A children's program in the seventies featured a super hero called Shazam. The character was based on Captain Marvel and got a strong response from the audience in a boy demographic. Producers wanted to have a similar program for girls. They found an Egyptian Goddess that had no obvious drawbacks or bad associations, Isis. Today, an eight year old girl, Isis, is utterly heartbroken by the response her name inspires. It is all right, Isis, just keep your head, and don't take others. In the tv program, the character was summonsed by the lead turning around and calling out her name. Best not to do that outdoors these days. One person who is brave enough to attempt such is Cate Blanchet. But don't let Cate sign a sick certificate for your employer. On this slow news day we found out that Dracula was misunderstood, and his terrorist activity overstated. A good samaritan on a train who went to the aid of a woman being monster-ed by two 'men' got beaten up. Coroner criticises police investigation nineteen years ago and declares the missing man murdered. Police corner a man in Brisbane and shoot him dead as he raised a weapon. A Simpson's character has died, but no one remembered ever seeing him.
In more serious news, Clive Palmer has claimed to have won 90% of court cases he fights. He has actually won 6% of court cases in the last eighteen months. He should fight more of them. Sophie Mirabella may have lost her seat to an electoral fraud. Australia records another big deficit, thanks to the ALP. Senator Wong had lost over one hundred billion dollars in preceding budgets, it may have reached over $140 billion unaccounted for.
The ALP are involved with corruption and bad management, but they had supporters who helped, and they help terrorists too. ABC has claimed Australia's need for a strong defence force is a myth. 'Q and A' provides excuses from terrorist apologists delivered straight to media who want to tell terrorists. Some of the excuses put Australia in danger of being hit. It looks like an Afghan expat was killed for being Australian. Crikey expresses concern for those demonising others. Yet Crikey demonises conservatives as editorial policy. Steyn comments on a workplace accident involving an Islamic convert decapitating a colleague. Obama admits an intelligence failure regarding ISIS in Syria going back two years. Only those two years involved an election he was so desperate for that he lied about Benghazi. Tim Blair provides a guide to avoiding terrorists. They say justice is blind, but she appears to be racist. Going back in time in Afghanistan, one sees women living free lives. Once upon a time Islam celebrated wine and women in poetry and lifestyle. Amanda Vanstone drew on myth to denounce Christians so as to reconcile with Islam through Ataturk. Ataturk was successful in opposing radical clerics so that Turkish women today are unaccustomed to wearing 'traditional' robes. But the pathetic truth is exposed with an Islamic conference where terrorists are welcome, but journalists are not.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...
