A few times I fight it, but then sometimes feeling off color, I give up, like the Australian Labor party, and remember everything is just krispy kreme icandy. So many zees and so little time.<br /><br />Or like leftie or lefty, endless indecisions and revisions, but hey join my campaign for Australia to become a state of the USA, rather than just stay a province.<br /><br />As for the Monthly, you're braver than me, as I can't abide anything with ideology as the telescope through which to view life, as it usually involves the wrong end. Just as I'm immune to Kev's charms, except in proportion to the frenzy he can arouse in right wingers like Janet Albrechtsen and Piers Akerman. Surely no point in reading him when you can enjoy the squawking of the loons flapping in fear of socialism.<br /><br />Meanwhile, grit your teeth on Jolly Joe. So long as he remains shadow treasurer, Birnam Wood will not come to Canberra, nor none of woman born rule this fair land.<br /><br />Oh and stalk away, herding the cats requires huge, integral amounts of stalking, and damn'd be him that first cries hold, enough. Now I know it's like bashing tape worms, a joke that had my partner howling in the shower (luckily with laughter).dorothy parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816807935021738560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620033997567463526.post-86856928121793547162009-05-13T09:05:00.000+10:002009-05-13T09:05:00.000+10:00Is the US spelling of flavour in the title of this...Is the US spelling of flavour in the title of this 'file' a clever joke that's gone over my head or am I just having a Hendo moment?<br /><br />I had an overtly leftie moment last year and subscribed to the Monthly and, while there is the odd nicely written article, I'm struggling to find anything worth reading. I printed off Kev's big essay on the GFC but couldn't muster the enthusiasm to actually read it.<br /><br />Dorothy, the budget was only released last night and I'm already sick to the stomach with every sound bite of Jolly Joe Hockey. I'd completely forgotten he was shadow Treasurer and the Labor mob must be as happy as Larry that the self-righteous bag of lard takes some attention away from what may or may not be a sub-standard budget.<br /><br />Two comments in two days. I guess I may or may not be stalking this blog.Adamnoreply@blogger.com
