Probably irrelevant, but amusing nonetheless:

Yeah I saw this about 15 minutes ago... made me laugh. Though they're being a little bit hard on him I think.

"I believe there is God's justice in action in what is going on here. We haven't seen the end of it. The ultimate conclusion is like I say, we look at Bible prophecy, we are going towards a one world bank and a one world monetary system. And if you believe the word of God and you read Revelations...you will see clearly what is being spelt out. We in the end times."

This guy got preselection how?

I like Christianity.

I don't have a problem with religion itself, but saying that the global financial crisis was caused by divine intervention or something like that seems just a little overboard.

Agreed. BTW... I was just being annoying before. I do like Christianity, but claiming that this is some sort of divine intervention is just ridiculous.... He needs to keep his mouth shut, considering he has already been in enough controversy this week.

Liberals melted away out of the chamber, some came in as the division bells rang, only to walk out again. One Liberal Senator did a lap of the chamber before running to get out as the doors closed.


fucking LOL. Anyone have a video of that?
