Yep, roll on 2010. Not only will there be a state election, but there will be another federal election, as well. This means there will be a half senate election, and the opportunity to piss Christine Milne off out of it….!
I have always been a Labor supporter, and up until a few years ago, I used to give second preference votes to the Greens. Not any more! And never again! They have totally lost me. Shit cartoons like this are doing nothing to drag me back, either. (This is especially the case as I am connected to the timber industry.)
The Greens and their supporters have been heaping shit on the state and federal governments like there is no tomorrow, and for them, there might not be. My sense of feeling among Labor people who have been more supportive of the Greens than me is that attitudes are hardening. To the Greens strategists, I say is that a fucked strategy, or what???? What do you hope to achieve???
Latest opinion polling suggests there is a softening of consideration of the importance of climate change, and related issues. If politics is the art of the possible, then what does this suggest to such an imovable object as Christine Milne, who is such a full on hard-line fundamentalist????
Would you lot really prefer a return to the Howard government? And in Tasmania, do you really think Will(where there is a Will, there is a relative!)Hodgman would be a better alternative???

Articulate as ever, George.

Gee you need to do an anger-management course, before all this bile poisons your whole system…...on the other hand, it’s probably to late…......

Gee, Annie, I appreciate your concern, but I really don’t need to do an anger management course. I am sitting here with a smile on my face, and with a glass of vin rouge at my elbow, and I am enjoying banging out my provocative little missives, and hitting the ‘submit’ button… I hope that doesn’t make you choke on your lentil burger, not that I mean to feign caring…

I’m not aware of Senator Milne having lied to parliament. Current Deputy Speaker Kons did. But he’s
Labor, so that’s allright with Woodworker, and the others in the 17% who trust this state government.

Sorry to disabuse you of your quaintly-held notions, George - I have never eaten a lentil burger, whatever they are. I like steak. And lamb. And venison. So your little dig at me presuming me to be some vego hippie or something is way short of the mark. I am an omivorous, wine-loving professional person with an aversion to incoherent, ranting, clueless bozos who tend to make sweeping and erroneous generalizations about things where their knowledge is glaringly shown to be zilch.

And your spluttering bile-filled rants reveal you to be someone in great need of anger-management. Have another glass of red and post some more crap!

I am sorry, Annie. I withdraw my generalisation. I am pleased to hear you like steak, lamb, and venison, and that you are an omnivorous, wine-loving professional, and I admit that my knowledge of your attributes is zilch, but I assure you I am not in any need of anger management. And yes, I am at this moment enjoying a quiet glass of wine…  cheers.

Glad to see you have calmed down a bit, George. Unfortunately, the point remains - whenever a green rag is waved in front of you, or current forestry practices are questioned by normal, reasonable people, there is some angry core to your psyche which causes and you to act in a Pavlovian manner with a splenetic, over-the-top incoherent and blasphemous rave. What on earth did they do to you to cause you to react like this? Must have been bad.

OK Annie, having apologised for being a bit personal in my response to you, and having tried to assure you that I really am quite calm, I see a response that I can only discribe as bizarre. What a diabolical, self-richeous, sanctimonious load of crap. I did not realise that the whole universe revolves around you, and that yours is the only point of view. “...act in a Pavlovian manner…”? I don’t think so. “...a splenetic, over-the-top incoherent and blasphemous rave.” I don’t think so. And “what on earth did they do to you…” Who do you mean by “they”?  I think you are seriously weird….

I rest my case!

Thank Christ for that!

Oh what, pray tell, Mr Woodworker, does ‘self-richeous’ mean? Surely you couldn’t mean ‘self-righteous’? Somehow your vituperation loses its punch when mis-spelled. (Tee-hee-hee)

Yes, Annie, I did mean ‘self-righteous’. I meant to correct it, but I pressed the ‘submit’ button before having done so. I admit fallibility on small points of detail, such as spelling. Isn’t it nice of me to give your tiny mind something to get excited about?

A medical practitioner friend of mine once gave one of his more neurotic female patients some fairly direct advice. I was acquainted with the woman, as well as with some of her circle of women friends. I happened to hear some of them (in the woman’s absence) discussing the advice the doctor had given her, after she had obviously revealed it. Her friends also found her a bit trying, and they were agreeing in their comments on his forthrightness, and his style.
What were his comments?  “Go and find yourself a good book, and sit on the toilet for a couple of hours!”  Just thought I would pass that on….

Well…......If we are going to discuss tiny minds old cocko; “if the shoe fits…..”

Your story about the woman, the book and the toilet is a bit lost on me: I think you might be labouring the point somewhat! Perhaps you should not have bothered passing it on. Or maybe your advice would be better taken by you yourself….you apparently have an extreme case of s**t on the liver. A few hours on the toilet would probably fix it. Let me know how you get on.

Can you two carry on your sniping in private email please?  This is not the forum for such a low level exchange.

Casey.

Sorry, Casey, you are quite right and I consider myself chastened. I’ll try not to do it again - its just that sometimes foul language and stupid ideas really get me going!
