HAMMER HORROR FILMS PRESENTS: THE CABINET OF THE DREGS!

Gee, all those people seem so nice. I’m sure they’re all as great as Crean, Ferguson, Bowen, McClelland, Carr, Rudd…

(I think I may have referred to be B team earlier I was too complimentary, we’ve got the F team)

Gary Gray is sitting pretty to become head of the party after joolya departs, whenever that may be, and thank the gods he’s taking over small and very small business.

The body politik promotes albo (a known plotter) to the regions. This strikes me as funny but don’t know why.

Oh Albo….

“No really, it was just a therapeutic massage. Truly!!”

What do Pervez Musharraf and Julia have in common?
They both have suicide squads going after them.

Who’ll be the first to go?

So now the dust and shrapnel have settled when will McClelland pull the pin and deny Gillard another vote since there won’t be a by election in his seat.

O’Farrell will personally deliver the employment contract and a bottle of champagne I’m sure.

Barry O’Farrell remains popular in NSW and once again we see less than a quarter of the electorate is ‘rusted on’ to the union party.

‘The Nielsen poll reveals only 23 per cent of those surveyed would give NSW Labor their primary vote – a result that will compound fears about the party’s prospects at the federal election on September 14.’

‘Labor’s primary vote has slumped five points to a disastrous 30 per cent’ according to Newspoll.

If Miglo suggests that Dirk “is no intellectual heavyweight” he’s found the site that is tailor made to that expectation. Anything that is moderately intelligent (and polite) is banned by Miglo. The huge range of sock puppets there is a testament to his tireless efforts in sock puppetry though.

Meanwhile, Leigh Sales is copping it!!

Though I’ve not seen anyone else suggest that she’s a misogynist, which surprises me.

Leigh asked Gillard some questions, and when Gillard tried to evade them, Leigh asked the question again, in a slightly different way. Apparently it is disrespectful and outrageous to ask questions of “Our” Prime Minister in this way.

Leigh should know better than to ask questions in a way that will offend participants at CW and TPS.
—————–
However, I note that the latest poll has the ALP languishing! Clearly this can have nothing to do with Gillard who has done a sterling job in the past week.

• Media laws retreat
• NBN behind schedule, with low take up rates
• Lack of confidence from her most experienced ministers
• 40% of her own party want someone else

Gillard has a great opportunity to do something, but she has no idea what.

All is very simple in hindsight but given her training in the Socialist Forum we should not be at all surprised to have a lying grub for a PM. Only Lee Rhiannon could give her a run for her money.

Does anyone out there think that John Howard would have won his first election if he’d been exposed as a former member of the Young Fascists or something like that. ?

‘How does an ex Federal Government Attorney General miss out on a lowly Judges position. ?’

Anything tainted Labor is unemployable. Frank Sartor couldn’t even get the job as Council Manager on the Central Coast.

Funny how things turn out.

Somehow this comment from Catching up says it all…

”We do nort act stupid.”

“If Miglo suggests that Dirk “is no intellectual heavyweight” he’s found the site that is tailor made to that expectation.”

LOL

I especially enjoyed the comment from Catching Up that Grub Gillard probably had planned her Cabinet reshuffle some weeks ago.

Clearly she’s never heard the saying that it is better to say nothing than to offer up something that is just profoundly stupid

Nah

They have already appointed someone Sancty

This far out we could speculate on the political landscape after the election… poll driven.

The comedy continues

Catching Up is still referring to the European Common market

Hilarious

Just had a look over at TPS

Seems like the informed opinion today is that after her daring to put the PM under the blow torch last night that “Leigh Sales is a traitorious slut” and the collection of statistics via opinion polls is not a science at all.

Good can we now abolish the ABC and ABS ?

I love one of their reasons for dismissing of polling is because its too expensive to call mobiles so pollsters only call landlines therefore skewering polls away from the opinions of the young.

If they actually took the time to read the way the polling is conducted age is also taken into account in the final numbers making up the poll.

I’ve been called a few times myself (not only for political polling) and almost the first question asked is your age. If it’s not what they want they ask if there is anyone within a certain age range in the household and if not they thankyou and hang up.

The Rusted on Left are a bunch of f***in idiots.

The PM is either delusional or has something up her sleeve.

”The mining sector nowadays pays more to the state and federal coffers than ever before and that’s a good thing,” said Gary Gray.

Which means no renegotiation on the mining tax.

Apparently she’s even fallen further than PK in 1992, after the ‘recession we had to have’.
The reason Labor voters are deserting in droves is the tax on energy …. which has made their life a struggle.

‘It shouldn’t need to be pointed out that the vast majority of those you’re haranguing are rusted on ALP supporters…not fucking rusted on leftists !!!’

Not sure its that simple. The ‘love in’ with the Greens has changed the party forever, its been infiltrated with green thinking.

The leftist workers could see this and were not particularly offended, until the PM came out as a watermelon and made them pay for folly.

This is best demonstrated in NSW where the workers have punished the ALP and remain happy with O’Farrell. Its federal Labor’s future, an insignificant rump, destined to form a casual coalition with the party which rooned us.

‘So what about people like me (and … if I may, toillette and sreb)….’

And me. I was rusted on a few years ago, but now I’m a free thinker.

‘yeah, egg, I’ve noticed …’

Good.

That didn’t even make sense, the way I wrote it. What I’m trying to say Is why don’t certain defenders of the left here actually spell out what it is to be a leftist in the 21st century, and why anyone would want to call themselves a leftist given the left’s miserable history and atrocious pedigree.

730 – ” Why are the Tea_Guzzlers so consumed with their eviction from the coffee-shops anyway, don`t they realize they`re in the wrong market.?

730 is so f**king dumb, he constantly refers to reb as a teabag or a tea guzzler, then makes an abject apology. F**KWIT!

An upmarket Catching Up.

Laugh, I almost shat, OUTLANDER’S indepth analysis of last night
…..What we’ve lacked is a sense of unity and now that is resolved…Yeh…I think that industry has got a more secure long-term future….Is that right?…We’ve got an amazing track record…I’ll say…Well, the last fortnight has been the last fortnight….Pollie speak for I’m fucked…. it’s done, it’s dusted….I don’t think that any of this is worth speaking about anymore…Well that’s not gonna happen…we had the week that was…I’m even more fucked than I thought…renew the team with quality and talent(spoilt for choice of chumps)…Spare me…. I am the only leader with the capacity to guide our nation through in what can be a very rough and tumble world……Tony, if your listening, keep your mouth shut and wait.

Gee Tom, you seem to be losing your cool. And that’s completely understandable, given your repeated (wrong)assertions over the years that ‘Gillard’s finished’ or ‘she’s gone’. Surely you must feel foolish that to date at least, you are batting zero. But then again, probably not. Bet you can relate to this.

http://weknowmemes.com/2012/01/premature-ejaculators-anonymous/

I think it’s marvelous that we have so many CW/AIMN sock puppets here!

They’re always welcome, though they’ll notice the difference in the intellectual demands, and the spelling.

7.30 you are weird and you speak funny.

Not surprised Grodo, that you are still hearing things. Even on soundless right wing blogs.

Calling this a rightwing blog is insulting to the numerous non-rightard contributors here…

Obviously Scaper is a great and equal match for the sock puppet.

Best you pop back to the shallow end. It’s for the grown ups here.

Tom, if only you could get a prediction correct. LOL. A marvellous record of failure over the years.. No wonder you’re keen on keeping your real identity away from your clients. Really you’re a scream

Anon, could you confirm if that’s “anonymous” like rebs gonna be hacked, or Anon like at another time.

The ‘truth’, regarding whether or not this is a rightwing blog, varies depending upon the point of reference of the individual.

What is not, is a pro-government blog. Those niches are already well filled with slaverers.

Not very difficult to recognise Anon’s syntax & specific targeting.

😯 😆

I only ask because you seem particularly obsessed by interested in them. ; ^ }

That’s interesting, 730 isn’t interested in ‘teabags’! He only uses the term about 3 times per sentence.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Oakeshott remained deeply unpopular last time I was in his part of the world.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
I was talking to a hack in NSW last week. He can’t see a way for the ALP to come near a win, thinks the ALP is so tarnished in NSW.

People outside NSW don’t get the same sense of ALP poison.

The Obeid scandal has rocked the NSW left to its vey foundations, but left wingers elsewhere seem unaware of this state of affairs.

The average punter is not stoopid and will leave the party out in the cold for a decade at least.

“….One bloke who I always liked, even if I didn’t agree with him, was Doug Cameron. Today I find he’s up before the ICAC and has been accused of giving protection to Ian McDonald along with Albanese, ……….”

And there we have Federal Labor linked to State Labor’s corruption. Coruption which has cost the people of this State over $100M so far uncovered.

September will be a bloodbath for the ALP in NSW

And this is incredibly damaging for Albasleaze who holds an inner City seat (not by much margin) which could go to the Greens.

Could we get a Countdown Clock for the election ?

Left, Right, Teabag, Scumbag,our so called leaders are so far in the centre sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference. Yes, they have branding, it’s all popularist, poll driven, focus group, I’d like to give them an internal poll up the bottom. Instead of the text message in the morning they get to set a monotonal daily news bite, it would be so refreshing if they said what they think, or better still represent their electets thoughts, not this Bill Shorten…….I think what she thinks.

Former CFMEU boss John Maitland was to do well out of all the corruption savvy investment, turning $160k into a potential $15,000,000 return.

It’s the get rich at via ALP connections that will cost the ALP plenty of seats in NSW, and Federal politicians obviously aren’t immune from the disease. There are a few members of the Senate, beyond Doug Cameron who might be nervous.

I’d imagine there will be plenty more to come out in the lead up to September. Which seats will replace the NSW losses?

Will the ICAC hearing coincide with the election campaign? That would be very funny.

But given the demoralised state of NSW, where will the extra seats come from? Victoria seems to have settled for the Liberals following their leadership change.

I understand the LibNats aren’t popular in Qld, but given the deep disaffection towards the ALP will they pick up seats (enough to offset NSW)?

Some tip a repetition of the current parliament, I can’t see how this will happen.

Meanwhile over at TPS low life Jason disagrees with someone called Austin 3:16 and then compares them to a pedophile whilst Bacchus says he wont engage with Austin 3:16 because he’s too rude for Bacchus.

This is the same Jason that last year said he didnt much care how many asylum seekers drowned on their way to Australia.

A real charming piece of work who is seemingly a perfect fit for the ALP machine. He symbolises exactly what is wrong with the ALP.

He should have been born into the Stalinist USSR. With attitudes like his he would have excelled as a violent and brutal commissar.

Like I said what a low life filthy piece of so called humanity

‘Get it to reach a point where it’s so common that good people don’t even fkn bother anymore.’

That’s how it is in NSW, with the rank and file changing sides. Its unlikely they’ll be returning anytime soon … this surely is a defining moment in political history.

Some of these have already been used by our current government …

“To anyone paying attention, reality is now painfully obvious. These bankrupt, insolvent governments have just about run out of fingers to plug the dikes. And history shows that, once this happens, governments fall back on a very limited playbook.”

Expect These Eight Steps From The Government’s Playbook

Strolling past the cafe I overheard Jane call Sales ‘nothing but a Liars & Murdoch shill.’

In their minds this is becoming a huge conspiracy and for years they’ll be telling their grandchildren how ‘we wuz robbed.’

On the flip side, they won’t object to Hockey taking his hatchet to the ABC newsroom.

Re Jason – just to unbury the AIMN hatchet again.

Jason launched a most obnoxious homophobic attack at AIMN. Later he told Miglo he hoped he hadn’t caused trouble.

Miglo said- reb had to get used to that sort of thing.

Incredible for a site like that to-
1. Allow the homophobic comment without rebuke in the first place
2. Have the blog owner specifically excuse (endorse?) it.

Remarkable.

If you’re not banned young James I expect you to go over there and say a few choice words….

There’s no point engaging with Miglo & co.

Catching Up posts 30 comments in a row, if you take issue with one, she’ll post 40 more in reply. If you have an exchange with her, Miglo will ban you, then he’ll post your personal details.

I wouldn’t bother with anything, other than continuing to point out what a dishonest pretence AIMN is.

“Reb, I’m removing your last sentence.”

That’s ok Migs… Beides I can’t quite remember what I wrote anyway…:)

MInd you, it hasn’t escaped my attention that when “Jason” called me “a bitch” you were quite happy to have that published on the blog for all to see.

It’s quite apparent that as far as your “moderation” goes you’re quite comfortable to let abusive comments remain published as long as they’re targeting what’s perceived to be “right wing commentators” while nasty and vile comments from the pro-Labor team are just allowed to be published unchecked.

The recent example of “Jason” calling me a “bitch” is a prime example.

If I had called CU a “bitch” you’ be issuing requests that I must retract it, but when the “bitch” remark is targeting someone who’s politics you’re not aligned with, you’re quite happy to let that remark go published in the public arena.

Just sayin’

Miglo
March 8, 2013

Valid point.

Yes, it was inappropriate for Jason to call you a bitch and he is aware of that. Jason knows he is to refrain from such language and I have accepted his commitment not to do so again.

And as a blog owner you’d know that it’s hard to have your eyes on the blog 24/7. While I was enjoying a documentary on UFOs ( 🙂 ) I missed all the drama here last night and hence was distracted from editing responsibilities. 😦

‘Will do…..where is it?’

On second thoughts, better not go there.

The original tête-à-tête was on the “Perception Becomes Reality” thread.

And you were quite “innocent” in that exchange reb? You threw out enough bait in that thread to keep Tasmanian fishing going for a year. Jason is quite volatile, and eventually snapped under the barrage coming from your direction. I don’t think he’s been back since being told off by Miglo…

Others can read it all for themselves – that’s the beauty of the Intertubes. They can also try to find evidence of what ToM is asserting – good luck with that 🙄

Yes, I am stating that Jason made a series of homophobic comments, ‘bitch’ was one.

Following this Jason said that he was concerned about being the cause of the trouble.

Miglo replied that reb had to get used to it.

That’s a real ‘left/progressive’ for you.

…and being ‘volatile’ is always an acceptable excuse for racism, sexism, homophobia and everything that goes with it…

You will recall that I agreed with you and had a go at you and CU on that thread too 😉

Outlander, I think ‘progressive/left’ types, who run blog sites, and behave as anything but ‘progressive/left’ deserve some recognition.

That photo is of a 40 year old, taken 40 years ago, so you may be right.

Easter is a great time on the Victorian coast. We have the best surfers here for Bells. Some even hang around some of my breaks during the comp.

For red, I’ll be taking a selection, including couple of 2005 Blackjack shiraz. Drinking that should be compulsory for grumpy people.

ToM is going surfing and I heard its going to be particularly challenging…. three meter swells.

Holidayed (?) at Southern Ocean Lodge a couple of times, they had big waves, made a lot of noise at night, a whale swam passed whilst I was having lunch.

How hilarious can they get at AIMN, opining that there’s a spot for a conservative author!!

They can’t even accommodate moderate alternative moderate views, politely expressed.

They can accommodate-
• Jason being homophobic
• Endless chants of “troll”, “ban him and HIM!
• Refusal to debate the point (conditions apply)
• Any number of provocative insults (as long as they are directed at non groupthinkers)
• Rhymes that would embarrass my 10 y=year old

Has a blog ever fallen so far from its stated objectives, so quickly?

Victoria’s Surf Coast is magnificent.

It is, the towns are pleasant, lush bush and plenty of surf breaks. It’s idea for my forms of leisure.

Though I suppose there could be a few more wineries around, the Bellarine Peninsular is just a little too far.

Just had a couple cones to calm myself down after the big windfall. There’s a really interesting documentary on Austar at the moment, it’s called Jackass.

ToM

If you bump into a Professor in Accounting riding a board at Bells send him Walrus’ regards. He owns a massive property ( big acreage) overlooking the strait there.

He’s a very good mate of mine tho not a red man. More a Coopers stalwart and Cats supporter.

Wait, wait. I know. It’s John Pilger isn’t it? Or could it be Robert Fisk? No? How about Hollywood celebrities (separately or as a group)?

On Richo tonight the head of Newspoll predicted the ALP would lose 40 seats in September. He made predictions in relation to the Qld and NSW polls and was out by a max 3 seats.

Oh how sweet its going to be.

You’re right about couch-surfing el gordo. There’s a huge swell on ours at the moment as well as some pretty nasty wind.

Ross Garnaut on Nightline just now offered a series of evidence-free and off-the-cuff pontifications on whatever scenario Tony Jones cared to imagine, all accepted by Jones without scepticism. Which is what one has come to expect from ABC operatives dealing with Rudd-Gillard appointed “experts”.

I’m watching that hard questioning on iq just now. It’s almost rehearsed but I’d be totally wrong to assume it actually is………of course

Has anyone asked Garnaut about Ok Tedi and how he reconciles that with his environmental policies?

Garnaut is a tosser, granted a sneaky tosser, fancy him quitting Lihir Gold in Victoria just about the time he encouraged a carbon tax in Aussie. He also recommended PNG should not have a carbon tax, just saying.

Yes, Walrus, Garnaut classified current super regulations as “unsustainable” or “overgenerous” or something. Fucking ivory-towered defined-benefitted government-granted reality-removed inflation-protected academia-isolated CUNT!

‘RANK-AND-FILE members are abandoning Queensland Labor in droves, further fuelling fears of an electoral wipeout of the Gillard government in the key battleground and damaging plans for a heavily manned grassroots campaign in the state.

‘More than 30 union officials have already been seconded to help run Labor’s campaign across Australia, with many being sent to Queensland as a third of the state ALP membership has abandoned the party in the past year.’

Michael McKenna in the Oz

Maybe 730 is just upset as he/she was Conroys first pick as the new media watchdog person, but now he/she will have to wait till after the election when labor are voted back in with a huge majority and he will be anointed as one of the nations saviours, just saying.

‘He is a master of his trade, the best and most persistent troll in the business.’

He’s a Deltoid trained master of obfuscation.

” and is prepared to sacrifice his credibility for his cause”

And that is why labor keeps getting a large percentage of the vote no matter how bad they are. People are voting for a cause/mission. It is just another belief system/religion.

I think something similar applies to Coalition voters but it is not as strong.

I vote for the Coalition because Labor always get us into dangerous debt.

People vote Labor because they think they are helping poor people.

In my estimation Tom R is only saved by his occasional wit.

And now for today’s political history quiz, Who Wrote That Manifesto? Answer later.

For the political problem: We demand:
a) Universal suffrage polled on a regional basis, with proportional representation and voting and electoral office eligibility for women.
b) A minimum age for the voting electorate of 18 years; that for the office holders at 25 years.
c) The abolition of the Senate.
d) The convocation of a National Assembly for a three-years duration, for which its primary responsibility will be to form a constitution of the State.
e) The formation of a National Council of experts for labor, for industy, for transportation, for the public health, for communications, etc. Selections to be made from the collective professionals or of tradesmen with legislative powers, and elected directly to a General Commission with ministerial powers.

a) The quick enactment of a law of the State that sanctions an eight-hour workday for all workers.
b) A minimum wage.
c) The participation of workers’ representatives in the functions of industry commissions.

For the financial problem: We demand:

b) The seizure of all the possessions of the religious congregations and the abolition of all the bishoprics, which constitute an enormous liability on the Nation and on the privileges of the poor.
c) The revision of all military contracts and the seizure of 85 percent of the profits therein.

“The rapid and complete systemization of the railways and of all the transport industries.”

Mmmmmmmmmm………..!

Looks a bit fascist to me

Mussolini was credited with getting buses and trains running on time.

So I’ll bet on Benito

“Hitler invented the Volkswagen and the Autobahns”

And we got some bunch of fuckwits who invented the taxpayer blackholes Holden and Ford Australia and the potholed Pacific Highway

That’s odd. I sent the answer through earlier. It must have been spaminated.

Oh look, there it is.

Nils is the only true right winger here …and maybe James. There’s a lot of left wing deserters looking for a place to hide.

‘I voted ALP in 2007 for the last time.’

Thought you might be another ALP deserter…. this place is full of them.

Human nature Reb. You know what I hate? I hate it when you take the dog to the beach, and other people’s dogs crap in the sand and they won’t pick it up. I give them one of my hummmphy looks, just so they know I noticed. Then my dog smells their dogs crap and she does a crap, so then I pick up my dogs crap because its the right thing to do, and I’m happy that the non crap pick up people notice, THEN whilst I’m bending over picking up the crap my dog kicks sand in my face! I really hate that.

Has anyone asked Gillard whether these super ministries are permanent? Are they the best model?

…and most importantly, can Craig Emerson be persuaded to do a singing press conference again?

“No Liberal government has ever achieved this coveted trifecta from all three global ratings agencies”

Over in leftoid lala land this is one reason given as to why Swan is such a great Treasurer.

We lost our credit rating under Keating and Costello got it back. However the third rating agency took some time to give us a Triple A rating. Since this occurred when Swan was Treasurer leftoids give Swan the credit. Other than increase our debt what has Swan done??

It was a mistake to visit. But TomR is an idiot. He keeps giving praise to Swan because of our relatively low Federal govt debt. Drives me mad.

We went from zero debt in 2007 to whatever it is now. $250B or something like that. And Swan gets the credit for our Triple A credit rating. Not Costello who reduced debt from 18% of GDP to zero.

Swan got the award from Europeans.

I rest my case.

Meaning their risk ratingtherefore interest rate is judged that way.

It’s tough to get assets offset against your debt be cause usually no one knows what “grade” they are.
