  5. The picture of Canberra looks like a diorama from Logan’s Run—but this might explain Australia’s youth driven culture.

  6. Off Topic: Sid Rosenberg has been fired from the “Imus In The Morning” radio show for his ‘joke’ about Kylie Minogue’s cancer.

    http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/47135.htm

    You have to register to read the thing but I read it in the print edition and this ‘putz’ (good NY word) was an incredible screw up, even for a media personality.

    He’s made a series of racist, sexist, and homophobic remarks over the years and he actually went into rehab for smoking crack cocaine (!!!). Who still smokes crack in this day and age?

    I wonder if he was wearing parachute pants and listening to Vanilla Ice…

    Anyway, Kylie’s honor has been defended. Best wishes to her for a speedy recovery.

    ‘Thappy?

    For a scary moment there I thought she may have made a rational statement.

  13. When I was a kid Wirth’s Circus came to our town by train. You never lose memories of camels and elephants trundling across your back paddock in a railway truck. The circus set up in the local football ground and the next morning they found the two-metre Cyclone fence knocked over and the elephants missing. They found them in the yard of the local Catholic Church and the priest was always hopeful of them returning for a full conversion because “elephants never forget”.

  16. 5 c Greens leader Bob Brown, 2003
    “The blood of Australians, if and when it is spilt, is on this prime minister’s shoulders.”
    Is that what is called a mixed metaphor? or just poor English.
    A bit like saying - the blame lies firmly on John Howard’s hands.
    what kind of education did Bob Brown get?
