Hello, here's what's been happening in the news today.

Yesterday at the UN General Assmebly in New York, Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, drew a red line on a drawing of a picture of a bomb, stating as he did so that Iran was 90% complete to having a nuclear bomb.

He then apologised, saying that the card he pulled out was meant for a charity fundraiser he was attending the next day.

Scientists in Australia have suggested reintroducing dingoes back to the landscape, in order to curb the feral cats and foxes that are overrunning the areas where dingoes are being culled.
 
I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure there's a reason why dingoes were being culled in the first place, right?

Facebook today has rolled out a new service called Facebook Gifts, for their US users to send real-life gifts to their friends on their birthdays, with hopes that the service will eventually be made available to everyone around the world.

This is a great idea, because although I am so cheap as to not want to make a phone call or send an SMS to my friend on their birthday, I am definitely willing to send them an actual gift that would cost me money. And if that person I'm wishing a happy birthday was truly a close friend, then sending them a generic gift would be something I would definitely do. So great move Facebook, it really is a wonder as to why your share prices are plummeting.

Federal Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, has today defended the comment that he had made earlier this week of, if he "say to you everyone in this room, 'if you want to bid next week in our spectrum auction you better wear red underpants on your head', you'll be wearing them on your head."  
 
Although to be fair, this was probably the only way anyone would join his version of The Justice League where the superheroes have to wear their underwear on their head as masks.

The Federal Government has finally settled its case with James Ashby, paying the Speaker of the House Peter Slipper's former staffer a grand total of $50,000. But this is not enough for James Ashby, who is now considering sueing Attorney-General Nicola Roxon for her comments in regards to the settlement of his lawsuit.
 
Which brings me to my rant I like to call, "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
 
What the hell is wrong with you, James Ashby?! You just won $50,000 from a lawsuit that anyone would tell you, you were lucky to have received anything from, seeing as there was a lack of any evidence in your favor. And now you want to risk losing all that money in court fees just to sue the Attorney-General over some trifle comment she made? I mean, what the hell is wrong with you?!
 
And seriously, James Ashby, what the hell is wrong with you?! I'm not saying you are one or that anyone should do this kind job, but a hooker would be pleased to be in your position. I mean, you effectively got paid for some random sexual innuendos thrown your way without having to do anything sexual. That, in the prostitution industry, is the dream. And you walked away with $50,000 for it. I mean, what the hell is wrong with you?!
 
Finally, James Ashby, what the hell is wrong with you?! Have you no idea what the media has portrayed of you? I'll admit that initially, they seemed sympathetic to you. But after a while, as new evidence revealed themselves, the media has made you out to be a liar who simply is someone else's puppet in their grand scheme of things. And now, you want to sue one of the most powerful women in Australia over some comment, which by all fairness she had a right to say. Think about it - the media has already made you seem like a whimp. Now, that you are someone who is so petty that they would pick a fight with a woman over some comment she made, think about what they're going to do to you. I mean, seriously James Ashby, what the hell is wrong with you?!

And that's the news for tonight. See you all next time!
