Air Money, Air & the Unfortunate Drain Humanity is on The Economy.

Air Money, Air & the Unfortunate Drain Humanity is on The Economy.

Fake cake … Is see the NeoLiberal collectives are banding together to prevent, is it Fake-Book, Google, Amazon – their fellow corporate monopolisers,etc – issuing their own air cash. Funny that, the neoliberal world, crying poor and stopping the very thing they say it is that life is all about; Free Trade and Market Liberalism. A lot like us here in the right god-fearing West banding together and telling the wrong god fearing East that the things that are good…

These Ermine Galahads and the ‘Natural Government of Women’.

These Ermine Galahads and the ‘Natural Government of Women’.

How do these miracle men dare to get up in front of their crowds and preach overpopulation at the same time as telling us that we can’t afford them … a population that is .. and, at the same time, invoke the interests of all 25 million of us. Listening to Old Suicide in the wee hours of the morning over this past weekend I thought I’d heard enough stupidity regarding these educational salons … And then, good old Tough…

Questions of Free Speech & PC.

Questions of Free Speech & PC.

“Tyranny usurps the place of equality, which is the soul of liberty, and destroys the public courage.” – Thomas Gordon. How is it that there has become a ‘RIGHT not to be offended’? What does this mean? The RIGHT not to be offended by what, honesty, sincerity, truth? How is it that such a beautiful country full of character, humanity, egality, such a multicultural combination of peaceful experience as we were such a very short time ago … How is…

An Open Letter to GetUp.

An Open Letter to GetUp.

An Open Letter to GetUp. Why write a letter like this? Because I’ve been asked to. I’m constantly bombarded by requests for cash donations from GetUp which in the current political climate full of fear, denial of basic rights, and moral bankruptcy is not within my means .. much as I wish it was. I’m concerned that GetUp itself, is becoming just another self-interested organisation chasing the fast buck. Another neoliberal excuse maker. I’ve supported GetUp through the last few…

An Interesting Exercise.

An Interesting Exercise.

The King gives me much to think about on dark damp days … Could I say, he provokes much thought? His recent utterances regarding progress and the change he has in store for our futures sent me scurrying for my dictionaries .. those old hard copy things us fools carry about. Has he finally spoke some truth? Well, who am I to say, I think my education is rather broader than his .. no wonder he seeks to stifle our…

Big Books and Little Books

Big Books and Little Books

You know, I’m a book addict. Since I was very little books have been all around me. I grew up in a land without TV with parents who read. My Dad read technical books and books on sailing .. and that’s really all I remember about his books .. my Mum, I think she read everything; at least she read everything to me and my little sister. Bedtime stories, Hobbits, Boland light railways under the table in storms. Little golden…

Bowel Shakin’ & Bone Crunching.

Bowel Shakin’ & Bone Crunching.

A funny thing happened on the way to my church yesterday. Im an evening church attender .. the darkness that surrounds me matches the message better. Also, of course, there’s not much point going to the Palace of Kings until you’re well and truly in the mood. And 8 hours of Rugby League Advertising sure does put you there. So listening still to Old Suicide .. this young lady came on the air to talk about respect. She had an…

This Little Symbol ..

This Little Symbol ..

? Its a question mark; a mark of ignorance. Usually preceded by a collection of words, it signifies that a question has been asked. Its true that it does not require, in itself, that the preceding collection of words should be answered, though, generally, when one sees this little symbol one jumps to give it an answer. An answer gives the little symbol some dignity .. even to a collection of words that appear to be undignified. So you see…

Another Gold-plated Garden Gnome.

Another Gold-plated Garden Gnome.

Well, we’re off and running. Fairs fair. I see we’ve voted the Priest-king a bit of a fillip to his woefully empty pot of gold. We’ve got to get him to stop spending so much on his welfare. 10,000 buckaroos .. tax deductible, of course. I suppose its only fair. 10,000 shmackers. Thats the equivalent of being assigned a disenfranchised characterless ex-Aussie to wash his and his kids feet everyday while he dribbles on them. Well, as his Moron for…

Rightly So .. Rightly So …

Its excellent bait for carp, he says. The old fella wades over to me through the mush and says, Gimme a look, what is it your using? Ive never seen a young fella stand about for so long and not catch nothin .. . Well, I say, I’m not trying very hard, truth is I’m actually hoping not to catch one .. I don’t want to have to kill it. He chuckles. Look son, getta hold of one a these….
