The Washup Grogfest
Dedicated readers would be aware that I have resisted the urge to outline my feelings about the Federal Election and its consequential outcome. Partly this is due to the fact that I promised my ever-loving and suffering better half to restrict my swearing on my blog, but it is also due to the fact that I am finding it difficult to comprehend a few of the electorates’ decisions.
How on earth do you dump a good member and minister like Mal Brough in favour of some pathetic grey aparatchic? What good does it do you to change from an incredibly hard working local member like Theresa Gambaro to some piece of semi-literate fluff?
So, dear readers, you can obviously understand my dillemma? How do you put these reactions in to words? How can I properly explain the inexplicable? To truly delve in to the entrails of the election you require beer and lots of it.
Consequently, all Brisbane Bloggers are cordially invited to the Breakfast Creek Hotel on Thursday night in the back bar commonly referred to as the Staghorn bar. Previous details can be found here
Lefty scum are more than welcome to come along and skite, jape and carry on like the fools they are. Feel free to explain why the only way that the ALP could get elected is to run a leader who is possibly as conservative as John Howard and really should be in the Liberal Party.
In the mean time, those of us on the conservative side can try to come up with reasons why we have elected a Labor party member as the leader of the Parliamentary party. I thought we had more self respect than that.
Kick off from about 6 and we have a special guest star arriving in the form of MarkL, the frequent instigator of arguments on Blair’s site.
