The Australian's latest columnist "Why I want to bite Kevin Rudd in the head".Very interesting and well written piece, looking at the troubles over at The Australian, on the Australian internet magazine Inside Story.
The only comment I'll make is to replay Julia Gillard's crack - something along the lines of "If The Australian published yesterday's football scores, I'd still want to double check".
And is it just me or is Janet Albrechtsen increasingly looking like she's about to go postal in the ALP caucus room with a butter knife?

Off topic but quickly can you nominate Victoria's crappest country town for me? I need one urgently.
ReplyDeleteMoe.
ReplyDeleteMorwell's worse.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like The Australian on weekends. The Saturday Age is an over-rated piece of shit. I use it to get the potbelly going.

ReplyDeleteMoe's bad but too obvious, I was told West Wyalong's a hole but I've never been there.
ReplyDeleteFor non-obvious I recommend Birregurra. When you drive into town you can see the guns pointing out the windows. Also, they have an annual ute festival.
ReplyDeleteOr there's always Mirboo North. Inbreeds.
Most of Gippsland is pretty scary.
ReplyDeleteAnd Crikey's been pretty shit, of late.
Bena. I know you've never heard of it. It is a speed trap held together by a rogue's second hand shed and a grocery/postoffice.
ReplyDeleteAnd Crikey's been pretty shit, of late.
ReplyDeleteA bit. I still prefer it to the mainstream press though. I like Guy Rundle's work and First Dog. Bernard Keane is hard to read.
"Caucus"
ReplyDeleteI love that word.
Do things ever get raucous in the caucus?
And Crikey's been pretty shit, of late.
ReplyDeleteCatblogging being a prime example of this.
I'd be looking in irrigation country, e.g. Tatura, or worse still former-irrigation country e.g. Kerang.
ReplyDeleteSpecial mentions to Ouyen and Kaniva.
West Wylong is in New South.
Oi, Dr. Golf. You leave Ouyen alone. A fine place it is. Only awesome people come from Ouyen.
ReplyDeleteDo things ever get raucous in the caucus?
ReplyDeleteYes EMS.
Yes, they do.
Credit where it's due. Yesterday I said Bernard Keane is hard to read and then he delivered an excellent article on Hu and Australians incarcerated overseas.
ReplyDeleteI've always like Bern's stuff.
ReplyDeleteGuy Rundle I hate with a passion.

ReplyDeleteMay I ask why Ramon? He seems to be somewhat of a political scientist, like yourself. Professional rivalry perhaps?
I find him neither intelligent or original, a pale Hunter S Thompson wanna be.
ReplyDeleteAlso - we seem to be getting a hammering in the cricket.
There's no "seem to be" about it. We're getting hammered. Punter got a bit unlucky though.
ReplyDeletePunter is a useless, fat idiot.
ReplyDeleteGreat batsman (normally) crap skipper. Putting North on when he did? Fucking stupid.
ReplyDeletePunter is a useless, fat idiot.
ReplyDeleteNow this I'll take issue with. Useless? Yes. Idiot? Undoubtedly. Fat? Uh, I don't think so.
I'm old/young enough to remember a certain Merv Hughes and a certain Mark "Tubby" Taylor (I mean, it's right there in his name) and a certain Shane "I'm a fat, sleazy prick" Warne. Those guys you could safely call "on the larger side".
Ponting's a douche, but he's not a fat douche.
I mean he's mentally fat.
ReplyDeleteDoes that even make sense?
I get you Ramon. You can call someone a big, fat idiot. It's attributing largeness to the idiot part, not to the person's body.
ReplyDeleteKids understand this type of sentence structure.
Thank you Melba.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I confuse even myself.
Oh!
ReplyDeleteRight. You mean a "BIGFATIDIOT!"
Gotcha.
Although if they in fact manage to pull off a win tonight, I reserve the right to pretend I never said any of this.
ReplyDeleteIf they win tonight it won't have had a lot to do with Punter.
ReplyDeleteThe smh has summed him up though, check out the picture at:

Every time he gets interviewed and he hasn't shaved I shudder. But only because of Ramon.
ReplyDelete115-run loss.
ReplyDeletePunter is a useless, fat idiot.
And would it kill you to shave, you slob?
