I saw this headline today and thought YAY, Finally people have starte to see through the whole Glowball Warming Bullshit
No, the black dog of disappointment descended, it was just some bunch of luddites living in a cave in Russia, waiting for the world to end in May.
Bugger
I know, I know, complete news to me too. You go through life thinking that you are just a mysoginistic as the next bloke and suddenly you realise that you are a feminist.
FORGET burning bras – today’s young self-styled feminists prefer to show their girl power in a skimpy swimsuit.
Kudos to you Sister!! Stand up for your rights in a two piece! Skimpier the Better I say. In fact, lose the top for more impact on the fallocentric bastard MEN.
I was going to try to remain impartial in writing this post but the stream of obscenities obstructing my mind couldn’t be held back.
If Shit-flinging Monkey Boy Mugabe were to win this upcoming election, I will never again care what happens to the people of Zimbabwe. It is entirely on their heads. I will never watch another cricket match which has Zimbabwe represented. I will never read another article. I simply do not care what happens to them. In fact I would prefer to build a wall around the country and give them all better guns. Then when we come back in a couple of years, it might be a worthwhile country to visit.
No doubt there will be those that object to my isolationist viewpoint. I say to them that Cuba is a shining light of what happens when you repeatedly elect an insane dictator and they should enjoy the prosperity it has bought them.
Zimbabwe is a country that should be amongst the richest in Africa, but they only have themselves to blame for repeatedly electing Mugabe. Were the entire country to come to its senses tomorrow and turf this pointless marxist out on his ear, it would restore the faith of rational thinking people everywhere.
I realise of course, that Mugabe, like all little dickless dictators, will cling to power in any way possible. He will attempt to rig the election, he will assault the usual people going about their usual democratic rights and obligations. He will send his thugs out to obstruct, harass, intimidate and rort. I say to the people of Zimbabwe, that they still have the power to overthrow this corrupt marxist little dictator.
It is up to them, entirely. I may be only one man. I may have no power whatsoever to change anything except my perceptions. But I can and do see the same thinking in many others. I see the need to see that the people of Zimbabwe are worthwhile. That they don’t deserve the depradations heaped upon them. I am not, nor will I ever be that person who believes that people are incapable of looking after themselves. If the people of Zimababwe decide that they do want to live with the bootheel of mugabe on their necks, then so be it. That is their choice. My choice is to not ever again lift a finger to assist them in any way whatsoever.
I have just added the Tizona weblog. Not only did they laugh and enjoy a comment that I made on Blair’s site regarding the importance of Energy Wasting Day, thus proving beyond doubt their noble and significant understanding of reality, but also they have an amazingly cool youtube up of Mr Thelonious Monk. For thoae of you unaware of the artform, there is only one worthwhile black expression music form. It aint Rap baby. Go there right this instant and experience it for yourself.
We need to publicise this and together, we can really make a difference

So my bloke lost his election. Main reason was that we were beaten by a better political operative and you have to give him the credit for the win. Doesn’t mean that I am not seething inside, but it is tinged slightly by a certain degree of respect. Respect for a man with more front than Myers. But it sounds like sour grapes to criticise, so I will merely say that he may have won this one, but four years is not that long a time in politics. Barely a blink really. And lots and lots of things can happen between now and then.
My son and heir got his head wet over the weekend as well, so you can imagine that I didn’t have a lot of time for personal reflection. My best mate from Sydney flew up to be the Godfather, replete with bad American Gangster accent and dark pinstriped suit. Its just a shame that he didn’t go the whole hog and include a violin case and fedora to really set the scene.
The reason for the title of the post is that your humble correspondant has passed another year with the sun on his face. Birthdays are often times a good time for reflection of your past, present and future. You get to do a mental checklist of achievements and losses and as long as your personal balance sheet is in the Black, you are heading in the right direction. So, in that spirit, I looked back over the last year of my life.
Mrs Rebellion and I celebrated the first birthday of the Future First Female Prime Minister which has to be a plus, she also started walking, has started talking (possibly a negative), and generally is the cutest thing ever to grace the good Lord’s good Earth.
Celebrated three years married to my long and ever suffering Mrs Rebellion. See, honey, and they said you would have killed me by now. Another major plus, even if I don’t eat mushrooms anymore.
We moved in to a new house in an outer suburb, close to the bay and with more room and very little to do to it. After spending at least two years renovating the previous place, this I can tell you, is a MAJOR plus.
I have gotten a new job that I quite enjoy, flogging sea and airfreight to unsuspecting importers and exporters. I get the bonus of being paid to rip people off on a daily basis. Anybody who has ever been a freight rep will understand that this is the most fun you can have with your pants on, or other people’s pants on, depending on what you are into.
Along came the Son and heir. Great thumper of a beast of a bloke who chuckles at the slightest thing. He’s already facinated by his big sister, who has fun hiding his dummy and seeing how high she can bounce him while he is in his bouncer. Always fun to watch. Can I also just throw a shout out to the Sesame Street Corporation. Along with every other parent Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your wide range of Elmo DVD’s. They have saved the sanity of us all, even if it is just for an hour or so that they run.
So pretty much a big tick on the plus column for the year.
On the down side, we lost my Nanna recently. She had hit 98 but had lost her wits about 5 years ago and was living in a home. Shame, for she was the sharpest tack in the board for most of her life. As hard as it was to cope with her loss, we have to say that it was for the best. I guess you could call this one neither a plus or a minus.
Mum has beena bit crook with a few bouts of cancer. Seem to have cleared up after the surgery, but it is strictly a watch and wait situation.
All in all, I would have to say that this has been a pretty bloody good year all round. Far more good than bad. Far more fun than disappointment and far more upsides than downsides.
Now if we could just get rid of the corrupt ALP governments at State and Federal levels, the whole world could have as good a year as me.
From the March 12 Late Show with David Letterman, the “Top Ten Surprises During Eliot Spitzer’s Resignation.” Late Show home page: www.cbs.com
10. Entered to the sounds of Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin’”
9. Opening line: “Are you a cop?”
8. Spent two minutes seductively stroking the microphone
7. Reaffirmed his policy of “Bro’s before Ho’s”
6. His decision not to wear pants
5. Admitted he also once made out with former Governor Pataki
4. Credited downfall to fast-paced lifestyle of Albany
3. He was kinda pitchy, dawg
2. Said he thought the Emperor’s Club was a Chinese restaurant
1. When reporters asked how much he paid per hour, his wife said, “Believe me, he doesn’t need an hour”
With two sleeps to go, the excitement is really hotting up. In fact I almost saw an entire column inch concerning the election in the Courier Mail. While I realise that the only game in town for the CM is Brisbane and whether Campbell Newman will get a working majority, there is more at stake than that. Brisbane is pretty much a done deal. Campbell is back in and the only surprise left is how many Libs get up for him in the wards.
It does concern me that there has been so little concerning the Moreton Bay Regional Council in the Mail. After all, we are only talking about the third largest municipality in the Country. Not really much at stake, just the fortunes and lives of close to 400,000 punters.
But despite the dearth of coverage by the Mail, I am more disappointed by the Quest Community Newspapers. These rags derive their entire reason for being from the local Council areas that they supposedly cover. We are on Thursday before the biggest shakeup in the State’s history in terms of local government, and we’re lucky to get three pages of coverage. And that includes candidate ads.
The fourth estate can rightly be said to have dropped the ball on this one. I know, I know, they are only playing to their audience and will only cover what their readers want to read. I can both understand this and despise it. They have a responsibility to their readers to keep them informed. It is a two way street. We will accept their invasions of privacy, their holier than thou attitudes and their lack of class and general hygiene, but only if they are seen to be doing their jobs.
The classic example is a candidate in Division 9 who has, two days out from the campaign, lied to the constituency about an endorsement from a retiring well respected Councillor. This retiring well respected councillor is not merely endorsing a different candidate, but is also delivering letterbox drops for him. Names will remain nameless to avoid legal issues by the obviously guilty and unfit for elction candidate. The only hint I will give you is that he is a “Local Bloke” that doesn’t actually live in the new Division.
I will leave it up to the Division to make their choice, who knows, they may prefer to be lied to and treated with contempt by someone who knows that were he not in Council already, he would be lucky to score a job flipping burgers.
