Today's Hoot!

Tim Blair reports the astonishing news that the Sunday Age's clueless columnist and hapless looney Terry Lane has condemned Australian PM John Howard for not caring that Australia lacks " mighty mountains and great lakes." Actually Lane's screed is mostly an even more bizarre tale involving an vast joint American and Syrian conspiracy plus cat urination, but that just doesn't have the feel good theme of missing mountains. I wonder if the Age's medical plan covers check-ups from the neck up?
