Melbourne’s Age, previously furious over bay dredging, seems to have calmed down slightly.
What a strange photo of Jaspan. I assumed he’d enter the building via a catflap or from a mole hole.

So the Age has caved: still, the heroic Blue Wedgies coalition continues with its work. Such as publicizing this school concert designed to (all together now) raise awareness of global warming.
#3 Global warming? Goddness, I hadn’t been aware. Thanks to this concert, my awareness has risen.

- Way way way off-topic, but too good not to share:

#2 – infidel, I always thought that the smage used a Harry Potter-like floo network, except that it was based on toilets rather than fireplaces.
The loo network. Jaspan arrives for work each morning, shaking a toilet lolly from his hair.

Sorry to say that the ad at #9 is a spoof. Buswell is still WA Opposition leader.

Worst-performed player in the Port Philip Bay Dredging Six-Act Comi-Tragedy was local member Greg Hunt who had to oppose it while, as a member of the Federal Government, supporting it in principle while objecting to ‘aspects’ of it while …
Then they lost Government. Greg Hunt was actually one of the few Liberal members to increase his majority which means either the Mornington Peninsula is a better place to live than Fitzroy, or it’s not.
#13 – Hey you never know, Troy could be looking for a spot of moonlighting.
I’m looking forward to see an advert for a blouse-lifting position for the karaoke-loving, puppy-nuzzling WA Premier Alan Carpenter.
Well, if that soured their inner latte, wait til they cop a load of THIS.
Priceless. Thank you, Christopher Brooker.
A notable story of recent months should have been the evidence pouring in from all sides to cast doubts on the idea that the world is inexorably heating up. The proponents of man-made global warming have become so rattled by how the forecasts of their computer models are being contradicted by the data that some are rushing to modify the thesis.
Last September’s data, showed ice cover had shrunk over six months to just 3 million but by March the ice had recovered to 14 million sq km
So a German study, published by Nature last week, claimed that, while the world is definitely warming, it may cool down until 2015 “while natural variations in climate cancel out the increases caused by man-made greenhouse gas emissions”.
A little vignette of the media’s one-sided view was given by recent events on Snowdon, the highest mountain in southern Britain. Each year between 2003 and 2007, the retreat of its winter snow cover inspired reports citing this as evidence of global warming.
…
In 2007 a Welsh MP, Lembit Opik, was saying “it is shocking to think that in just 14 years snow on this mountain could be nothing but a distant memory”.
Last November, viewing photographs of a snowless Snowdon at an exhibition in Cardiff, the Welsh environment minister, Jane Davidson, said “we must act now to reduce the greenhouse gases that cause climate change”.
Yet virtually no coverage has been given to the abnormally deep spring snow which prevented the completion of a new building on Snowdon’s summit for more than a month, and nearly made it miss the deadline for £4.2 million of EU funding.
Need I say, hit the link and read it all.
Fun for both VRWC members and satan’s lapdogs!

- 14 – FFS! What is it with these schoolboy antics?
Would they make me Governor For Life if I shagged Carmen Lawrence at high noon on Saturday in the Hay St Mall? Perhaps I’d rather not know the answer to that one.Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2008 05 05 at 06:28 AM • permalink
- I’ve had some preparation, I admit. Carmen and I passed each other in Rokeby Rd a couple of times when I lived in Subiaco.

Just heard more about Buswell on the local news – former Lib leader Paul Omodei says that more stories about Boy Troy will yet emerge. Hooboy, can’t hardly wait.

So the Age has met its match at muckraking, eh?

Out goes The Age with a whimper rather than a bang. Andrew Landeryou was onto this yesterday.
