I wonder what the heck Sheik Omran actually said? Did he really blame the drought on the infidel? I've heard both Christians and Pagans put the case that "out of control secular scientific values" are at least partly responsible for the environmental crisis, and that a more spiritual attitude to the Earth would help save us. But it's impossible to tell from the brief quotes the media are copying off each other what Omran's actual speech said.

Oh, it's on the TV news as well? I didn't know that; I gave up on TV news long ago. (Come to think of it, I'd have given up on the newspapers as well if it weren't for the comics page.)

Second or third headline on Seven, I can't remember the others. Special appearance by Fred Nile and everything! (It's all about the newspaper horoscopes for me, I confess.)

Ol' Fred has called for moratorium on Muslim immigration, which everyone is a bit puzzled about, since he's a NSW pollie and that's a Federal issue.

That's the safest sort of issue for a State pollie to raise: no-one can blame him if it doesn't happen.

I only knew about it because of Sky News at the gym, which pumps unhappy images at you on the cross-trainer. Last time it was terrifying stuff from the Garuda crash.

the connection between mood and heart rate seems to elude some people who build gyms, no?

Fitness through fear and panic. Sounds about right to me...

They need to point the bikes etc in the other direction.
