• Guest Post: Speedbox -Postcard from Kislovodsk #2

    Mrs Speedbox is still in Kislovodsk, Russia, although she returns in a few days.  The following are additional observations that may be of interest to Cats. 1.  With regard to reporting on the war, Russian television is the polar opposite to what we see here in Australia in terms of partiality.  That won’t be a…

  • Moderates versus Airheads. Like versus like?

    Ten little nondescripts trawling for some votes. Nine didn’t make the grade then there was one. My federal electorate is North Sydney, where Trent Zimmerman is the sitting member. Yes, I know, I have your sympathies. There are ten candidates for the seat, including Trent. I have seen Trent twice on the hustings. Once outside…

  • Abortion and the Left’s Lies

    You may recall Hillary Clinton getting into trouble in the run up to the 2016 election in the United States for referring to an unborn baby as, err, well, an unborn baby. A complete no-no for the Dems who need to consider an unborn baby to be a non-human, a fetus, so that it can…

  • WolfmanOz at the Movies #19

    1970s Disaster Movies I’d imagine a fair percentage of Cats would be Baby Boomers and would probably recall the huge popularity in the 1970s with the disaster movies genre. Invariably featuring a large cast of Hollywood stalwarts the plot device was mostly a natural disaster with the focus then on the numerous characters’ attempts to…

  1. ‘Smart’ Meters. I’ve received an email from my electrickery provider stating they would upgrade my ‘trickery meter to a ‘smart’…
