2005 Archives You'll see in the archives section above that 2005 is missing. That's some glitch that will hopefully rectify itself eventually. But in the meantime if you want to find my posts from this period they are below:
Being a tightwad and a cheapskate (and also particularly greedy) I'm constantly on the lookout for ways to get web traffic for free. Signing up to a traffic exchange is one of the better ones. Here are some you might want to join:
Just chanced upon a gangsta-themed search engine. Don't know how long it's going to remain up there. I suspect its owners may encounter some legal problems before too long due to its similarity to a fairly well known organization.
Still, it's pretty funny. Type some terms into the search box, or put some text into the "textaliser" and you'll see what I mean.
"However, from that seed strange growths appeared in the script; at one of the many narrative junctures I was taken aback at the addition of a scene requiring me to expose my penis to the young Queen Elizabeth."
People will draw their own conclusions, mostly about Crowe's psychological state - or perhaps his anatomy. But being a RWDB I cannot help but see a political dimension.
The inclusion of such a scene is clear confirmation of meddling by members of ARM. They still haven't gotten over their loss of several years ago and want to spread the republican message any bloody way they can! Look hard enough, and I bet you'll find that one of the ARM jokers had a hand in rewrites.
Who do you reckon it was? Delahunty, Vizard?
Bloody fluffs. You've got to keep an eye out for them. They're everywhere, I tell you!
Just had a squizz at my referral stats and saw that this site was the number one result on Google!
(Okay, it was for "deranged kid on a tricycle". But still, it's a start. There must be another ... er, two or three more people doing that search worldwide.)
Update: I'm now at number two. Well, it was fun while it lasted ...
Being a fully paid-up card-carrying member of the RWDB club, I feel almost duty bound to rail at whatever David Marr says. But to be honest, I think his analysis is spot on in his latest article for the Feral.
It's about the silly kerfuffle over homophobic on-air comments by John Laws and Steve Price. Referring to the NSW Administrative Decisions Tribunal's demand that both publicly eat crow on the matter Marr writes:
But how could poofters welcome such "limits on what can be said" while still claiming the right to their own free, vigorous and at times insulting speech - not least in the big parade in a fortnight's time?
Good point. But sadly, many gay Stalinists have no problem with this double standard. They retain the juvenile attitude that they deserve special protection.
Below I posted about a deranged quackademic called Ward Churchill ("Too left for the left?"). Seems he's in the news again. See, he's been made a high priest by those nutjob cultists the Raelians.
Sheesh. I bet they're going to try to clone him.
(Imagine if they succeed. Scary. It'd be kind of like The Boys from Brazil - but with fruit bats.)
Robin Cummins, chief examiner at the Pomgolian Driving Standards Agency, has bravely declared that he believes men are better drivers than women.
It's a dead cert that British feminists will make this guy their number one enemy. He should be careful crossing the road, lest some crazed harpy tries to flatten him under the wheels of her Morris Minor. (Although, if his theory holds, she'll probably miss and go straight into the nearest telegraph pole...)
Many people are wondering how the hell an obviously insane woman could slip through the welfare safety net and end up in an Australian detention centre. But for me the more pressing question is how a clearly deranged man can become a bloody senator!
American universities have long been breeding grounds for leftist dogmatism. Grizzled radicals have more or less gotten away with intellectual murder for decades.
But, incredible as it may seem, there is one who might have just gone too far with his anti-American rhetoric.
He's a dodgy fellow called Ward Churchill, who claimed that the September 11 hijackers didn't go far enough, and likened their victims to Nazis. These and other comments have led to the uni's board of regents considering giving the old loon the heave-ho.
The above-linked article on him is fascinating. It contains this lovely description of the behaviour of his adoring students, who were very keen to have "their voices heard" on the matter:
Thursday, dozens of them protested at the board of regents meeting, eventually shutting it down with their shouting.
So, they want his position secured on "freedom of speech" grounds. And to make this point they shout everyone down.
