blogging it real

A few months back Bennyasena made the point that it's a bit rich for the Catholic Church to be hectoring us about morality and the family. Well, the dicks aren't that easily deterred, and now the chief of Calgary's Bishopric is calling on the Canadian government to "suppress homosexuality and other behaviour deemed to hurt the family" Deemed by whom: a church renowned for its sexual abuses and attempts to cover them up? Get on with your job, dicks, and stop bothering the rest of us about "homosexuality, adultery, prostitution and pornography undermin[ing] the foundations of the family, the basis of society." In any case, trying to suppress these things using the coercive power of the state is likely to be as successful as trying to suppress marijuana using the coercive power of the state - not very. Aren't the prisons full enough without re-inventing lifestyle crimes? What a shower of wankers. Ooops, I bet wankery undermines the family too ... bugger. Damn, there I go again, buggery is no good for the family either.

The only other news story to have caught my eye of late concerns the Auckland Police being left in the wake of a 2003 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, which has a 512-horsepower engine. The writer of this story can hardly conceal his satisfaction. Ha ha, dicks - go back to pulling over little old ladies in their Toyota Starlets doing 61kph along main arterial routes. They can run but they can't hide.
