Fun in Bomber Land
Shepard Fairey’s iconic Hope poster inspired this James Hird image. It also reminds me that the best part of the current footy scandal is watching the squirming of Melbourne's “finest” as they defend the indefensible and work out which mates to protect!

Running Away
Storm in a Teacup?
I know it is just a game, and I know I have more important things to do than post this blog entry. But, I can’t help wondering what it is that I am missing about the ginormous kerfuffle encompassing Victoria and the NRL.
According to the official Storm website there are 36 players on the NRL squad. In the absence of any better information I will assume that this number is not unusual. So, what is the magnitude and significance of the overpayments?
SMH brings us the future
It’s about 7pm on New Year’s Eve so we have just 5 hours or so of 2009 left.
But, Dylan Welch at the Sydney Morning Herald isn’t letting a small fact like that stop him from reporting that the Victorian Police will be making an arrest tomorrow. That does, of course, presume that the fugitive in question doesn’t read the “Early Edition” and change his plans.
Do we really still need saints?
The following started as a short Facebook update after I satisfied myself that most tweets about Mary MacKillop were negative. But, it kept on growing so it’s ended up here…
is pleased to report that a totally informal check of today’s tweets on MacKillop’s sainthood shows close to 100% comment on the irrelevancy and pure stupidity of an institution that would have us believe that they have proof that an unidentified woman was cured of lung cancer as a result of her prayers to a dead nun.
Frankly, it is embarrassing to just repeat their claim … one can only assume that everyone involved in this crap, from the Pope down, are required to check-in their brains when they pick up their robes.
Importantly, the scorn and derision is aimed at the institution, not the person. I suspect that Mary MacKillop would be as embarrassed by the todo and the sycophantic “reporting” as the authors of todays tweets.
And another thing… Should it concern us that the one man whose decisions will affect us more than any other actually aligns himself with the morons who accepted this “proof”. To make matters worse, Rudd is perfectly comfortable with taking advantage of the “saint’s” profile for his crass personal gain.
