  2. I’d spend $15 for dinner knowing that buffoon was somewhere else.

  3. Pilger’s vivid eyewitness reporting and tenacious interviews with the powerful blow away the secrets and lies of our rulers.

    Um… he doesn’t have dinners with Australian generals, does he?

  4. “and the forgotten Chagos Islands…”

    So forgotten I never heard of them before.  I suppose my life is complete now.

    Should be an easy win for Pilger. Hilarious image, incidentally.

  7. Might I suggest using Purest Amerindian Cactus Oil for all of your wrestling needs? If it’s PACO, it’ll make you an oily prick. (Now, by appointment to John Kerry and John Pilger.)

  10. 9.  Plastic turkey and bacon, I predict.

    Sorry, repast of this sort must needs be Hallal.

  11. Plastic turkey and bacon, I predict.

    At $10 per person, after administrative costs and Pilger’s fee, that’s about all they could serve. 

    Unless McDonald’s caters the event.  Which would be ironic.

  13. # 6 KK -

    who’s organising the Blair Bus of Freedom to take hecklers to this event?

    KK, already I’ve seen flyers in restaurants and on utility poles advertising bus rides by a company called Perfect Assistants Chauffeuring On-time.  I think I’ll go.

    I already have a list of conspiracy theories in which Pilger would seem to be a willing and important participant.  I have memos faxed to me from Texas that outlines how Pilger worked closely with Karl Rove and George Bush to steal not one but two US Presidential elections.  All for the purpose of enabling Pilger to sell books.

    He has much explaining to do.

  14. Typical, of a Shire Council to advertise this little event at a bookstore, who the hell would pay 10 cents to hear this propagandist and his doomsday stories. There is no doubt about it, local government definitly has an over abundance of lefty promoters.

  15. #8 Might I suggest a converted Bentley, boss?

    There is no doubt about the fact that local government definitely has too much of your money to spend.

  17. #15: By all means, Andy, you can suggest anything you like. But why stop there? Why not suggest a stretch Rolls Royce equipped with a hot tub and a bevy of beautiful, naked secretaries? And a keg of beer? And a plasma screen TV tuned to ESPN? Sure, why shouldn’t a marketing officer have something even better than the CEO? Yes, yes, you wait right there and we’ll send someone around with it.

  18. Woo-hoo! Thanks, boss, you’re the best!

  19. occurs to me that the best thing to do might be to get a stretch roller with a huge doof-doof box, fill it with RWDBs nice people, rock on out to eltham, park outside the pilgerfest & play really loud handel trumpet stuff while swilling champers & waving aussie flags

  20. play really loud handel trumpet stuff while swilling champers & waving aussie flags

    Well, there goes my plan to accuse Pilger of being integrally involved in VRWC conspiracies.  I can just see myself trying to shout over the clamor of KK’s trumpets.

  22. My brother and me used to shoot rabbits at Eltham many moons ago.

    Looks like we didn’t shoot enough of them, the rabbits are still infesting Eltham.

  23. No, Pedro, rabbits have more sense.  You should have been hunting latte drinkers wearing dirty Che shirts.
