I have to relate something which really revolted me at the time, and has played on my mind ever since.

Maybe my warped sense of humour is driving this one. The estranged wife of Bob Jane allegedly waved a knife at the tyre magnate and told him she was going to shoot him…..

That fawning acolyte of John Winston Howard, Tony Abbott, has again suborned the pages of the ABC Online to ooze lyrical about what a great guy his messiah is and how said messiah having his ego massaged by a failed US president is a compliment to Australia. “If Barack Obama were one day to give Kevin Rudd the Medal of Freedom, I’d be pleased for him and for Australia.

I doubt I’m the only blogger in Oz to have spotted this, especially at 5:00pm, but I notice that the Fairfax determination for business as usual during a journalists strike isn’t quite holding up. Most of the online frontpage articles are dated May 28, 2008. I guess it’s business as usual if you’re temporally challenged.
