No amount of razing Occitania could procure it, nor destroy it, if it took the impossible, northern high pass in deepest Winter, and it did, and it still grins to itself in the thrice-dark, leering and peering down on a near-forgotten Torino of yore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-63939156503515330722015-11-22T14:59:53.055+11:002015-11-22T14:59:53.055+11:00There was a Melbourne Age opinion journalist for q...There was a Melbourne Age opinion journalist for quite a while - back in the 1980s, and probably even earlier - who was clearly one of "them". He eventually made the mistake of thinking that he was more important than the Queen and did a 'character assassination' piece on her that, after a bit of argy-bargy, basically got him fired. He sorta disappeared completely then.<br /><br />I thought, initially, that he was a bit of a forerunner for the 'bread and water man' (aka Paul Sheehan), but more recently I reckon he was in the direct line of evolution leading straight to The Devine and The Bolter.<br /><br />I wish I could remember his name, but Google Search hasn't found him for me. I'd probably need to go back and read a whole lot of old Age archives to find him (and who wants to waste a lifetime doing that ?).<br />GrueBleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-90691655822468552822015-11-22T14:48:53.271+11:002015-11-22T14:48:53.271+11:00Now Anony, the Cthars, as I'm sure you'd k...Now Anony, the Cthars, as I'm sure you'd know, were outright dualists. Just think: they believed that there were separate 'divinities' for good and for evil. How much more evil than that can you get ?<br /><br />Incidentally, the form of the quote I'm familiar with is "Kill them all, God will recognize his own." Similar sentiment, I grant, but that bit about God recognizing his own is just a tad more Christian, don't you think ?<br />GrueBleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-46589131493911764092015-11-22T14:45:29.915+11:002015-11-22T14:45:29.915+11:00"Manne told me. “He obviously saw there was r..."Manne told me. “He obviously saw there was reputation and money to be made from being conservative. There were no examples of such people in Australia. In the mid ’90s this type emerged and he was one of the first.” "<br /><br />That is significant; but I don't think media corporations stumbled on any sort of gold mine in promoting conservatism; it was carefully orchestrated. They had (and still have) a lot to gain commercially from a captive audience scared of their own shadows.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-76138304043417491332015-11-22T12:31:58.227+11:002015-11-22T12:31:58.227+11:00Nice one Dot, a sort of join the dots exercise.Nice one Dot, a sort of join the dots exercise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03357935704345787537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-6653638466359246462015-11-22T10:32:28.945+11:002015-11-22T10:32:28.945+11:00Gollum Henderson has a big mindgasm on Insiders be...Gollum Henderson has a big mindgasm on Insiders because everyone's being so mean to his Tony.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-19375147851080238392015-11-22T08:25:08.466+11:002015-11-22T08:25:08.466+11:00Hang on, DP, all those writers, performers, broadc...Hang on, DP, all those writers, performers, broadcasters you've mentioned have one thing in common with professional religionists. They all get paid for producing material that people will buy. <br />So, in regard to the various matters they go on about, I'm reminded of my favourite dad joke, <a href="http://www.jokesgallery.com/jokes/4469/wooden-leg-pig" rel="nofollow">the pig with a wooden leg</a>.<br />I mean, if Papa Kelly came out with the ultimate solution to the world's troubles he'd make himself redundant.
