Oh, Australia, you speech-censoring, net-nannying drunk. You’ve got some of the most attractive and pleasant people in the world. You produced Joan Sutherland, who remains the definitive Violetta in La Traviata, and Russel Crowe, who has made many excellent movies and who also knows that the only proper way to initiate a conversation with a New Yorker is to strike them sharply in the head with a rotary-dial telephone. And among all nations, you most reliably send your citizens to object when Popehat makes fun of you.
Now you’ve decided to use satelites to enforce pool safety — including rules that pool owners must clear trees if other people’s children might climb them to get to the pool.
Seriously, Australia. Do we need to put you in some sort of home, like your senile old ma?
