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:
After the latest amazing revelation in Tony Abbott's paternity saga I've heard and read quite a bit of nasty invective against him. One thing I keep hearing in interviews with members of the twisted sisterhood (including the creepy Leslie Cannold and Wankley Award-winning hackette Jenny Brockie) is the idea that Abbott is an "absolutist" and "life is messy".
That's one of the fluffy wuffies' favourite phrases, that: "Life is messy. You shouldn't judge. Be more tolerant." Etc ... ad nauseam.
Pro-life people know this. And their reaction to the "messiness" that life throws up is to refuse to compound it further with an undeniable wrong. Which is why Abbott and his partner at the time opted for what they thought was the moral, compassionate and principled action. And that took a lot of soul-searching and courage.
The twisted sister, however, just shrugs and says, "Oh, sod it. It's all too difficult. Just suck the little bastard out and throw it away!"
And that's the reason these half-people loathe Tony Abbott more than anything: He actually believes in something. And he stands by that belief. He has acted with remarkable consistency and compassion right from the get-go on this.
But the "pro-choice" zealots? They don't believe in anything much - least of all "choice". They certainly don't believe in the inherent value of human life. When all's said and done, what's at the core of their agenda?
Killing. For convenience.
They demand that the killing of human foetuses be legal, available, acceptable and claimable. (Oh, and that debate on the matter be outlawed.)
As they continue with their mean-sprited campaign against him, Tony Abbott looks more and more like a total champ.
