I Drew This

So, it’s out with the old and in with the new. Yes, it’s hard rubbish collection this week and we’ve put our old Prime Minister out on the kerb. I think it’ll be going into landfill before too long. Someone has already picked up Miss L’s old chair: the one with food stains, drink stains, spew stains, wee stains and, because it’s been in the shed for the last year, mould stains. (I’m sure whoever it was will figure out soon enough that you can’t actually take the cushion off to wash it.)

Nobody has picked up the old PM though. It’s stinky. And about as useful as all those 15″ CRT monitors lying all over the place. Actually, they could be useful: plug a STB into them and you have a small TV. Good for the bedroom.

The thing that slightly disturbs me is the number of Liberal politicians coming out of the woodwork saying Workchoices was too tough. Where were they when they were supposedly representing the best interests of the people in their electorate/country?

I get a sick feeling the more I think about how this country was run on the ideologies of one very smug, xenophobic, culturally bankrupt man. So the economy was strong. But who wants to live in a fucking economy? What happened to society? Community? I don’t think we’d be seeing pigs’ heads on stakes if someone a bit more enlightened and tolerant had been running the country for the last decade. Ditto the Cronulla riots.
