Blogsso much for the "we" .....In the age of Twitter, a 700-page book about wealth distribution is an odd pathway to celebrity.
"and I'd like to thank my sponsors for helping me get where I am today..."
the nanny underpants is also giving the brew a bad tax smell...
all in the family ....from Politicoz ….. ICAC explodes on NSW Liberals …..
hockzilla ....from Crikey …. It's hard to recall a pre-budget process in which a government's messages have been more confused than this one.
octane, alcohol, petrol, toluene plus the smell of oil rags and of doing donuts...NSW'S E10 unleaded fuel mandate is a ''debacle'' and is costing the state's motorists millions, according to an international study. The Texas Tech University research found motorists had a ''significant aversion'' to the ethanol blended product. With the push for E10 reducing the availability of regular grade unleaded, motorists had instead flocked to the more expensive premium petrol because of concerns about E10's potential engine damage as well as fuel efficiency.
to arms .....from john passant ….. Ruling classes around the world have their national myths. These attempt to tie working people to the capitalist class through the false idea of nationhood – a recent historical development.
homeless, hungry, cold and forgotten... plus a traumatic brain injury in the past...
A new study of homeless men found that 45% of the subjects surveyed had experienced traumatic brain injuries in the past. Brain injuries can cause both cognitive and personality problems that researchers don't yet fully understand
Captain America Movie Review- The Dark Side of Corporatised DefenceAn American defense system corrupted from within by an organisation planning to use cyberdata tracking for the purpose of eliminating 20 million people, thus bringing order to seven billion. No, it's not the beginning of a new Michael Moore book- it's the plot for Marvel's dark new offering, "Captain America- The Winter Soldier".
'An Open Letter to Mr Abbott':The prime minister's sycophancy towards the British monarch’s grand-descendants has become too much for the many Australians. On behalf of millions, the ARM national director has written Tony Abbott an open letter. History editor Dr Glenn Davies reports.
life has no meaning, but we can choose our purpose...Whatever we do has no bearing on the status of the universe. Whatever we do has only an influence on the localised activity and reactivity of life on earth.
not as efficient as carbon pricing... actually not efficient at all — but much costlier...
From the subject of prime ministerial launches promising solutions for the moral challenge of a generation, to a lonely minister holding an afternoon press conference in the shadow of the nation’s most revered public holiday: climate change policy has fallen so far in Australia’s political life that the government gives a good impression of hoping we ignore it. In this case, the low-key treatment probably makes sense.
the age of entitlement .....
nuts to you too .....The Guardian has judged him as ‘’politically incorrect to the point of dementia’’
At the going down of the sun, Anzac Eve at St Clair War Memorial ParkLast year, on land set aside by a caring family who'd lost a loved one in World War Two, the RSL conducted (first time since the 1960s) an official remembrance ceremony. A few hundred turned up, many I talked to who'd come all those years ago and had returned to show that this was still their place for those memories. I came to this site via the kindness of Margo Kingston, who saw me flailing about the cyberverse about Halliburton in Adelaide and offered me a spot here. My first blog became the only Australian blog linked from the pages of HalliburtonWatch. My jokes about St Clair being a HAL-based project came true when KBR finally published their work on the gig as an ad on their website. If what happened last year occurs again today, as I'm sure it will, then maybe the work of a War Company that's morphed into real estate is going to backfire because of their violation of a decades-long war tradition.
