First, we had the fake Mickey Mouse. Then we had fake lip-synching kid at the opening ceremony. The organisers had made a decision to use a Milli Vanilli-style replacement for the real child who, with a chubby face and apparently crooked teeth, was deemed by Communist party officials to be insufficiently pretty to be the face of Communist China. And quite a few other things were apparently fake too.

Dr Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie-Mellon University, passed away a few days ago due to pancreatic cancer.  Here’s his Last Lecture entitled, “Really achieving your childhood dreams”:

Inspired by the Lolcats and Kate McCulloch of Camden, Austrolabe proudly presents…

As regular readers will be aware, Austrolabe’s mascot is the pigeon-chested anti-Muslim campaigner Darrin (sic) Hodges. Here he is above (on the far right, with red shirt and video camera) with people we assume are his fellow “protectionist” chums. With friends like this, it will come as no surprise that Darrin also appears to be or have been a regular contributor to the neo-Nazi forum Stormfront, where unlike the other hairy chested extremists, he lacks the instinct for self-preservation and posts under his own name. Genius like that can only be a gift from God……………………………to us.

More recently, Dazza has made an appearance on the ABC’s Q and A program during a debate on the Camden Islamic school controversy. Darrin appears, wearing a red shirt and tie, and proceeds to ask a series of ridiculous questions in his irritating nasal voice.

You can watch his performance below:

Hodges calls for all development to be subject to a “cultural impact statement” and responds to Australian Greens leader Bob Brown’s suggestion that Australian Muslims love their children with the compelling argument that “in Iran, you’d [Bob Brown] be hung”.

After watching his gormless public efforts, we can only conclude that the gene pool for the master race is rapidly shrinking. We also wonder how much of the so-called community resistance to the Islamic school is run by the neo-Nazi movement.

In May this year, Iran hosted the 21st International Conference of Islamic Unity.  Here are a series of inspiring photos from the conference (Via Heidariam.blogfa.com):

After ruling that a planned Muslim school should not be allowed to go ahead in their community, Camden Council is now asking the Federal Government to give them some money to run, of all things,  programs to promote “multiculturalism”.

The Dunkin’ Donuts chain recently screened an advertisement with a celebrity chef called Rachel Ray wearing what appears to be a Palestinian keffeyeh around her neck whilst sipping on a latte.

Michelle Malkin (above), an American blogger and columnist, was appalled at seeing a celebrity chef giving aid and comfort to the enemy by wearing a scarf in a donut commercial that sort of looks like a scarf worn by Palestinians.

I’ve been a fan of Dunkin’ Donuts for years. Their Munchkins are heaven. Their coffee is better and cheaper than Starbucks. And the company’s management has taken a brave and lonely stand in support of immigration enforcement — refusing to hire illegal aliens and blowing the whistle on applicants with bogus Social Security numbers.

So it was with some dismay that I learned last week that Dunkin’ Donuts spokeswoman Rachael Ray, the ubiquitous TV hostess, posed for one of the company’s ads in what appeared to be a black-and-white keffiyeh.

NSW’s Camden Council have decided to reject the application to build an Islamic school in the area on “planning grounds“. The locals have been going to some lengths to make sure nobody gets the wrong idea and thinks that all this was motivated by racism or anti-Muslim bigotry. AFP reports:

Resident Kate McCulloch, who attended Tuesday night’s meeting in a wide-brimmed bush hat wrapped with an Australian flag, said Muslims were not welcome in the semi-rural area.

“We just don’t want Muslim people in Camden,” she told reporters after the meeting.

“We don’t want them not only here, we don’t want them in Australia. They’re an oppressive society, they’re a dictatorship.”
