As ill advised as it may have been for me, I watched Four Corners last evening.

It's undoubted logic that Labor would always have preferred, nay, pre-determined to follow it's own path on the information superhighway.

An absolutely excellent review and summation of Robert Manne's book "Dear Mr Rudd", byGeorge Megalogenis

Latest from the journal Science on the progression of human colonisation of the Americas. Seems they didn't think much of it either.

When I spot someone I know at a function which I'd really rather not be at, I usually acknowledge them with a one finger to the eyebrow salute.

There's quite a few things which could be said about this.

Arguably the screen world's greatest ever character actor, has died. A mountain of a man in screen terms, Charlton Heston will always be, to me, Judah Ben Hur.

He'll be remembered for many roles. Many great and powerful dramatics. Moses, John the Baptist, Rodrigo Diaz, Michelagelo and General Charles Gordon. He'll be remembered for great lines and big portrayals, but sadly, he'll probably be remembered best for his proclamation regarding the right to bear firearms in the United States, as President of the National Rifle Association.

If you're a Battlestar Galactica Fan - and frankly, if you call yourself a Sci-Fi fan but you don't follow BSG, then baby, you ain't no Sci-Fi fan - like me you'll be overjoyed to know that Episode One of Season Four aired on SciFi_dot_com Friday last.

For those who choose not to fathom the inconsequentialities of the mind of Gerard Henderson, I'll summarise his latest SMH article.

If I, as a male, find this issue to be as tasteless and unfunny as the blogger in question does, am I, by default, a humourless feminist?

I happened to catch the repeat of last night's LNL while out & about today. One of Phillip's guests was Steven Starr, a member of INESAP The International Network of Engineers and Scientists Against Proliferation. Hell of a title, but a snappy acronym.

Katie Richardson as Miss World Australia

Not my cup o' tea. I'd be more inclined towards Kaela Louisa Scott...

... even if she does have thick ankles.

Misogynistic? Sexist? Innately male? Not at all. I just know what I like in a female body.

I found this on LiveJournal and thought it too good to leave there.

This issue raises the question of just what is and what isn't acceptable to the Australian media - let alone the Australian public - in regard to what a PM's wife does for a career, what her earnings are & where they come from, and essentially, just how well off the PM might be due to his marital share in his wife's profitability.

Was it ever really off? Brendan Nelson must have realised from day one that his tenure would, in all likelihood, be a brief one.

If you've been subject to the demands of Microsoft's latest operating system, Vista, and some of it's little eccentricities, then perhaps you'd like to send Microsoft a message about it's planned obsolescence of Windows XP. As of June 30 this year, Microsoft will be withdrawing XP in all it's versions from reseller shelves, virtually forcing anyone who buys a new computer thereafter to install it's poor younger cousin, Vista.

Visit Galen Gruman's inforworld site to sign the online petition if you'd like to make an impact into this piece of commercial piracy by Microsoft. 111,543 (and counting) former Vista users can't be wrong.

The times they are a-changin'. The world is definitely slowing down if the best international news story coming out of Europe is coverage of the German Chancellor's tits!

Granted, her mammaries don't look altogether unappealing for a 54 year old, at least upon initial presentation, but a look at a few other shots soon reveals that Angela is prone to the ravages of gravity like any other woman her age. Still....good on her for having the dash to dress appropriately for an evening out. Who says women politicians have to be dull, studious types?

If there's one issue which Rudd's 2020 Summit will bring to the fore of the public imagination, it's the Republican issue.

The Hamilton 400 in New Zealand was always going to be a tough ask for the V8 Supercar circus.

Okay, that's Hamilton run & won.

I don't think any different reaction to the Governance stream report from the weekend's 2020 shindig would have been forthcoming from Australia's Monarchist elites, than what was spewed forth today.

Y'know, I'm actually beginning to enjoy reading Gerard Henderson's columns.

Call me an old grumble-bum, but I'd suggest this mindless stunt is the principle reason behind rational people of my vintage steering well clear of FM radio these days.

Give me ABC Radio National any day of the week.....or weekend for that matter.

I heard about this Op-Ed in today's Oz on PM this evening.

I had a read of this piece because of the author's name.

Watching the ANZAC Day services from Gallipoli and Viller-Bretonneux, I couldn't help but be struck by the similarities, and differences between the two.

In a bid to stave off the Sunday arvo blues (don't kid me. Anyone with a nine-to-five they hate going to suffers the Sunday arvo blues), we trotted off to the flicks to see Deception

I'm a Brisbanite, but can't actually say I've paid a whole lot of attention to this seemingly benighted development. Until now.

To my mind, allocating an excise on candied alcoholic drinks is a logical progression. Sure, it's yet another tax boon to the federal government, ought to be something encompassed by the GST, as should all taxes on consumables. However, this article is nothing more than a baseless opportunistic beat-up.
