I seem to be missing from the list

The annual Business Review Weekly Rich 200 list seems to be missing my name.
Probably something to do with me lacking most of the $180m wealth you need to make the list this year, an increase from $130m last year. In just one year the total wealth of the club has risen from $101.5 […]

Hospital

Hospitals are such exciting places to hang out at, on a par with airports, I think.
I spent a lot of today at the hospital waiting around for, or with my son, who had an operation today. Had to report in at 6.45 this morning, and I’m not a morning person so that had […]

$135,000 for a seat at the PM’s table

Prime Minister John Howard quickly abandoned plans to spend $540k to extend his private dining room at Parliament House, once the estimated cost of the work was revealed at a Senate estimates hearing yesterday.
Amazing coincidence isn’t it that while officials and the PM’s office had been fluffing around with the proposal since at least […]

Payback is a bitch!

The original version of this story was very funny. Later it was updated and the really funny bit doesn’t seem to have actually been the case.
A Californian man tried to kill his girlfriend by leaving her in a car parked across train tracks while a train approached. He then jumped out, […]

Electioneering on the taxpayer’s tab

One of the things opposition parties always bag governments out for is the amount of money wasted on such things as advertising, consultants and travel. Advertising is the big one. And what do oppositions do when they become governments …cut back on the advertising? Of course, not, its snouts in […]

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength: Newspeak is alive and well

Seems that the name “Workchoices” is on the outer, and has been banished from the Federal government’s vocabulary. The Workchoices hotline is now the Workplace Infoline, and telephone operators have been told to change all references from “WorkChoices” to “workplace relations”.
According to Workplace Relations Minister Joe Hockey the reason for the change in […]

Guns are dangerous, even when there isn’t one around

Another entry in the too stupid to be true stakes.
Damion Mosher managed to shoot himself without a gun. He thought it a great idea to put bullets in a vice and hit them with a hammer. His aim … to collect the casings for scrap metal to cash in.

Dickheads and their cars

Had to laugh at this …sucked in dickhead!
A 21 year old learner driver had his $110k Mercedes impounded after being caught doing 164 kmh in a 100 zone in Melbourne last night. This dickhead had already had his learner’s permit suspended for other speeding offences, and obviously doesn’t give a rats arse about […]

Howard thinks its all a bit of a joke

With all the opinion polls continuing to show Labor with a strong lead over the government, despite the government’s attempts to discredit Kevin Rudd, and despite all the budget goodies last week, John Howard quipped tonight that it is possible people surveyed for the latest polls might have been joking when they said they […]
