Oh My God, I just realised we elected a 12 year old Girl as PRIME MINISTER!!!!
February 10th, 2009 by rebellion
It obvious -
He is INCREDIBLY Flighty.
He is desparate to be liked by the cool kids in School
Has a mad crush on the new kid and can’t believe he hasn’t called
Big into overt displays that really mean absolutely nothing
Loves a good temper tantrum when he doesn’t get his own way and his favorite thing is to call the other kids mean names
Spends money like its going out of fashion.
Has no concept what it means when you spend money like its going out of fashion.
Bloody hell!! Its true. We have a 12 year old girl for a Prime Minister. We are screwed unless daddy cuts the credit card up in a hurry.
Well it turns out I am a Right Wing Libertarian, Who would have thought???

Can we all just agree that your average actor is a bloody idiot.

ACTOR Val Kilmer is pondering running for governor of New Mexico in 2010, when Democrat Bill Richardson’s second term ends.
So the corrupt Democrat Richardson, my get replaced by a person who plays make believe for a living. Yes, in the case of the Governator it has been a rousing success. Likewise, Carmel County had Clint as Mayor for a period. But these are the exception rather than the rule as they are conservatives and therefore not retarded before they get the job.
The closest we get to this sort of thing is when the ALP scrapes the barrell for 7.30 report members. Bloody hell, it is seriously disturbing how “Our” ABC is in reality the A(LP)BC. Though of course, it is funny watching the ABC retards collapse in a heap when confronted by actual day to day challenges.

This story in the Commie Mail prompted me to take another look at my stab at predicting the winners and losers in the State Elelction this year. And frankly, it is something to take my mind off the fact that Australia has lost its fifth one-dayer in a row AT HOME!!!!
So lets take another swing at this thing. I doubt that all that much will change, but you just never know.
2006 ELECTORAL MARGINS – NEW BOUNDARIES

Inala 26.0 ALP Keep though reduced margin
Bundamba 25.2 ALP Keep though reduced margin
Ipswich 21.4 ALP Keep
Logan 21.1 ALP Keep
Rockhampton 19.8 Watch this space, could be a changer. I give it a 50:50 chance of being a surprise during the night
South Brisbane 18.4 ALP Keep
Nudgee 18.2 Interesting one, we will see whether the benefit of having a Billionaire Dad can change this to the LNP column. I give it a 40:60% chance of changing hands
Algester 17.8 ALP Keep
Mackay 17.3 ALP Keep though reduced margin
Thuringowa 16.8 Very Interesting due to residual backlash from Council decision Watch it for the outcome
Lytton 16.3 Rusted on ALP

Kallangur 11.0 Residual Council amalgamation anger may tip this to the LNP seat.

I agree 100% with Mrs Bligh
February 2nd, 2009 by rebellion
It really is completely unreasonable for anyone to believe that a person or organisation that provides a significant contribution to a political party wouldn’t feel they had the right to call the shots. An entity that provided the lion’s share of the party’s fundraising would likely take the view that they could influence the preselection of candidates and the general policy position of the party in question.
Likewise, it would be entirely expected that they would be able to shoehorn in their mates and family members to safe seats within the state, likewise, see the Queensland Parliament as a right by birth to their own ego’s fulfillment.
I agree with Mrs Bligh 100% in this case and so feel that she should immediately divorce the ALP from any and all future contact with the union movement that represents much less than 1/5th of the workforce in the State. this insidious organisation has only their own benefit as a primary motivation and thus cannot be considered to hold the best interests of the State to heart.
Additional to this is of course the immediate dissendorsement of any and all ex-union hacks who are current MP’s or endorsed candidates.
If she doesn’t want to be seen as being two-faced or holding a double standard, then this is the obvious course of action for her. I await with pleasure her putting this plan in to place in the very near future.

So Australia have amassed the might of 5 for 55 in a one dayer against New Zealand. NEW ZEALAND for godsake!! Where is the once mighty team that all the world feared? What the hell happened? I can’t watch anymore. I think I need to go and do some serious drinking sorry thinking
