"The Heart of the Nation"

Ooh, the Australian is really warming to it's election campaign task today.

In their rotating commentary headlines at the top of the page we have:

"The Rorts of Chairman Rudd" by "Jack the Insider". An Hil-AR-ious piece about Kevin Rudd being an admirer of China (hence a Communist).

Includes such pithy remarks as:

"The Kruddster spoke in Mandarin to Chinese Premier Hu Jintao but it’s never been clearly reported in the media what he actually said. The Kruddster was trying to welcome Premier Hu to Australia. The Kruddster got through that bit. It was only when he tried to wish Premier Hu a long and prosperous life that things went awry. If my Mandarin is anything to go by, the Kruddtser professed a deep admiration for Hu’s lower colon and wished that his children be covered in hair."


Oh stop it you wag! You're killing me with your wit! Kruddster! ROFLMAO!!


"Labor sees the light on next Kyoto phase" by that terribly well balanced Editor-at-Large Paul Kelly.

"Having spent 10 years of worship at the symbolic altar of Kyoto, Labor is suddenly selling a very different message. It is the opposite message: Kyoto has become conditional. Its sanctification is coming to an end."


"Activist Judiciary a looming menace" by the delightful Janet Albrechtson about how the female (!!) lawyers in the Labor Party threaten our future!!

"FRANKLY, there may be more to fear from Labor’s lady lawyers than from the union blokes who run the Labor Party. Astute Labor lawyers in a future Rudd government, women such as Julia Gillard, Nicola Roxon and Penny Wong, will surely have their eyes on the real prize: leaving a legacy that will outlast a term or two in government. That legacy may be an activist judiciary. A Rudd government may come and go, but the judges it appoints are there to stay."


FFS!

"Kevin feels the heat over Kyoto" by Dennis "Psepho" Shanahan. Seriously - another one? Do these guys think to compare notes at the start of the day?

"Labor’s attachment to the symbolism, and not the substance, of the Kyoto Protocol has been exposed, as has the party’s appreciation of where the international debate, and politics of, climate change is going."


What a disgraceful rag the Australian has become. If they barracked any harder or more obviously - well, I don't actually think they could.

Good on you guys. You keep pushing that barrow!

    Did she really say "lady lawyers"? Surely not. Surely you are mistaken? Please...

    Well, you have to give her points for alliteration: "Labor's lady lawyers".

    John Birmingham's on the money - the Right is HEAPS funnier than the Left! Or is your sense of humour too "crippled" by "political correctness" to see what a comedic genius the woman is?

Just follow the freakin rules

On Saturday morning, a 77 year old man was killed after being hit by a cyclist on Beach Rd in Mentone. That someone was killed walking in front of a bicycle is not surprising. Pretty much anyone who rides a bike in Melbourne will have had a pedestrian walk in front of them without looking at one time or another. The difference in this case is that this man was killed crossing with the 'green man' at pedestrian lights, by a 'peleton' of 200+ unofficially organised amateur riders that were either unable, or unwilling to break the bunch and stop in time. I can't help but think that bike/car relations in Melbourne are reaching some sort of crisis point. My daily ride to and from work, mainly along bike-friendly back streets, attracts abuse from motorists (and pedestrians) probably once a week on average. People hate bike riders. As a cyclist, the contempt with which I am treated by those in cars and pedestrians is really quite confronting. A short ride is enough...

Black Saturday

Image
Last Friday afternoon, John Brumby made what seemed like a ridiculous statement, that Saturday could be "the worst day ever in the history of the state." A combination of very high temperatures, extreme winds and bushland dried out by years of drought certainly had potential for something very nasty, but did anyone really think it would happen? There's been a lot of speculation that the reason for the staggering number of fatalities (it's currently 130 but is expected to go considerably higher) is due to the fact that people have forgotten Ash Wednesday. Not that it occurred, or that it was bad, but just how ferocious a fire can be. I was at the beach - Airey's Inlet, where folks are rightly spooked by fire (it was almost entirely destroyed in 1983). We knew it would be hot and that fire danger was extreme, but we had the fire plan in order (kinda) and spent most of the day marvelling at the ludicrous heat. With the radio on 774 listening for any mention of f...
