I’m reminded of the Khmer Rouge’s Pol Pot. One of his village headmen was asked by a starving peasant why…
It also shows how dangerous the courts are. A hangover from feudalism, from 1066.
“It is a warning for those like Pauline Hanson.” The Jew hating Fatso Faruqi is threatening you and me.
What a wonderful country, where even the socialists have expensive property portfolios. Just imagine how the capitalists live.
The poor woman is plain and bereft of taste. You should pity her.
Rabz> Stooges / Iggy getting Loose. To be played as loud as the speakers can stand.
She is not bereft of money. Which would pay for a stylist.
My pity is for the poor. And there it will remain.
I well know that in the ‘one FU and you are dead forever’ world of the Cat, Stoker may not be praised for anything she does.
The job that she is doing on the QLD Government is magisterial. If that praise is offensive, well ……
I can honestly say that since the double knee replacement my knees are a zillion times better, but alas I can’t kneel and I will probably never be able to kneel every again, which is quite annoying because when I’m doing Pilates there are some kneeling positions that I now modify. But I can now bend my knees and do other things, and my knees no longer hurt. For years before the operation, I lived with painful knees. Even walking to the bus stop was painful and unpleasant, and I stopped walking. It was quite distressing. However, since the operation, my scars have healed a certain way. I have a skin condition which I inherited from my father called “keloids”. So, the scars on my knees are now raised and lumpy, like a little mountain range. They hurt when I put pressure on them.
My flexibility has returned but I still cramp up when doing Pilates. Last week I was bending a knee and whilst the knee didn’t hurt, I cramped suddenly, wobbled and then fell into the Pilates reformer machine. I couldn’t get out and it took the instructor and another class attendee to help me get out of the machine. Very embarrassing. It reminded of when, back in the late 90s, when I used to do Astanga yoga (I was an addict) at a studio, and that disgusting pompous arse head David Marr used to also attend the same classes. I remember doing a handstand, then losing my balance and falling, missing Marr by inches. I still regret not falling on him!
Thanks, Callie.
They do seem kind of kooky if you hear nothing except the music, but if you remember the time then the music is perfect.
And it was a time of greater freedom, less politics (they all seem amateurish looking back now) and less offended and victimhood.
Yeah like my beloved Cass ever did anyway, Cats … 🙂
Erk!
Sorry, I did not mean to suggest I really believed it photoshopped, just that the fit was so hideous and enjoyed playing up how improbable her appalling taste was.
It is really creepy, to reflect that Joe and Jill were once merely an adultery and, at one time, good looks (and unfamiliarity) gave them a certain notorious charm. But they are now the old aged vestiges of that. Ugly but bound, denuded of any aesthetic beguilement. Just ancient, faithless old farts. Very loathsome people, both as repulsive as the other.
The greatest coda in human history, Cats
About an item that we all love long time … 🙂
‘orrible?
One of the occasions where the cover matched the content.
AFAIK, the Iggster is still with us, which just shows what a force of nature he is. Outlived almost all of his musical partners, including Bowie. And, not because of clean living.
Just listened to k d lang doing ‘Hallelujia’ again. Oh, my.
Here she is with Roy Orbison Magic.
Note that the bimbo presenter, who presumably was sleeping with someone important, doesn’t have a clue about either of them.
One thing’s for sure, though.
There’s no alluring and dewy portrait hidden in the Biden attic.
Unless Hunter painted over it.
Cassie,
the not being able to kneel is something they don’t tell us before the slice and dice. It has been almost four years since my op and I still can’t kneel. I carry a thick, latex pad when I am outside in case I fall. It lessens the discomfort just enough to be able to haul myself back on my feet. Falling is a bit of problem as my balance is not what it used to be. Don’t know if it will improve. But, I adjust.
It’s not all bad, I can lug wagon loads of wood up to the house for the fire. Thank God for electric splitters! Also, I can still hoik bags of animal feed and groceries in and out of the car, so I reckon I’m travelling pretty well. There are people out there a heck of a lot worse off.
Mother lode
No biggie. It’s good not accepting things at face value. Keeps everyone on their toes.
Thought for a moment you were hinting at a Dorian Gray sort of thing where there is a painting of Biden as vivid and sleek, even with the strokes as moist, as when it was first painted.
Yes, Joh, he is still with us.
With Kate Pierson back in the nineties.
“I’ve had a hole in my heart for so long …”
65 with Adam Driver is the worst moving I’ve seen this year.
Heard it in Coles a few weeks ago. What can you say? Good stuff. The apocalypse must be coming or something. Sometimes Coles has ABBA too.

Democrats do seem to have this weird fetish with depicting their ‘First Ladies’ as glamorous figures of the Jackie Kennedy type.
Melania was deliberately marginalised while the press feted the scowling rookie Michelle Obama, and now the withered plastic Jill Biden.
LOL snap Rabz. Was about to link that.
That song with Kate Pearson was about when I became aware of Iggy Pop.
“Melania was deliberately marginalised while the press feted the scowling rookie Michelle Obama, and now the withered plastic Jill Biden.”
I’ve never forgotten how ungracious that scowling ugly Bitch Obama was on Inauguration Day in 2017, when Melania arrived at the WH looking radiantly beautiful, and remember how she graciously tried to give the scowling Bitch a gift? I’ve never forgotten how ugly, how nasty and how ungracious the Bitch Obama was to Melania.
Konstantin Kisin knows his fashion.
Interviewed by the Anderson, he is wearing a pair of 501s with a brand new pair of navy bleu Gazelles.
When Renton is charging down the street in the first few seconds of Trainspotting, he’s wearing a pair of 501s and gazelles.
When I’m annoying many, many people since forever, there is nothing like wearing a pair of 501s with Gazelles … 🙂
Universal. This has never been about design or some other abstract concept – it is a natural fit. 🙂
Gotta challenge.
AC/DC – Let There Be Rock (1977)
Why was Bon Scott so awesome? I don’t know. Something.
I live in Bumf^ck nowhere and I can safely say all the wives around here would generate more style in their toenail clippings than the good Dr Jill.
Also, what’s wrong with housewives?
Lee, these are people who are lying to us now and committing fraud as they go. This tells me that they wouldn’t think twice to cheat provided that they could get away with it. In other words, they will cheat though I fervently hope it will not be enough to change the outcome.
Yeah dude, what’s wrong with housewives?
Movie.
Not moving.
I don’t see any benefit for this country in whatever way the referendum goes. If the “NO” vote is successful, we’ll have all the 1/16th professional “Indigenous” protesting in the streets, if the “YES” vote is successful, the demands will be for a treaty, reparations, and, yes, pulling down the statues and re – writing the history.
lol
Sacré bleu – did someone mention Hausfraus?
Ridiculously good cover of Let There Be Rock by a band who will remain nameless.
Like that they were having a great time playing it.
Ok, gotta do one of theirs.
Foo Fighters – Learn To Fly (1999)
Arks, as he imagines himself …
It’s not bad, Bruce.
But a KEYBOARD!?
Seriously?
Yup, Stooges not only set the bar, but created the geography for hard rock.
It’s the kind of thing an aspiring Rolling Stone writer might have worked on, before it became competely partisan.
Mind you, RS hated Led Zeppelin, not least because management refused to suck up to them.
Channel surfing and Children of Men is on.
Michael Caine plays a Bill Leak senior type character.
Goil – I met you at JC Penney … 🙂
Ok, since John Farnham has come out for the dark side, I have to counter it.
Ultravox – The Voice (1981)
Would make a very fine No anthem!
Great song, BoN. But Ultravox’s finest work was at Live Aid. Everyone raves about Queen and Freddie, but Midge Ure stole the show with his vocal of Vienna. Superb.

Bushie – Okay a keyboard isn’t on. Steel drum band though?
The Police – Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic (1976)
A cousin who was a rep for a rum company invited me to a knees-up in Kingston, they had a steel drum band. I stood in front of them and soaked it up like sponge. It was seriously good, although I might’ve damaged my hearing.
Yes Zulu, the country is doomed either way.
7 spotlight running an expose on the folly of gender transition
Carolyn’s Fingers …
The ad containing Farnham’s “voice” song.
They’ve blocked comments – almost certainly to avoid being ratioed.
Agree most certainly!
Ultravox and Gary Numan. Seriously good.
Ok I’ll do one no one has ever heard.
The Great Balloon Race – Sky (1985)
Coda:
Sky – Desperate for your Love (1985)
Saw them at the Opera House once.
A kissed out red float boat … 🙂
I think Dutton recognises that there is possibly a majority who would vote for constitutional recognition but not the Voice.
Albo’s people know that too, hence from day 1 they have been trying to conflate the two and insist that if you’re in favour of recognition, this is your only chance.
It’s interesting that Dutton has proposed a second referendum vs just taking it to the next election. Assume either not wanting to piss off those who aren’t in favour of constitutional recognition with a fait accompli and/or as a preemptive counter to criticism that they have promised it before yet did nothing in government.
Agree the idea of a second referendum is going to turn a lot of people off though – especially once the gloves come off in the lead up to and aftermath of the first one.
Zulu I agree on one part.
If the NO vote is successful, there will be gnashing of teeth for all of about 5 minutes.
Yes there will be upset dickheads around the joint, but there won’t be anything like a George Floyd Memorial.
But if the YES vote prevails, then Australia will never recover.
It will not.
Prefer the original with Ms Fraser’s amazing vocals.
Speaking of amazing vocals.
Teardrop (1998)
Also Ms Fraser.
If Aboriginal people are designated as Australian, then we are covered under the Constitution. The End.
My wife has me watching One Night, an Aussie mystery drama series.
A bit of diversity early on and then I predicted the lesbian relationship can’t be far away.
Bingo!
I’m thinking it won’t Rabz because the core constituents, black fellas themselves, can’t really give two flying fornications.
And the ones that do, like Zulu linked earlier with the Tasmanian idiots, they aren’t doing the YES cause any favours.
This. Aboriginal peoples are Ozzies.
I get that this is what he is trying to do.
To go for a simple symbolic acknowledgement without any transfer of power.
No doubt his very clever advisors will be telling him it will be a re-run of the 1998 Republic referendum, with the left vote split on the best republican model.
I think it is a tactical mistake.
If da Voice fails, just say “It’s cooked. Come back in twenty years. In the meantime, let’s stop f-cking around and get some basics done. Kids into school. Proper prevention of DV. Proper booze bans in remote areas. Etcetera, etcetera.”
Sky were great. Love the video of Toccata. The percussionist, Tristan Fry is brilliant.
That’s a ridiculously good track with less than a thousand views. Sheesh.

Ha I was in the UK in the early 80’s when Vienna was released. Held at number 2 week after week, number 1 being the closeout on Top of the Pops. Number 1 was Aussie battler Joe Dolce, with “Shutupaya Face”. Sad for the glitterati.
Aussie battler and former Catallaxy commenter.
Hey!
A day spent in outdoor pursuits.
Returned to find a six pack of frothy delights in the fridge and a massive pizza, courtesy of the son and heir, who started his plumbing apprenticeship a week ago.
Outstanding Father’s Day.
*Also watched Top Gun: Maverick on Focks. Much, much better than anticipated.
**Already had a series of conversations with the abovementioned son and heir about That Guy, who will appear on most sites at some point, and who I may have mentioned about a fortnight ago from my own experience.
He reckons there’s one there already. Lots of mouth, but all the blokes reckon he’s a dickhead.
Absolutely amazing that these blokes go through their entire “career” imagining that people worship the ground they walk on, whilst the reality is they are a laughing stock.
PS. I lied about the God-Emperor air-con guy at the Tokyo Museum.
There is no such deity.
Just people who efficiently go about their tasks with a minimum of fuss.
In fact, I think the Japanese would make great footy umps. Their crowning glory is when everything works and no-one even notices they were there.
Someone mentioned living under a biblical constitution before.
I want to know how it works.
It’s not more of “rocks, trees and people are basically the same” is it?
I’m also being serious and I’m curious to know what they mean.
Blackstone?
Athelstan’s laws?
Equity is rooted in doctrines of a Christian Kingship.
It’s a curious and tantalising throwaway remark to make.
Maybe they just mean Christianity disavows the path of apartheid, however well intentioned?
If they didn’t I’m genuinely perplexed and intrigued.
Titus (the other bloke, not the Emperor’s son who razed Jerusalem in AD70) will assist.
n = 1200
Slightly disappointing. A big poll with bad (strong NO) in every single State would put my mind at ease.
Did anyone here watch tonight’s 7News Spotlight? Was on trans for minors and reportedly quite good.
I think the tide is turning on this, and right across the political spectrum.
Incidentally, Channel Seven have been doing good work of late.
They were the first commercial TV network to break ranks and consider the possibility that a former Canbra staffer might, in fact, be a lying cow.
And Natalie Barr has been hitting some backhand winners down the line against Liars Party talking points. It must be causing a Plibber’s PR flaks to choke on their Samurai cut oats when their daily spin blurb has been torpedoed below the water-line by 7:15 a.m.
the missus did.
interesting choice to air it on Father’s Day, no?
I was thinking this was something Sky should be doing.
Yes, will be interesting to see how it rated and how it is picked up if at all by the media, especially talk radio tomorrow.
The trend now is great for Trump and terrible for Biden. The last NBC/ WSJ poll in 2020 was Biden +10. If the above occurred in the upcoming Presidential, Trump would stomp Biden in the Electoral College.
