    Hot Bit of Tail?

    (Definition of ‘Hot’ is rubbery, and often directly proportional to the degree of one’s internal ethanol or other intoxicant concentrations…)

    Peoples, if you’re fed up with the mediocrities that you are expected to vote for, then please have a look at this link.

    Put the Major Parties last

    This message has nothing to do with the Faulty’s previous monomaniacal political obsessions.

    It’s about the only sensible course of action left to Ozzie voters.

    yep.

    except both Animal Justice and The Greens are getting suffocated by being last

    one of the Animal justice loons lives two doors up from me
    she tried for a State gig and failed
    then tried for council gig and failed.

    crazy mole
    nothing screams animal justice louder than rabbits in a cage on yr front lawn

    How many of the locked-down Chinese proles are “vaccinated”?
    Quick googling reckons above 85% “fully”.

    I haven’t come across it before. The physiology is interesting, something I’d like to follow up. I don’t think it will benefit most people but for the advanced types it might be worth exploring. Also for injury recovery.

    Another classic case of white supremacy.

    LaDonia Boggs, 39, was found unresponsive by police in the doorway of her DC apartment around 3am on Wednesday with ‘an apparent stab wound.’ Carl Jones, 44, who shares a child with Boggs, reportedly stabbed her during a ‘domestic dispute,’ authorities reported. She was awaiting trial in November for allegedly killing the pair’s son Kyon Jones after accidentally rolling on top of him while high on angel dust. After discovering her son was dead, she allegedly wrapped him in a blanket and threw him in the trash. She was originally charged with murder and evidence tampering, but the murder charge was dropped after authorities were unable to locate the body.

    Couldn’t give a soup dwelling rodent’s backside, Wally.

    Put the majors last

    I can’t in all good consciousness do this, Cats. I live in a red ribbon labore seat. If I put the labore imbecile last and the greenfilth second last, with the gliberal third last, I still end up voting either labore or gliberal.

    This regrettable heavy handedness will result in a meat and two veg rendering on the lower house ballot paper, with a legitimate vote in the senate – for six candidates only.

    The ALPEC has still refused to post the correct advice on how to vote in the senate.

    i.e. You must vote for twelve senate candidates in a feral double dissolution election*, but you only need to vote for six in any other feral election. Which would be this one (like 2019).

    *If you exist in a territory, you only need to vote for two, regardless of the dissolutionness.

    For those whose Coof came in as a low two, good luck to you.
    Mine sat me squarely on my skinny tail and hurt more than a little.
    I guess because of my circumstances of being dependant upon strangers it was a little depressing as well.
    Suddenly in the night, I awoke without the headache, breathing easy and the beginnings of an appetite. It is so good, it is scary.
    Still weak and puffy but the bastard is on the run. It tested as Covid but it actually felt like a severe flu.

    Woke up this morning with a very sore throat, which had a runny nose added to it from about 10:00am.

    Classic head cold. Picked up no doubt on Tuesday night while alternating between being drenched while marching many kms to a humid venue packed with thousands of people and then marching back to the place originally left.

    Hopefully killed stone dead this evening following the consumption of many alcoholic beverages. 🙂

    I’ve just ordered some cigars for a friend in the US who is still recovering from the Chinese plague. As I explained to her, cigars are healthy: organic, vegan and herbal. If I’d sent them six months ago, she’d never have caught it.

    Dr Beaugs- good to see you lurking.
    …straight to spacechooking- how the hell can I buy cigars economically in Oz?
    And when I say “economically”, I mean illegally sidestepping the horrific tax slug which seems to fall mid-Pacific. Lotsa U.S. suppliers promise lots, but get lost.

    It looks like the coof has run through town here. Every second household has had one or more kids – but hardly ever more than one grown-up- spend a half-day shut in the bedroom, and one mate from Perf who was weekending here has “had the squirts” and hit a positive test.
    Seriously though- if it weren’t for them tests, how would you ever know it’s the batflu?
    All symptoms described to me are indistinguishable from the common cold or flu. Even had to point out to a chef- who as a profession are a bit dim- that he blows his nose and loses his sense of smell in May every year, and then in November with pollen.

    Rabz… yeah I know, but I have a bit of sympathy for the pangolitarians. But that would be a good question to pitch to an ambassador.
    Speaking of short music shows- I quite love the early gigs where a band has but one EP and one LP to their name, and no desire to lecture between melodies. You get a round hour of solid musical ideas, and none of the browbeating or worthy cover versions of songs by their dear friend and amazing artist mates. Everyone raves about Springsteen playing three hour shows, but let’s face it, a hundred minutes of that is just spoken word.

    ABCcess has an epidemiologist basically asking “Are we prepared for people over 50 to die in very small numbers”….

    Are we at a point where Australians tolerate people dying from COVID-19?

    We seem to be at the point in this pandemic where people die every day from COVID-19 … and we’re OK with that.

    Just last week, on average, 39 Australians died each day after catching the virus.

    Compare that to the start of the pandemic when we were aghast at the thought of a single case, let alone a death.

    The change is troubling to veteran epidemiologist Professor Mike Toole.

    “We seem to have closed our eyes to the suffering and the deaths that are still occurring due to Omicron, so I think it’s bordering on irresponsible,” Professor Toole said.

    It is not surprising that a medical professional who has dedicated a 50-year career to saving lives believes one death is one too many, but it doesn’t appear to be the way everyone thinks.

    Such as the statistics..
    https://www.health.gov.au/health-alerts/covid-19/case-numbers-and-statistics#cases-and-deaths-by-age-and-sex

    The ABCcess report goes on to quote the scriptures and the prophet.
    This is despite mask-wearing being one of the most effective ways of containing super-spreader events, according to epidemiologists like Saskia Popescu, who looked at the dropping of the mandate in despair.

    You’re likely seeing a lot of “ffs” from public health folks at the news that TSA is dropping mask mandates on airplanes, trains, and public transportation. Here are some thoughts (while screaming into the void):
    (1/n)

    The US President’s chief medical adviser, Antony Fauci, said it was a decision a judge did not have the medical experience to make.

    Abc discovers breaking news old people die more than young people.
    The impact has been disproportionately felt by older people.
    The federal health department has broken down the number of deaths in Australia by age group and it shows almost 83 per cent were aged 70 years or older.

    ABC bemused why people who were deliberately lied to about the “stop the transmission/not carry covid/not get covid arent excited by more liars products. Products so good every state territory’s and the feds are cowering behind emergency legislation to make as mandatory as possible”
    Remember last year when we so intently watched as the double-dose vaccination rate inched higher toward a particular target or milestone?

    While over 95 per cent of people age over 16 have had two doses, only 70 per cent of the eligible population have had a booster shot.

    You don’t see social media lit up with people showing off getting their boosters like they did when first and second doses were made available.
