Health warning
Andrew Bolt
One of the ads before the screen of Sex and the City I saw was for treatment for genital herpes. And from the city which spawned the show:

A city Health Department study finds that more than a fourth of adult New Yorkers are infected with the virus that causes genital herpes.

94 per cent is an A+ for groupthink
Andrew Bolt
Melbourne University lecturer Barbara Keys has students who sure toe the party line. An American, she asked her USA and the World class to decide which presidential candidate she would vote for in November. The results, as posted by Keys on her course website:

Wed, May 28, 2008—Obama Wins!
91 votes for Obama, 7 for McCain, 1 Nader, 1 Gore, 1 Clinton, 2 Nobody; 2 votes disqualified (one because of a reference to ‘our country,’ suggesting that the voter is an American citizen; one for comment ‘make up your own freakin’ mind’ )”

A vote of nearly 94 per cent to the Left - and 91 per cent to Obama, the most Left of the two Democratic candidates then still in the race. I suspect strong powers of suggestion.

Who will then save them?
Andrew Bolt
If even the Aboriginal police don’t know it’s wrong....

A boy’s appeal
Andrew Bolt
Is this the best way to deal with the problem? I’m not sure, but very much hope so - and in any case greatly admire this boy’s courage:

FOUR years of constant bullying left young Elijah Vetma contemplating suicide last year.

The sweet 12-year-old endures daily taunts, is forced to wander the school yard alone and is left out of team activities.

Warm plus gas equals green
Andrew Bolt
NASA scientists find that a little warming and some extra carbon dioxide are great for green:

They found that over a period of almost two decades, the Earth as a whole became more bountiful by a whopping 6.2%. About 25% of the Earth’s vegetated landmass—almost 110 million square kilometres—enjoyed significant increases and only 7% showed significant declines. When the satellite data zooms in, it finds that each square metre of land, on average, now produces almost 500 grams of greenery per year.

Rudd bombs
Andrew Bolt
Kevin Rudd draws the wrong conclusion - and feeds a dangerous victimhood:

The Della Bosca affair is turning into a genuine scandal, and a sick-making insight into NSW Labor:

Rudd spins on oil
Andrew Bolt
I thought his diplomacy was his strongest suit. But Kevin Rudd’s attack on OPEC astonishes Adam Shaw, on BBC Radio 4’s Today program:

AN astounding thing was said by the Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, who said that the G8 needed to put more pressure on OPEC. I think he said that we need to take a blowtorch to them, which is an extraordinary thing to say.
