Daily Diatribe

Later this week is the always effective World Environment Day, which seems to have done such a good job of capping global warming that it is now sub-Siberian in southern Queensland.

I don’t mind- I enjoy the cold, but those fucking polar bears going through my bins rather than flogging rum are a real pain in the arse.

The ABC of course has responded with balance- they have bullet-head enviro-pest and failed Senate candidate Peter Garett yammering with ratchet-jawed be-whiskered boring old fart George Fungus where no doubt minor exposure on the ABC, where you spout your predictable cobblers is better than no exposure at all; after all, if you appear before an audience who do not question your veracity, it is pure adulation.

Word up, Desert Head, you mainly get played these days on Austereo networks- you are as hip as Nickelback.

Fuck off to Byron Bay and annoy all the other sea-change shitheads- you have your own perfect environment already set up, and administered by the biggest pack of Nature-Nazis this side of a yurt park.

About 15,000 people rallied in Hong Kong to support expansion of democracy in China, despite the personal risk of acting against the Beijing regime.

Can the anti-war movement here raise a similar number, whose sole risk is being the subject of mirth from RWDB’s?

Were they marching with people asking to control their own destiny, rather than the few who pop up to apparently support the expansion of Wa’habi Isalm I would be impressed.

Just kidding; this august day has even hit soggy Bangladesh- one would have thought that in that neck of the woods you would be flat-out getting a light.

Gotta love these UN days aimed squarely at rich western nations that are picked up so freely by third-world dumps who have a lot more to worry about; the only likely problem with smoking is carking it a bit early- in a country where the average life expectancy is just over sixty, death from lung cancer rates pretty low compared to being drowned in one of the many innundations of a country just above sea level that gets hit by a couple of cyclones out of the Bay of Bengal every year.

There was an item years ago in the National Lampoon, where the government of Bangladesh had elected to sell the whole place off to Disney, to be turned into a theme park to be called Disasterland; cruel and crass for sure, but accurate.

How a nation so plagued by poverty and run on a basis of idiotic central planning could be bothered by such a piece of flummery as a UN day to quit the evil weed pretty well sums up the UN.

Personally I have lit up not one but two Monte Cristo coronas to mark the day- the only decent product of a hideous Marxist regime, and whether or not they are in fact rolled on a dusky Cuban maiden’s thigh apeals to my basic depravity; more to the point that revenue from the buggers usually go to smugglers than old Beardy Boy is more appealing.

The taste of a good Cuban cigar is like Angels pissing on your tongue.

A pox on all you intrusive sawbones and social engineers.

Reader Scott has alerted me to a valiant effort by defenders of freedom and liberty to help out victim of evil Amerikkkan hegemony David Hicks, care of this site.

His own missive is deeply concerned and caring:-

You gotta be kidding..This little taliban turd didn’t give a shit about a “Fair Go” for the millions of women and children his mates the Taliban persecuted and executed in the name of that fucked up ideal Sharia Law!!!
I’ve seen what sort of a fair go The Taliban meted out to women who wouldn’t wear a Burka or accidently exposed a portion of their ankles, or who were caught wearing makeup or heaven forbid, STUDYING!!! So don’t give me this bullshit about poor little David Hicks being persecuted or illegally detained because as far as I’m concerned, his detainment isn’t half as bad as his vile ideals inflicted on others. I hope some muslim bubba fucks him up the arse with a cactus for all the butchering he and his comrades have done to others. He didn’t fight for any glorious cause, he did it to persecute others and nothing else. If it’s a woman reading this, go and spend some time in Saudi or Afghanistan, maybe even Iran or Syria, and see just how pleasant Sharia Law is for woman and then tell me the little Taliban tosspot deserves better treatment.
Fair Go my arse. I say if the US want to hang him, just send me the bill for the rope..

A little mild, but you wouldn’t want to upset the delicate luvvies who run this campaign to free a sociopath who hates everything they stand for.

Do your bit, and slip Dave some support here: fairgofordavid@internode.on.net

Elsewhere, the increasingly demented Moreland council in Victoria is now a self-appointed foreign affairs practitioner, with a platform being given to the deranged father of David Hicks, Terry, and the delusional spouse of Mamdour Habib, Maha (hahaha) to spout their lame gibberish.

The speculative sprays from these two loons have managed to pick up the highly influential support of the tinfoil-hat branch of the third estate.

(Do these pillocks really think that if there really was a vast right-wing/Jewish/Masons/Shriners conspiracy to rule the world, they wouldn’t have been among the first to be fed into an industrial shredder?)

***UPDATE***The supposedly AWOL Margo Kingston has weighed in to the Hicks/Habib debate, invoking the dread spectre of the long deceased Ming to rattle around John Howard’s bed-chamber, fluttering his ample ectoplasmic eyebrows and babble to the PM about how the needle has fallen off the nation’s moral compass.

To see the Margoyle invoking the name of Menzies (and to a lesser extent John Valder) to promote her increasingly deranged mutterings is a bit of a giggle; if there had have been Islamic extremists scampering around in Pig-Iron Bob’s day the army would have been deployed, and national service re-introduced; this is the bloke who wanted to lock up a few feeble-minded alcoholics for extolling the joys of centralised economic planning to any of the equally feeble-minded barflies bouncing off the walls of a couple of grotty pubs near the waterfront.

I’ve heard of monomania, but what about the concept of margomania- the blind following of a cause or idea in the complete absence of reason, evidence, logic or contact with reality?

Telstra- the worst communication service provider in the world, or is there one in Uzbekistan that’s more pathetic?

After announcing that the corporation is going to hose subscribers with hikes in fees for services whose costs are falling, the bastards took out my landline on Friday and left me high and dry all weekend- funnily enough just after I opted to take on a cable DSL server that wasn’t Telstra.

Not that I’m paranoid of course; it’s not as if the same shit has happened to other people.

A memorial has been unveiled today in Canberra to commemorate the forced education of part-Aboriginal children under assimilation policies in the past.

The horrors forced on these unfortunate urchins include literacy, numeracy, hygiene and basic social skills, as opposed to being allowed to roam the streets at will indulging in petty crime, violence and substance abuse.

At the unveiling stood-down ATSIC commissioner Ray Robinson announced that a High Court challenge will be made by the cash-strapped organisation to fight its dismantling; ATSIC’s fine record of helping Aboriginal youth stands in sharp contrast to the survivors of previous policies, many of whom own property and are gainfully employed.

How can a culture of victimhood survive when self-improvement and reward for effort is encouraged?

The brief spike in literacy and numeracy in NSW yesterday brought on by a 24 hour teacher’s strike is set to continue, with Catholic teachers striking today and public school teachers to follow up next Wednesday.

The union representing these educators has demanded a 25% pay increase- can they show an example of a 25% increase in productivity?

Seeing as most of their students would be unable to calculate 25% of anything, this appears to be an ambit claim; no doubt the indoctrination of feeble young minds with the evils of global capitalism and the Amerikkkan war machine, the Rousseau-like deification of primitive superstition, the promotion of bad science and worse conservation ideas and the claiming of rights without facing responsibilities will stand graduates in good stead when they apply for employment at the ABC, but elswhere the ability to read, write and perform basic arithmetic is held in higher regard.

Sack the lot of them, and sell off the sites for development; let’s face it, television does a better job of educating the young now than most of these tweedy dweebs and hairy-legged boilersuit models.

Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry has now managed to give the left of his own party (and home state) the shits with his dithering over the date he will accept the nomination.

Even veteran dingbat Ted Kennedy is muttering darkly about Kerry, but this may be due to a refusual by the Senator to drive Ted home when he was pissed- there was believed to have been a traversal of a bridge involved.

US scientists are on the brink of being able to perform a complete facial transplant- pretty good news if you look like any of these three blokes.

Knowing my luck, the time I drunkely lurch face-first into the office shredder will coincide with a dreadful waist-down fatal accident involving Margo Kingston.

Has the Sydney Opera House got an opening for a phantom?

A HIV positive African homosexual asylum seeker (sounds like an all ’round winner in the oppressed minority stakes) has been convicted in Britain for intentionally infecting three women with HIV, and sentenced to ten years in prison, with deportation to follow.

This odious piece of shit was smuggled into the UK by a bender from the Foreign Office, who coached him in the correct answers to give immigration officials.

The FO flack should be charged as an accessory; what has me buggered is how some flaming radish managed to get women (including a 15 year old girl) to shag him- could it be they fell for his sad story of persecution?

With a bit of luck some of the ‘ard cases and nutters in the ‘Scrubs will show the sod what persecution is all about.

On a semi-related matter, a pack of luvvies in Britain have launched an action against British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw over his failure to protect the Bakhtiari Bros from the horrors of Australian internment camps.

I would have thought they’d be too busy weeping, wailing and gnashing their teeth over Tracey Emin’s latest performance instillation involving kero.

***UPDATE***Good to see where not the only place in the world with too many lawyers with too much time on their hands, and a judiciary populated by maoists.

If you want them, they’re all yours.
