“I think the best I can say about that is Mark Latham’s about the past, we’re all about the future,” Mr Rudd said. “We all hope Mark will just get on with his life.”
And yet, strangely, his party did their level best to make Mark Latham the future for all of you. Best to keep reminding them of that on election day.

“a public bad.”
A NYT “journalist” actually wrote that phrase? They’ve gone from being the publication of record to the publication of remedial reading.

Up to 15,000 Australians would die each year from heat-related illness, bushfires would double and some of the nation’s most treasured icons would disappear under the federal government’s climate plan, a conservation group claims.
So if that’s the WWF prediction, you can expect typhoons in Sydney and glaciers in Alice Springs that year…

“a public bad.”
A NYT “journalist” actually wrote that phrase? They’ve gone from being the publication of record to the publication of remedial reading.
FWIW, “public bad” is somewhat of an established phrase in (environmental) economics, in analogy to “public good”. It doesn’t appear that the NYT writer was using it in that sense though, or at least he seems to be stretching it way beyond its original meaning.
I think he’s more guilty of cluelessly using catch phrases than of ignorance of language per se.
- Regarding the $100 offer for recordings of commie profs, David Horowitz, anti-communist and fighter for intellectual diversity in U.S. leftist-dominated academe, has weighed in stompingly against the Bruin Alumni Association on this.
Horowitz complains that the Bruin Alumni Association’s plan is designed not to promote campus intellectual diversity but, instead, to purge the university of leftist ideas.
Horowitz says, “Several of its conservative board members, James Rogan, Stephan Thernstrom, Manny Klauser and Jascha Kessler have already resigned. We applaud them for doing so, and hope they will be followed by others.”
To top it off, Horowitz says some very harsh things about Andrew Jones, whose “brainchild” the group is, according to Horowitz, and who, Horowitz says, worked briefly at Horowitz’s Center for the Study of Popular Culture and “was fired for unethical behavior.”
Link to Horowitz’s blog post on the subject:
“Bruin Alumni Association: How not wage a campus campaign”
- In his article, Luke McIlveen said:
“Mr Rudd, who was the main target of Mr Latham’s bile in his largely fictitious Diaries, said the ALP was trying to move on.”
I would like to know the “largely fictitious” parts of Latham’s Diaries. It was an amazing dump on the ALP nad his own party colleagues but fictitious?
Has Latham’s Diary been fisked?
maybe he should get an australia day gong
Just give him the mallet.

- ”…Expose commie academics, earn $$$!…”
Fascinating reading the uclaprofs site.
And I thought all the ugly chicks went on to do Vet Science in college.
Now I know they also stay in academia and do (ahem) Women’s Studies (shouldn’t that be Womyn?).
Taking a bow and hitting every branch on the ugly tree on the way down…

- An excellent post by Cathy Seipp. SHe makes good points. Too bad those twits won’t learn from this.
ForNow—thanks for the update. I was most disturbed to see that article about the bounties. At best, that is juvenile. At worst, just vile.
