• “Have you been hit by the power blackouts?” asks the Age. “Email us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).” But how?
• A government report on Victoria’s “stressed environment” worries that “80% of private land [has been] cleared since European settlement.” Well, yes; that’s where people put houses and cities and such.
• It’s the shortest strike in Australian maritime history: “Dock workers around Australia have observed a minute’s silence to mark the 10th anniversary of Australia’s massive waterfront dispute.”
• Damian Penny has a challenge for troofers.
• We’ve gone past round three of the AFL season and I’ve only just now realised that North Melbourne are calling themselves North Melbourne again. Good for them.
• Germany wants compensation for increased CO2 emissions due to phasing out clean nuclear energy.
• “Doom is coming - doom, I say.” Lyle presents an alarmist view.

A government report on Victoria’s “stressed environment” worries that “80% of private land [has been] cleared since European settlement.” Well, yes; that’s where people put houses and cities and such.
so demolish houses and cities and such.
It’s the shortest strike in Australian maritime history: “Dock workers around Australia have observed a minute’s silence to mark the 10th anniversary of Australia’s massive waterfront dispute.”
just time for a little pilfering.
Damian Penny has a challenge for troofers.
spoil the plot.
We’ve gone past round three of the AFL season and I’ve only just now realised that North Melbourne are calling themselves North Melbourne again. Good for them.
Whatever.
Germany wants compensation for increased CO2 emissions due to phasing out clean nuclear energy.
See Gore and Brown.
“Doom is coming - doom, I say.” Lyle presents an alarmist view.
Alarming.

Land and marine management has improved in recent decades, but biodiversity continues to decline and it is time to investigate new approaches.
Concern about “biodiversity” and “how to fix it” is just more King Canute stuff. It’s a perfectly reasonable scientific term that is increasingly used as a political football.Posted by daddy dave on 2008 04 08 at 08:26 AM • permalinklyle lyle lyle lyle lyle lyle. This has got to stop.
paco, I say we take him out now. Either we can go the cunning crafty clever route (get him drunk on XXX bitter, stick him in a bed with an equally inebriated Margo and Maureen Dowd, each wearing baby doll nities, take photos and “accidently” include them in Karl’s power point lecture on VRWC Strategies for the Democratic Convention).
Or ...
We go the quick route and simply zap him with the orbital space cannon.

Have at it!
Posted by Nilknarf Arbed on 2008 04 08 at 09:02 AM • permalink#10: Wronwright: I don’t know about option #1; seems too clever by half. Mark L would probably be the one working the camera, and what if he “accidentally” snaps a shot of you and me carrying, respectively, Maureen and Margo up to the hotel room over our shoulders, as if they were a couple of moth-eaten sleeping bags? And what if the photos “accidentally” got back to our wives? Exactly.
Maybe we’re going about this the wrong way. How hard can this poetry stuff be, after all? Let’s give it a whirl.
There once was a PM named Rudd,
Who…er…something, something Elmer Fudd,
He met with the Queen,
Who said, “Well, Old Bean,”
You…uh…something, something, something, a real dud.Hmm…
Orbital space cannon, it is! Fire in the hole!!!And a Greenpeace survey.
It’s about time we Death Beasts took advantage of the opportunities provided for us to have our say.

Ohh I don’t know. Banging Morse-code on the pipings? Homing pigeons, maybe? Perhaps a Bat Sign.
The latter would of course need to be powered by carbon-neutral beeswax candles as not to upset Mother Gaia and the ecocentrics.‘Sides, I thought power shortages would be good for the environment. No sinful carbon-emitting for a while at least.
Do you have any idea what a space cannon would do to the environment?

I can assure you the space cannon does not use freon.
Posted by wronwright on 2008 04 08 at 02:33 PM • permalinkFine, but I’ll only sign off on this if we include squirrels and woodchucks as part of the payload.
Posted by MikeTheLibrarian on 2008 04 08 at 02:44 PM • permalinkAnd why are
the idiotsdie Deitch phasing out clean, Gaia-friendly nuclear power?The Phrench can run multiple nuclear power plants with no problem, but the Huns can’t? Oh how the mighty have fallen….

O/T, but good riddance; the WORST minister I ever had the misfortune to deal with. Bastard landed me with two red-tag files, one for his mate Gareth Gaerth and the other for his shit-lipped press secretary. Went to water on both when I had the temerity to defend myself, cowardly weasel.
