Of course he's not the only 'offender', but he's a useful example. I have downloaded the original article - much appreciated :)Mishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739039921358799040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-7781235421716942682015-12-02T19:58:26.620+11:002015-12-02T19:58:26.620+11:00Hi Dorothy,

The syntax worked but when you actually considered an individual sentence like;<br /><br />“But if the tactic backfires, downplaying the threat of transnational jihadist ideology may empower it”<br /><br />It started to feel like wading through a sweet creme filling that only offered empty calories. Maybe it’s a bit like this;<br /><br />http://www.forbes.com/sites/emilywillingham/2015/11/30/why-do-some-people-find-deepak-chopra-quotes-deep-and-not-dung/<br /><br />Maybe that’s how you come to believe you are one of the top ten intellectuals in the country…..nobody can understand you.<br /><br />DW<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-5816015448255336902015-12-02T14:31:12.534+11:002015-12-02T14:31:12.534+11:00they do have such nice white teeth don't they?...they do have such nice white teeth don't they?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-65820386009544329542015-12-02T13:56:13.113+11:002015-12-02T13:56:13.113+11:00I do sincerely hope HRH Julie Bishop and her princ...I do sincerely hope HRH Julie Bishop and her prince were served 1893 Veuve Clicquot and Beluga Cavair on the $30,000 trip between Canberra and Perth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-48126095369546355972015-12-02T13:11:27.026+11:002015-12-02T13:11:27.026+11:00Although I don't love to read the reptiles and...Although I don't love to read the reptiles and be reminded of how much dunning-kruger there is in the world, I did notice a sentence in the gobbet you provided Dot, in which dame slap says getting rid of knights and dames is a no brainer that doesn't take any intelligence or courage. I'm wondering, so how much brain did it take for Abbott to introduce them? And did she slap him?<br /><br />I guess alpha bitches don't slap alpha males; the deal, as I understand it is they suck up whatever is offered to them and hope this time they picked the real manly man. <br /><br />Dame slap hasn't picked well has she? A long history of picking duds even when it comes to women, like the adorable (not) Sarah Palin.<br /><br />Oriel is some sort of libertarian isn't she? She's up with all the categorisation and jargonification that libertarians like so much - neo conservative and classical liberal - and libertarians do like the idea that are more intelligent than the average and that's why no one understands them and their stupid ideology - so I'm guessing that Mal's claim about his high IQ annoys a lot of them especially ones who like to rank themselves on these hierarchical scales.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-38437686142518643482015-12-02T12:13:24.538+11:002015-12-02T12:13:24.538+11:00For the benefit of the tape, Mal, do please speak ...For the benefit of the tape, Mal, do please speak clearly. <br />As for the blowhorns, resident or imported, there is no need for the script is written already.
