Submission + - Australia: Sen. Stephen Conroy Stays (abc.net.au)

GumphMaster writes: Senator Stephen Conroy has been left as Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy in the new Australian Prime Minister's reshuffle of jobs. From reaction on the ABC web site (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/06/28/2938876.htm) this seems to be a fairly unpopular move. Even those that assess Conroy's performance in getting the National Broadband Network (NBN) proposal running as "effective and capable" (http://www.zdnet.com.au/how-gillard-can-save-the-comms-ministry-339304076.htm) call him embarrassing. I guess we need to wait for the election and hope the people of Victoria give him a nudge.

Submission + - Dawkins to arrest Pope Benedict (ozjokes.com) 3

xavieramont writes: From TimesOnline UK: "RICHARD DAWKINS, the atheist campaigner, is planning a legal ambush to have the Pope arrested during his state visit to Britain “for crimes against humanity”. Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, the atheist author, have asked human rights lawyers to produce a case for charging Pope Benedict XVI over his alleged cover-up of sexual abuse in the Catholic church. The pair believe they can exploit the same legal principle used to arrest Augusto Pinochet, the late Chilean dictator, when he visited Britain in 1998." If this doesn't kickstart the Apocalypse, I don't know what will.

I'd rather just believe that it's done by little elves running around.
