No, but I like the way you're thinking Fugitive : would make a great name for a band :)

Well, I certainly tumbled 😆 Didn't have a clue who he was!

I hope I'm wrong, but I think when we get to April, we're going to consider March to be a great month by comparison. I'm one of those that believe the world would be a lot better place if Trump drops off the perch today, but we're still going to feel the ramifications for years to come.

Who cares about fuel? Just let me know when I need to stock up on toilet rolls again!

Have always been astounded by - especially poor Americans - who have been convinced that the rich paying a fair tax rate is a form of socialism.

Watching Marles on 7.30 ... seriously, is there anyone out there that considers him a good media performer? Fuck, it worries me that he's only a heartbeat away from the top job (if so, for hopefully less days than Frank Forde!).

I wonder how the good folk of Maranoa feel about their representative having run out of energy when there is still 2 years to run on his term?

I went to a school for handicapped kids in the early 60s. Quite a few classmates were afflicted by polio. I don't care so much about the adults in the anti-vaccine mob - hopefully thins out the herd - but the fact they often have the say for the most vulnerable is just criminal.

Definitely put a tick in the plus column when it comes to the Fugitive! I'm sure you'll have a good time in Oz, Rob. And don't worry, you'll find plenty of opportunities to lose golf balls down under!!

Always reminds of that one bloke who used to turn up to gatherings, brag about how good he was, then, after pissing off, everyone would say what a wanker he is! Makes you wonder what the world has turned into if this dipshit is considered an 'influencer'.

😆

Botox and toxic ...

Why am I reminded of General Dreedle and Moodus from Catch 22?

Not trying to stir the pot, merely a question ... wasn't the economy fairly humming when George W. went looking for WMDs? Thought the crash came after?

How many more countries is Israel allowed to invade before any form of criticism isn't deemed anti-semitic?

Thanks Magical ... had forgotten about Thiel! Good idea by the way re the submersible :)

... the pulpit : Zuck, Musk, Bezos, Murdoch, Ellison control the media and are the richest people on the planet.

Nothing would make me happier if all 3 dropped off the perch but sadly they will soon be replaced by some other evil dipshit. The reality is, at least in the case of Bibi and Trump, millions voted for these pricks. The answer is education but no real chance of that when the people who hold ...

Spent a good part of the day watching Trump's war, the mini series on Fox creator Roger Ailes and now the Epstein files on ABC ... and we're worried about whether there are any good Muslims?

An oldie but a goldie! Never realised he was born in Egypt and took his stage name from the explorer.

I'm left wondering what Keating would have done with so much in the tank. I'd like to think he wouldn't have been as quick to jump on board the Trump train.

‘Unprofessional attempt at a hit job’: Dutton lets fly as Liberal review leaks Former Coalition leader Peter Dutton has described the Liberal Party’s suppressed election review as a gratuitously personal hit job after the full report was leaked to this masthead.

LOL. Someone has leaked the damaging secret review. Dutton blaming others for his abject defeat. Hume and Taylor fingered for their gaffes. Price nailed for her dumb MAGA plagiarism. Looks like they’ve learned nothing. Struggling Albo must thank his lucky stars

I have a question…if an Australian relative of one of those kids killed in the Iranian school retaliates by shooting up or bombing a synagogue, do we have a royal commission into antisemitism or a royal commission into why the Australian government was so quick to give vocal support to US/Israel?

If the bloke won in a photo finish you could understand why he panders to every conservative impulse, but he won in a landslide. Use the mandate FFS.

The only way you could get me to watch the state of the union tonight is if there reliable proof that Trump were going to be arrested on camera for the rape of a 13-year-old child charges.

I've seen clips of previous state of the union addresses and they must be among the biggest wankfests of all time. And some of those were from presidents I admired. As for listening to Trump for an hour straight, I'd rather put certain body parts through a grinder.

What a legacy for those three : clearly all in privileged positions yet make their mark by spreading hate and division.

😆 Ah, I've got much more hope for you Fugitive : reckon you're just getting warmed up!

Thanks Fugitive ... and yes, the big seven-oh later in the year. Like to say I'm wiser, but that's probably a myth. Enjoyed the journey though and the vast majority of fellow travellers.

True : many of us still cringe about the Australian PM's kiss arse "all the way with LBJ" and that was back in the 60s.
A year later said PM drowned when he went out for a paddle in rough surf and we named a swimming pool after him, so not sure what that says about us!
