Health debate a sign of a sick society

March 23, 2010
Fellow travellers, I have just been listening to Tony Abbott and Kevin Rudd "debating" the topic of health on the radio.

The former priest was his usual pugilistic self. I could have sworn he was going to lash out and throw a punch at several points in the standoff! He really is appalling, and I wouldn't be surprised if he arrived on his pushbike in his "budgie smugglers" to try and intimidate his opponent.

But I wasn't really listening to what Rudd was saying. And frankly, I'm not concerned with who "won" or "lost". I just think the whole issue is pointless. Ultimately it doesn't matter how much money is thrown at this issue, or how it is spent. Why? Because health is a spiritual issue. You only get sick if you have bad karma, after all.

CIA used LSD

March 14, 2010
Fellow travellers, appalling reich-wingers are fond of accusing us of harboring outlandish and ludicrous theories about the deviousness of the Great McSatan in general, and the CIA in particular.

We all know about how they tried to kill fellow traveller Fidel Castro with an exploding cigar. And now a new example of their cruelty has come to light: The CIA sprinkled LSD on bread in a small French town, resulting in widespread hallucinations.

This is deeply distressing, particularly when you con...

Academy Awards ambivalence

March 9, 2010
Fellow travellers, I am heartened to know that sassy sister Kathryn Bigelow won the Oscar for Best Director, and her film won Best Picture. This is certainly a highly empowering development for women all across the globe. And it's a nice coincidence that it just happened to occur at around the same time as International Women's Day.

But I am frankly appalled that she dedicated her win to "the women and men in the military who risk their lives on a daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan. May they...

The human face of sheep farming

January 15, 2010
Fellow travellers, a lamb has been born with a human face.

Gaia has been sending us messages for a long time. And this has to be one of the clearest yet!

As usual, the "scientific" explanation - that the abnormality has been caused by a vitamin A deficiency - is completely inadequate. Look at the photo. How could that face not be trying to tell us something?

And what is the lesson we must learn? Clearly, that sheep are people too! And that we shouldn't exploit them as we do, stealing their wool ...

Ninja monkeys for Gaia!

December 17, 2009
Fellow travellers, as you all know I abhor violence. However, here is one event in which it is justified: A troupe of monkeys trained in martial arts have used these very techniques on their trainer!

What they were protesting is not clear. But I suspect that with the Copenhagen conference in full swing, they were raising awareness of climate change; telling those watching that Gaia would revolt spectacularly if we did not show respect to Her and make a global deal to end all greenhouse gas em...

I believe that children are our future

November 15, 2009
Fellow travellers, we often hear from the reactionary right that academia has been overtaken by the left. Nothing could be further from the truth. Universities across the globe are still completely dominated by eeevil white peenie-wavers who are hell bent - or should that be straight? - on oppressing women, minorities and Gaia.

Take this latest so-called "experiment": Psychologists in California have looked into how young children cope with fears both real and imagined. They were read stories...

Feeding the forces of darkness

November 14, 2009
While our new Prime Minister has been a vast improvement over the last, sometimes he's just as appalling and reactionary. Take this new directive, encouraging women to breastfeed their babies for the first six months.

This is a clear attempt to enslave women yet again. Surely, it would be much more empowering for them if the men were made to perform this duty instead.

The Liberal Party, Zoo Weekly and Claire Werbeloff

November 9, 2009
Fellow travellers, I'm sure many of you will remember Claire Werbeloff, who enjoyed a brief period of "stardom" after pretending to witness a shooting at Kings Cross.

Well, she has made the news again! It seems that she has been asked to be a Liberal candidate for the seat of Bradfield. As this article says, that appalling men's magazine Zoo Weekly has offered to pay for her to run.

You know the Liberal Party is simply beyond hope when they are commissioning these appallingly sexist peenie wav...

Conservative "cave man" conspiracy!

November 6, 2009
Fellow travellers, I'm sure that you are all sick and tired of climate change deniers insisting that those determined to stop the impending global catastrophe actually want to take humanity "back to the Stone Age" and "make us all cavemen". This is a contemptible and utterly false accusation! (But even if it weren't, what would be wrong with living more in harmony with nature, like our distant ancestors did?)

In any case, the many reich-wingers in the media and politics never miss a chance to ...

The age of bizarre

November 5, 2009
Fellow travellers, you may have read about this strange event, in which the reactionary, peenie-waving London Mayor "Bonking Boris" Johnson saved Franny Armstrong - climate change activist and director of the searing film The Age of Stupid - from an attack by several young women.

I'm sure that this "brave" act was completely unnecessary. Ms Armstrong surely could have protected herself had he not arrived so "heroically" on the scene. That's why these comments are so bizarre: "He was my knight ...
