flunkies who can't sing as they mutter away to a thumping beat - chattering a useless, deviant monologue of prose

like ur fuccccin article, amirite

You see, the kids these days, they listen to the rap music, which gives them the brain damage. With the hippin' and the hoppin' and the bippin' and the boppin', they don't know what the jazz is all about.

Sam de Brito valiantly tries to inform mouthbreathing racist idiots that they get away with being racists here because, lord knows, if you tried that shit in america, all the black men in the room would beat the shit out of you and kill you!

...because THATS NOT AN UNHELPFUL RACIST STEREOTYPE OF BLACK PEOPLE IN THE US AT ALL IS IT SAM.

oh dear

I mean his heart was presumably in the right place but what the hell was he thinking!?

#leadershit

i still have $5 riding on this fwiw

why is barrie cassidy going to be getting credible intel when his predictions have gone with the pack and been wrong for the last two and a half years?

http://andrewelder.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/ruling-in-ruling-out.html - more like reality

yeah nah

they stay with gillard and lose what 35 seats, or they take a chance with the bloke who keeps winning lolpolls and lose fewer seats

congratulation, you still don't understand how leadership challenges happen!

congratulation, you're being pleasant

it is a non-story. who's talking to cassidy? crean? got burned last time. fitzgibbon? fitzgibbon is a fucking idiot.

who's going to stick their neck out for rudd when he has walked away and made them look like idiots twice in 12 months? which powerbrokers has rudd been courting to try and reverse their opposition? you will forgive my scepticism, we've been hearing the government will fall any day now for nearly three years now and it hasn't happened.

This is worth a read. I have it in a big compedium of Australian SF (edited by OG ILXor nf's dad, no less) and pleased to see it's free online.

Topical!

is it gillard-rudd erotic fanfic or

or

okey dokey

i should have read it tonight, instead of getting lost in ancient clusterfucks

gillard introduces a carbon scheme and abbott wants her sacked

one of his own is responsible for an utterly revolting sexist 'joke' and he's all 'what, it's fine'

and he refers to it as "scatological", which baffled me because there was no mention of poo ... does he even know what that word means!?

I was just having this argt with mum on weekend. she was all "he really isnt the evil sexist horror everyone makes him out to be, hes a good man, he has women all around him in cabinet and life bla bla"... I was like "what the fact he's a hard-right catholic doesnt bother you as leader of the country?" *&^&*^

don't make me google 'abbott scatological'

shitfinger abbott

Even though it means getting an Abbott govt, pleased the backlash seems likely to take Chris Bowen's seat away. What must it be like to sell your soul to get the votes of the racist rednecks, and then find out they don't even want to buy it?

^^ yes this

bowen will forever pay for his devil's advocate behaviour as immigration minister, even just as a human being with an unforgiving conscience

tbf i don't know what's worse, bowen withholding his values to prosecute a revolting ideology or morrison saying exactly what he thinks

bowen will forever look like a manchild as well
