smogblot: November 2006

http://smogblot.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html

A blog of sorts. Thursday, November 23, 2006. Why don't you tell us what you really. Looks like Bill Muehlenberg's. Website is going to well and truly deserve its place under Blog Fodder. On my sidebar. His latest entry is titled thusly:. You read that title and you just know what's coming:. Sure, some religious people (mostly Muslims) have done bad things but the atheists Hitler, Stalin and Mao killed way more people.". Bill's source of inspiration for this post is an. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

smogblot: May 2005

http://smogblot.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html

A blog of sorts. Wednesday, May 18, 2005. Guess what Janet's crying about this week. For her contribution to today’s Australian. Janet Albretchsen chose a topic she and her fellow conservative commentators rarely canvas in their newspapers columns ‘the left wing bias of the media’. What next? Andrew Bolt having a shot at environmentalists? A close look at Janet’s column reveals that she indeed has an odd conception of the role the media ought to play here in Australia and in the United States. If you don...

veni vidi blogi: April 2012

http://venividiblogi.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

I came, I saw, I gnawed it to death. Well it has been a very long time between drinks, as I waited for a suitable, appropriate, telling, devastatingly insightful (you get the picture) moment to celebrate blog the one thousandth number. Australian politics at any level is leaving me - along with a goodly proportion of the Australian public, it would seem - feeling more or less meh. If you follow me. Them Frequently. No links, I know you will have read the stories. Don't you people have anything. But for n...

I came, I saw, I gnawed it to death. Sometime in the last few years - by which I mean a decade or so, they fly past so quickly - I started noticing and thinking about changes in popular music. I've been keen on popular music, of various genres I suppose, for some time but don't pretend to be an expert (until I've got a skinful, then I'm absolutely like every other expert). Then disco. Then punk, but somehow with the rosy tinted glasses of hindsight punk never really plumbed the depths of human emotion.

I came, I saw, I gnawed it to death.

veni vidi blogi: feats don't fail me now

http://venividiblogi.blogspot.com/2012/06/feats-dont-fail-me-now.html

I came, I saw, I gnawed it to death. Feats don't fail me now. There's not a hell of lot of space between my ears for things to go round and round in, but go round and round they do. I was particularly taken with. Commentary about the new TV ads for Woolies, which features an unbearably twee voice singing about love and unbearably twee visuals of people who evidently love working for Woolies and because it's all new and whatevs. Because it, like, simplifies and stuff? On the other hand, writing 'ilk' brin...

veni vidi blogi: money makes the world go round

http://venividiblogi.blogspot.com/2012/05/money-makes-world-go-round.html

I came, I saw, I gnawed it to death. Money makes the world go round. But increasingly money is not making the world go round except for an increasingly privileged few. Read a bit about how. I love the author's preamble to the comments section. I got one the other day, full of factual inaccuracies and such a lazy piece of work I felt like framing it. What I will be doing is writing back to tell them they've lost my business. I hope it makes them feel muppet-like as that will be my intention. Flop eared mu...

veni vidi blogi: September 2011

http://venividiblogi.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

I came, I saw, I gnawed it to death. So now, all ABC radio news bulletins lead with "the Opposition (or Opposition Leader) said." That will then be followed by a direct rebuttal by a Government Minister or reference to the Government's position on whatever the issue was. So: is this the pro-Coalition bias that has the left-looniness of the blogosphere in perpetual meltdown? Or is it a subtle way of giving the Government the last word on everything, so as to get the correct message to listeners? If not sh...
