Australians are going to be insufferable

I can tell it's going to be even worse than usual. They're going to have another Global Atheist Convention, which I predict will be even bigger and more successful than the first one, and now I'm getting requests to plug other skeptical events in Melbourne, as if the kangaroos and drop-bears who will attend that sort of thing need even more recognition of their ungodly superiority over us gullible Americans.

It's going to be a long 11 months, isn't it? And even when it's over, Oz will be smirking in that superior way over how they were able to pull off such a grand event.

Hey! How about if some of the smart Aussies come over here? All we ever get are the dregs.
