Let me tell you why I love Cate Blanchett.

She is easily Australia’s most talented actor. She is wealthy, famous and down to earth. She remains unblemished in the commercial press, a true rarity nowadays. There’s no doubt about it:

Cate
Is
Great

Despite the trappings of her fame and fortune she has no qualms about giving back to the community. Giving back to Australia, the country that she loves. On the 26th of Feb Cate Blanchett agreed to make coffee and lap dance for the representatives of Kevin Rudd’s 2020 Summit.


Cate was reticent at first but when Kevin (07) waved the “Cate must dress like a nurse” clause, she jumped on board immediately.

It’s refreshing to see a woman so willing to get into the kitchen and brew coffee for the nation.

Let me tell you why I love Kevin Rudd.

He can speak Chinese, he is forward thinking and he said “Sorry”. Politically Kevin (07) is that feeling of relief you get after discovering your not HIV positive anymore. No longer suffering from the ravishing disease you contracted on the night of the ‘96 Federal Election. There’s no doubt about it

Kevin
. Is
Heaven.

Kevin (07) apologized to Indigenous Australians. An apology that was long overdue. He paved the way for healthy and flourishing communication between Indigenous Australians and the Government. These conversations will mark the end of their socio-economic ostracism.


It was good, no… bloody fantastic to see how Kevin (07)’s focus has now shifted to women. It’s about bloody time we suppress that no good gender.

“He said that he will make them a minority,” A friend close to Kevin (07) said. “He said that we (men) would over represent them (women) in every government planning committee. Cut their contribution to society. Starve their influence. Slowly move them into the outskirts of society. It was there, he said, they would stay.”

Inspiring stuff.

Now I don’t mean to say that this “fe-whaling” of the population is going to happen straight away. The changes will take years, possibly a generation. It’s about future cultural reeducation. Kevin’s PR move was brilliant. Get a high-profile token chick onboard. What better way to gain the most public attention for your policies then getting an Australian Hollywood A-lister to prepare the food and dance provocatively on the laps of the conference’s representatives?

If Cate’s doing it, then every woman should do it. That’ll be his first move.

Cooking
=
Freedom

The reason for this policy shift, women threaten Kevin (07). His wife, $Thérèse$, is a successful business owner, worth millions. A soft cookie, I think not. She’s not from the “mouth shut, oven open” generation of Jeanette Howard. No, She represents the evolved woman. A woman who, I bet my bottom dollar “wears the pants”.

Then there’s the Gillard problem. Julia is hiding somewhere, breathing down his neck, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. When she strikes it will be quick and unleash the fires of hell. It will be violent, brutal and red. So red, in fact, that Gillard’s attack will change the house of Reps to the colour of the senate. Kevin (07) knows this. He knows there is estrogen pumping from all directions and he has no umbrella with which to shield himself.

He must act now!

Kevin (07)’s “Pulverize Poonani” Platform is a sure-fire PR winner. I think it takes a man with extremely brave thoughts and progressive dreams to hold a conference planning for Australia’s future with only white middle-aged men at the vanguard.

Kevin (07) – One
Women - Zero

THE NEW COLD WAR

February 26th 2008 06:03
All bets on…

The cessation of Kosovo from Serbia is a provocative move that will bring about a continuation of the Cold War.

Kosovo has been fighting for independence from Serbia for years. America (NATO and the UN by proxy) have held the cessation of Kosovo as one of their significant policy ideals since the toppling of Slobodan Milosevic in 2000.

Now, Slobodan was an arsehole in the true sense of the word. He was a power hungry, ethnocentric mass murderer who dragged the former Yugoslavian region into chaos. The thing about Kosovo and their independence is that the Serbian people and their Russian friends find it completely unreasonable (their official and unofficial reasons are up for debate). Regardless, the Russians want Kosovo to remain part of the Serbian nation and as such under their influence. So, as has happened before, the actions of the USA have brought about yet another ideological clash with the Russians.

In Russia at the moment, Vladimir Putin is experiencing significant support. The Russian people see him as a bright light in the darkness of their post-cold war positioning. Compared to the lack-lustre (and somewhat humorous) antics of former president Boris Yeltsin, Putin is a massive sledgehammer hanging over the ignition button to a immeasurable armoury of nuclear weapons. He has no problem starving the Ukraine of gas during their coldest winters, and I suspect he gets a hard-on when creating rigid diplomatic situations where he can flex the full muscle of mother Russia.

Oh God bless the US of A. They have spent so much time and energy thanking Jesus, killing Iraqi insurgents (or families, depending on who you ask), random shoppers and school kids, that they are quickly becoming the underdog in a war with two old enemies, Russia and China. These enemies have both the motivation and the numbers to decapitate the former commercial and militaristic superiority that the US of A once enjoyed. That stranglehold died with Reagan.

Ronald Reagan was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Nancy signed it. And Nancy’s name was good upon it. `Change, for anything she chose to put her hand to. Old Reagan was as dead as a door-nail. But Ronny's legacy of Star Wars lives on in the hearts and minds of the categorically retarded occupant of 1800 Pennsylvania Avenue. Putin knows Bush is a spare cunt with an incredibly low approval rating. He knows that every act of diplomacy that Bush has ever tried to put his hand to, he has fucked up miserably. Let me repeat MISERABLY…

While Bush screams ignorance, Putin screams megalomania (a psychological state characterized by delusions of grandeur). He has already proved that he can maintain his stranglehold on the political process in Russia. He has successfully suppressed every form of uprising against the Russian state, be it from Chechnya, Georgia, the Ukraine (etc.). The only way the cessation of Kosovo is going to be any different, is that it is backed by the USA and Europe. Therefore it is going to be a little more difficult than suppressing the "Islamic Fundamentalists" that make up the majority of the "Chechnyan Rebels". At every opportunity Putin continues to ramp up his anti-western sentiment. Every time he does, he does so to rapturous applause. He is Russian, yes, but he possesses such immense political propensity that you’d think he was the love child of Hitler and Stalin. Sorry, I digress.

So to sum up why I think the cessation of Kosovo is going to bring about the new cold war.

1) Serbia and Russia want Kosovo to remain under their axis of power.
2) George W. Bush is a serious fucking ning nong but he doesn’t like people talking bad about the West. (Notice that he always refers to the West as Freedom)
3) Putin continues to disrespect the West side and every time he does, he gets more and more popular.
4) Putin has warned about the possibility of a looming Cold War due to provocative actions of the US of A and their “missile defence systems”.
5) Almost a week to the day after Putin announces the possibility of a new cold war, America supports the cessation of Kosovo.

And Finally….

If this shit goes down, I’ve got my money on Russia.

Russia, if they were smart would team up with China and China’s pit-bull North Korea (a country with the fourth largest army in the world. NK has an army and a population who are completely indoctrinated and willing to die for their leader.). This combination could quite easily spell the end of the American Empire; an Empire that brought us Coca-Cola, Tom Cruise and MacDonald’s. It’ll be sad to see them go but hey as Peter Griffin from Family Guy said:

“This is life. So go and have a ball. Because the world don't move to the beat of just one drum. What might be right for you may not be right for some. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have...my opening statement. Sit, Ubu, sit. Good dog.”

***Deep Breath In***
Fuck Corey Delaney is a knob.
***Deep Breath Out***

Now that’s out of the way its time to be a little, how do you say, objective about this Victorian vagabond and his scallywag ways. God bless his pink cotton doona.

First, all I can say is that anyone and I mean anyone (not just a fledgling pubescent) who scams the Victorian Tax payers of their hard earned dollars is a dead-set legend. Not just in the Donald Bradman sense of the word but in the Robin Hood/Ned Kelly sense of the word. That is, robbing from the rich (his parents and the Victorian Tax payer) and giving to the poor (himself and over 500 taxpaying parent's children). God bless his pink cotton doona.

Fuck, don't get me wrong, I like ecstasy as much as the next dude. Ecstasy makes you dance like a dickhead but rarely does it put you in the situation where you draw negative attention from hard hitting journalist's like the ones they harvest on Channel 7's todaytonight! That journalist works for tabloid journalism on commercial television man! If anyone knows why you’re wearing those sunglasses it's that coke whore. Who are you trying to fool, your parents?

God Bless your parents and their pink cotton doona. I really felt like writing a requiem for your parents, Corey. A requiem! That’s a SAD song.

All that fucking cleaning man! I never use a sad face but I think this time it's perfectly appropriate.

Corey, Mummy and Daddy = ...

Yeah I agree dude, they shouldn't have called you Corey. Since the 80s that name has been synonymous with juvenile delinquency. Are you modeling yourself on Corey Feldman (of "the lost boys" fame)? That’s cool if you are dude everyone needs a role model. But if you are going to go places like your hero, you need to have a little foresight. A little foresight like, maybe if I send this invite to ALL my friends on MySpace I might have too many people to control. Did you think about how you were going to move all these people out of your house when the party was over? In my vast experience, I've noted that if the neighbors know you’re under 18 they will call the cops by 10:30-11pm max. It's standard practice. But in all honesty I don't think you really care.

Corey, I know you don't care man. It's something about our generation. We might have a tang of guilt or we'll be cut that our parents won't let us borrow money be it for juice, alcohol or ecstasy (***wink wink big guy***). The truth is that you love the fact that people are going to recognise you in a crowd and remember you as the guy, without a shirt, who couldn't throw a party for 500 people.

On that: "without a shirt" comment. I'm not completely familiar with the gay community, except that I work with a couple gay men. They really enjoyed your interview and subsequent topless photos on the Internet. Man if delighting the voyeuristic tendencies of gay men is your thing, you really should throw a party and chuck them on your substantial guest list.

God's speed son...

Outta My FACE Crackbook!!!!

January 8th 2008 06:41
I’m sitting at my computer, not moving, just staring. I’ve been here for hours reading the conversations of “my friends”. Most of them are not my real world friends. That is, friends I would see regularly. No, most of the people that spark my attention are people I rarely see. I’m glued to my office chair staring at hundreds of different conversations. Each conversation is remarkably superficial, but at the same time enchanting. The amount of time I have spent in the same spot would make anyone think I had broken my leg and was unable to move. Think James Stewart from Hitchcock’s Rear Window. Such is the power of Facebook, or Crack-book (named so because of its addictive qualities).

LUKE: “DUDE! I just read that article about Hayden, and my eyes skipped down a line to "...killed". WHOA! Almost had an apoplexy, then i realised they were just talking about the dolphins... whew
