Cundall...he is quite a bloke.
He would make an excellent prime minister

As he doled out money for national programs, he'd say: and that's yer bloomin' lot for the week

Saladin and Genghis Khan

Georgie M has posted the most compelling letter so far this ... week, month, year...and he/she capped it off with a piece about the Great Khan [Da Khan]who, despite his reputation, was indeed the most tolerant and inclusive of history's conquerors. Following this, if one looks at history [no need to ape the yanks with the term 'history books'] the great Saladin was extremely tolerant of non-Muslim religions, and Christians, Jews and Muslims got along fine with each other as a result of his wise leadership.

Sydney's Telegraph fucking our language again

Why the apostrophe for students? I am sure Malcolm Farr didn't write this glaringly wrong headline. Again, the Telegraph betrays its hopelessly ill-trained and ill-educated staff. But then this is Australier ...[sic]

Sadiq Farris brings to mind the image of Mr Bean trying to communicate with Marcel Marceau. Interesting! Now that I would pay to see. Britney? Not even a good clown!

The whole world needs to speak English

I fully expect Italy, Greece, Poland, Russia and even Ireland to speak only English. Remember the Sydney lady who, in 1954, returned from Rome only to complain that there were too many 'New Australians' over there?

Australian Liberals need to be debated

I think we Australians should have a debate about the fear of Liberals. Think about it. Menzies sold pig iron to the Japanese to help them in their attempted conquest of the pacific and Australia. He then tried to get us to invade Suez but was thwarted by Gamal Abdel Nasser, a Muslim. He then sent our soldiers into Vietnam and his retinue continued to lie to us as to the righteousness of the Liberal decision to wage war against the Vietnamese. Then Howard lied to us about WMD and sent our soldiers into Iraq ... then into Afghanistan.
Many of our soldiers have died because of Liberal lies and dreadful political decisions that reek of lies and political chicanery. Then the awful Kevin Andrews lied about Dr Haneef and blackened our reputation internationally. Now he's back, like a rotten smell, trying top stir feelings against fellow Australians. How far can these Liberals go in order to justify their existence? It is time to debate their existence in Australia and their legacy of lies war and hatred. It is time to ask about the Australians who have died because of Liberal deceit. Yes, let's debate the Liberals and Kevin Andrews himself.

One has to be depraved in order to rape. How can rapists not be depraved? The judge is out of order.
