like the catch & celebration of Dwayne Leverock, this one just gets better every time I watch it.
