Liberty Quote
In the long run even the most despotic governments with all their brutality and cruelty are no match for ideas. Eventually the ideology that has won the support of the majority will prevail and cut the ground from under the tyrants feet. Then the oppressed many will rise in rebellion and overthrow their masters.

This deserves comment:
From Gab,
Agreed. I find it goes passably with blue cheeses – contrasts and mildly compliments the saltiness. That said, I used to be able to get this blueberry and thyme paste from a local deli, and it was magnificent with creamy blue cheese like St Agur. With a ‘Red Riding Hood’ chardonnay – not too stone fruit or citrus, not too much malolactic, and not too much oak.
I did suggest you should go to Woolies last night.
Cheddar and cornichons. Brie and fresh figs. Castello and strawbs. Plus champagne.

Sorry, folks. The Cat was as slow as a wet week, then Ozblogistan totally shat itself. I’ve saved the best, which I’ll post tomorrow with the new edition.
Tom,
I have noticed it as well, Cat is slower than usual today
I like Mike Latham.

Well done Lizzie, pretty good trolling.
We don’t have an outbreak of covid we have an outbreak of stupid. First the toilet paper now the hand sanitiser. You can always wash your hands with soap, people. You don’t need handsanitizer .
Buying yet more would have others miss out. My kids are now catered for, as am I.
The odd thing is that I worry more about their ability to cope with shortages of anything than either myself or my elderly parents. The Depression and living with precarious supply chains and getting used to it makes you very resilient and inventive.
I must stop mother henning them. They’re big and ugly enough to look after themselves.

It’s not smashing two chunks of U235 together, or squishing a chunk of Pu239
which is the tricky bit.
It’s making either gadget small enough, light enough and robust enough to strap on top of a rocket which can reach beyond the next suburb.

From Daily Mail
“As the threat of coronavirus continues to cause fear across Australia, thousands of families are desperately emptying supermarkets of essential goods (pictured, bottom right, in Sydney). For thousands of Chinese supermarkets, there is no fears of running out of essentials during a coronavirus outbreak – as they are piled high with popular Australian products (left). The ‘daigou’ stores sell everything from sought-after baby formula to Ugg boots and locally-sourced honey – with some stores shipping 200 boxes to China every day (top right).”
If these Chinese stores exist mainly to ship to China then suppliers of goods in short supply should consider not supplying for a while.
Australia is a cheap whore on its back as it’s Chinese pimp uses it at will.
And just how do I do that after touching the bathroom door that 100 or so dirty bastards who just micturate or defacate & walkout without cleaning themselves? Or after using the grab rail on the bus, that 100 or so people have touched before me? Or in my classroom after touching students keyboards (honestly keyboards are dirtier than toilets – google it) ?
But look at the incomes we have got for the last 15 years!
And no irritating manufacturing unions any more!
talk about laugh out loud
Good moaning.
Hands up if you have been killed by coronavirus?
Plenty of bog roll in areas not full of ch I n ks and assorted third world trash.
No bog roll in your “multicultural wonderland” of Sco Mo’s push to turn cities into overpopulated third world hovels to magically fix the economy. ……….now needing stimulus apparently. ..go for a drive to an area where you can still see a blonde head of hair, and you’ll find bog roll to your freckle’s content.

No virus is half a millimetre in diameter. That would be easily visible to the naked eye.
At 400-500 nm the virus would be easily suspended in the air for days, at least until oxygen, dehydration or sunlight denatures it.
I too demur at the idea of violence.
Their homes should be walled up, a nerve agent introduced through the aircon, and water pumped until they drown – surely that is not violence. Certainly no shooting, stabbing, kicking, biting, beard-pulling etc.
Very calm. Very quiet. Very sedate. And very satisfying.

What sort of a vehicle is this?
Struth, Transport for NSW jobs have a preamble that Sydney is expecting a population of 12 million by 2050.
That’s not a typo. TWELVE million people in Sydney. By 2050. With no easterly, southerly or northerly expansion available, with most of the west and southwest built up already, that means high rises on every block of land in Sydney, with the exception of where Lucy Turnbull lives.
Our parliament is full of cretins.
The squirrels are not pedaling fast enough today that’s for sure.
This site is slow as.
lol, Struth.
Catallaxy is still loading slowly.
I expect there is a lot of traffic here from people wanting the latest on the bog roll crisis.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison needs to address the nation’s bog roll anxiety.
He has; says he’s spoken to Colesworths & they’ve assured him re the supply chain’s resilience.
So don’t panic buy. Resume normal service.

It’s interesting witnessing the transformation of those from patronizingly dismissive to central characters in the crisis. 😎

You really have to go west of the Great Divide or north of Hervey Bay to find the remnants of old Australia.

Everyone Knows This.
lol. Grigs is all discombobulated about my photo. Why on earth should it not be me? That is definitely me at sixteen in that photo Grigs, and anyone who knows me will confirm I haven’t even now got a particularly long nose for a 77 year old, nor a cleft chin and never have had such features. It’s all in Grig’s fevered imagination and the nature of the photo angle in a photo booth. Looking down, I’ve always looked different, more heart shaped in the face and longer in the nose, whereas front on I have always had a rather oval shaped face, slight upturned nose, prominent forehead and high cheekbones (just like Pocahontas, lol). I’ve certainly never had a nose job, nor any need to want to change my chin, both of which have luckily always been normal. Same as my teeth, which have always been small and neat but which, with age, have added the usual millimeter or two in length – hence ‘long in the tooth’ is the term for both horses and people. Nasty Nigel here (not his real Cat name) said I looked ‘buck-toothed’ in my recent pic from a cruise 18 months ago. The very nerve of him! My dentist doesn’t think so.
Wonderful to see how completely obsessed these Cat gentlemens are with pulling me down. Makes me want to do a continual picture gallery just to keep them busy. :).
One from your bikini modelling days please Lizzie.
A few Questions.
Australia , of course is a laughing stock on the global scene.
What do you think are the main reasons?
We brag about being multicultural?
We destroy our industry and power , jobs and wealth so that we can hold our heads high claiming to be the only ones committed to our promise to global socialists our government signed us up to, without permission?
We trade with one commo dictatorship almost exclusively?
We invented peak virtue signalling hypocrisy…earth hour and such?
Our workforce dresses in the same government decreed colours and will not stand in an open paddock without a hard hat and safety glasses
We believe excessive arse wiping cures coronavir-arse?
or
all of the above?
Coupla’ things:
Old-mate Cormann:
Who the Hell is advising this bloke? Albo’s cousins? Turncoat?
Definitely not in the Malinois class, for starters. Belgium: top dogs, a couple of good beers and world-class small-arms; the rest?
As for: ““The minister continued: “I think that … that the white colour, in my mind, reflects a bit of a colonial past that we’ve moved on from”.”…..A transplanted Belgian lecturing about “colonialism?………RIGHT!!!
Then, someone usefully noted: “I think Cormann is a symbol……..” …………..cymbal, GONG; whatever…
Old Menzies will be spinning in his grave; oh, hang on, some bozo will suggest Sir Bob as a renewable power resource………….
And, on a slightly different tack:
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard
Righto, then!!
Energy Minister Sparkes, Primary Industries Minister Farmer (or Flood). Mines Minister Pitt……….(or Shaft)……..Sports Minister Gamble…….
Good morning all.
I see many people will soon be incarcerated for purchasing toilet paper for more than 10k cash.
I noted upthread about the coronavirus and the potential to really fuck remote Aboriginal communities over. I am guessing this would be correct, I imagine that immune systems of blacks would be less resilient than those that reside in cities. Of course, there is but one cure, other people’s money. Waiting for the Dodson’s, the Burney’s et al to get the ball rolling.
There have been runs on toilet paper in other countries, a friend in Japan said there was one in his city a week or so ago.
I just googled and here it is:
For those who don’t realise from a comment I made in the dead of last night, the white spots on my left side forehead, temple, cheekbone and chin are shine shadowing all due to the flash lighting in the photo booth.
They weren’t very sophisticated machines in 1959. But it was the best I could do for Miss Daly Watkins in a roomful of girls (and their mothers) in high fashion gear all clutching expensive photographic portfolios. I did later get some photographic modelling work, as I was well-proportioned although only 5ft4inches. Not tall enough for the DW catwalk but good enough for Paula Stafford bikini’s on Queensland’s Gold Coast a year later.
Such is life, my dear friends, such is life.
If I’d met you then Lizzie, ………………………………..cooooooorrrrrrrrr!
What a stunner.
Alas, I wasn’t born then.
Would you have been high maintenance then?
Nah. You don’t need any help.
Doing an excellent job yourself.
Shelves empty of toilet paper are the most obvious signs of panic buying and there is a reason for that. As has often been noted , human needs are many and insatiable, so shelves of many goods will be subject to discriminatory purchase and differential panics, but when it comes to the aperture in the nether regions, absolutely everyone has one.
Oh, I don’t think so, Rambler. That takes far more nastiness than I could ever muster.
So all Asian counties, like Austlaria?
Hanson was right, and it’s happened.
A few Questions.
Australia , of course is a laughing stock on the global scene.
Let them laugh, they’ll all be coughing soon enough.
Then they will run out of toilet paper.
Smart investors should be buying big on Buckets.
Buckets are the next Big Thing, for when there is no toilet paper, Indian Hygiene is king.
You can also use Buckets upside down with eyeholes cut out covered in Gladwrap as Coronavirus Protective Masks.
Shelves empty of toilet paper are the most obvious signs of panic buying and there is a reason for that.
Yes.
It’s called Women.
So 200kg of 90% enriched uranium is within reach of a collection of lunatic mullahs who believe ending the world will bring the 12th Imam onto the stage.

It’s making either gadget small enough, light enough and robust enough to strap on top of a rocket which can reach beyond the next suburb.
And a period at the top of the trajectory at close to absolute zero, followed by the heat and g forces of re-entry.
Yep. But not many Asians up here. So I suspect the bogroll run was people like me getting some for their children in Sydneystan.
Or…they crept in at dead of night and stole-by-buying. You’d have yo ask someone else though. I was home minding my own business.
Here’s how to tell if you have the coronavirus — and when to see a doctor
Fair enough. Staying away from ‘health’ facilities sounds like an excellent plan for the time being.
Because if you weren’t sick before you visited you’ll likely be sick after.
Does anyone in the US, in the world, really believe that Donald Trump is the most dangerous US president in history? Just so pathetically laughable!
Now Australian culture has been virtually outlawed, miss it much?
lol, again, Struth. I did all my own maintenance then. Job, rent, food, hair, clothes, health.
One thing I knew. I wanted something better out of life than was on offer in Sydney’s west for a girl with no secure parental background, no education and no training for anything except typing. Perhaps that made me high maintenance in other ways. Still, men mostly liked me, and one I fended off wanted to marry me on my sixteenth birthday. Dodged a bullet there, and quite a few others later, when I started to meet what Johanna has called ‘high quality men’, some of them wealthy and all of them wanting to change me; but those are tales for another day, not here. 🙂
If the numbers of new cases in China is slowing and falling, then the whole thing might peter out in Australia over a couple of months or so without very many deaths although still careful watching and procedures.
Apparently the numbers of new cases in China are dropping but can you believe it, but if so that would be very good news?
And just when you thought yesterday’s news was busy being fishwrap, up pops the attention deprived Climate Teen.
Many years ago, you could look down from your truck in Sodomy or Melbournistan and never see a blonde head of hair.
It was not, and still is not that bad in London, where white people are by far the majority, yet we have the audacity to laugh at their predicament?

Scientists identify second virus strain
This is what can happen without a massive increase in personal bog roll ownership.
Yes it would, Candy. With the forewarning we have had we may yet get this thing under control fairly quickly. Can’t say I’m too optimistic, but there are many reasons why it may not hit Australia as badly as in China, or even Italy. Toning down the hysteria would be a good start.

Far too early yet to know if a second virus strain is the currently active one, Mitch, or more virulent.
The report is covered in all of the necessary qualifications. The viral ‘cloud’ is always active, that’s all we can be sure of at this stage.
Buttered Weetbix. One of the sustaining delights of my childhood.
Any kid could make it, especially if the butter had been left out of the icebox.
Sometimes even if it had not. Those old iceboxes weren’t very cold. 🙂
They will be doing all they can to make sure he is exposed to the virus. One woman’s already threatened to do that at his rallies. Vicious thuggish lefties.
Sleepy Joe could be a good candidate for an opportunistic virus though. Dementia will attract them.
Best advice would be for all the Vice Presidents and VP candidates and all other candidates to be people under forty-five. Us oldies may have had our day.
Oz is reporting that school closures in Oz are under consideration….
Awww, Struth. It’s hard for a good man to go free.
Mrs Struth is a lucky woman.
Not every woman gets her own personal songster. 🙂
Jeez, I hate stories like this.
Man goes to Bali.
Takes out travel insurance.
Insurance states that he is only covered for powered bikes up to 50cc (Postie scooters).
Insurance application asks “Do you wish to take extra cover for motorcycles, motor scooters and quadbikes?”
He ticks “No.”
He hires a 125cc bike.
Predictably he prangs it.
Racks up $35k in hospital bills.
Insurance company says (correctly) he is not covered.
Insurance company bad.
Nine MSN delivers the gotcha … “None of the hire companies in Bali rents bikes under 50cc”.
So, yeah.
He just had to have a bike, so insurance company should waive their policy conditions.
The alternative of him saying “No, I won’t take the risk” wasn’t an option apparently.
I remember a few of those simple sounding challenges from my youth, involving eating a relatively small number of Weetbix or Salada biscuits without drinking any liquid.
A mouthful of gluey concrete slurry in short order.
Awful to laugh, but this is a terrible typo/auto-correct in the Oz re the Aged Care system:
Jeez, NAB dodged a bullet there.
Not sure if he was a serious contender, or whether it was just his PR agent pumping up his tyres, but there were reports he was in the mix for the CEO’s job.
Warringah you say?

How about this one guys.

Greta wants to lead a school ‘climate strike’.
Sorry, dearie. The government of Italy has got in before you on that.
I saw that too. But on the telly. Not a big story, not much interest. Her celebrity has fallen as quickly as it rose.
The main thing was that her handlers and AGW movement only wanted her while there was a prospect of her embarrassing Trump. That didn’t pan out – she tried using her scowling superpowers but the Greta rays passed right around him.
Greta’s currency has been well and truly spent.
Uganda: Cross-Dressing Con Artist Jailed After Duping Imam into Marriage

Stephen Hagan of persistence
1. the refusal of legal aid by both the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department and ATSIC; the rejection of his application to the Federal Court; the unsuccessful appeal to the Full Court; and the unsuccessful application for special leave to appeal to the High Court.
2. The next step was Hagan’s submission to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Here the issue was not whether the sign breached Australian law but whether Australia was in breach of its international obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.
3.That is not the end of the story. The Toowoomba Sports Ground Trust has instituted bankruptcy proceedings against Hagan to recover its costs. In response, Hagan is contending that, in light of Australian accession to the Optional Protocol to the Racial Discrimination Convention, the Racial Discrimination Committee is now in substance incorporated into Australia’s legal system and that as a consequence of the Committee’s finding that the sign should be removed, Hagan was ultimately successful and enforcement of the costs order constitutes an abuse of process. That is a story for another day.

In the absence of DNA testing (says Langton), there are many economic models to choose from. Fake art also has form in the fake department.

The mismatch between the purported age of a painting and the true age of its ingredients is the workhorse of Martin’s technique. So forgers have grown more rigorous in their harvesting of materials…..

2. The next step was Hagan’s submission to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Here the issue was not whether the sign breached Australian law but whether Australia was in breach of its international obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.
3.That is not the end of the story. The Toowoomba Sports Ground Trust has instituted bankruptcy proceedings against Hagan to recover its costs. In response, Hagan is contending that, in light of Australian accession to the Optional Protocol to the Racial Discrimination Convention, the Racial Discrimination Committee is now in substance incorporated into Australia’s legal system and that as a consequence of the Committee’s finding that the sign should be removed, Hagan was ultimately successful and enforcement of the costs order constitutes an abuse of process. That is a story for another day.

Like criminals of every stripe, modern forgers have kept easy pace with the techniques that attempt to trap them. The mismatch between the purported age of a painting and the true age of its ingredients is the workhorse of Martin’s technique.

Old people’s homes. Cruise ships. Schools. Churches. Footy clubs.
Each little cluster and associated deaths is going to contribute to a rising public response that will be counter to the state’s wishes that you: Phase one carry on as normal, then, phase two, contain as per their instructions, then, phase three, respond to their desperate pleas to get back to work and consume as economic activity collapses and puts their hold on wealth and power at risk.
As it plays out in real time, this will be the final nail in the coffin of any delusion that our betters here are any different to the ruling class in China.

Btw the Murray River is inside the border of NSW.
(Wikipedia) ‘The Murray River makes up most of the border between the Australian states of Victoria and New South Wales. Where it does, the border is the top of the bank of the Victorian side of the river (i.e., none of the river itself is actually in Victoria). This was determined in a 1980 ruling by the High Court of Australia, which settled the question as to which state had jurisdiction in the unlawful death of a man who was fishing by the river’s edge on the Victorian side of the river.’

Honestly what’s a few thousand deaths of Australians compared to upsetting our major “trading partner” and political donator and owner of Australia.
A month ago when looking at the way the coronavirus was spreading, the ratios between deaths and cases, the perplexing lag in detection in countries outside China, I wondered if it wasn’t a single infection, but an interaction between two infections. I put that aside because it didn’t make sense either.
Now there seems there might be two types of the virus.
An S type and and L type.
..
Is this bloke quite certain?
Daughter decided to join the toilet roll derby. She first went to Woolies at Hawker. All gawn,so to woolies at Kippax,all gawn, so Aldis at Kippax. Parked in the rain she sees a woman coming out with two trolleys loaded to the brim with TP. Raining heavily and little woman battling trolleys which want to go their own way,finally makes it to her small car. Raining,lets go of one trolley,it takes off,she grabs it whilst restraining other trolley with her outstretched foot.Fumbles for keys,raining, opens car,trolley takes off again,rinse ,repeat bigly. Finally unloads one trolley,lets that bastard go,starts to unload other trolley, car full, yells ,gives karate kick to TP. Lets the other trolley go,somehow gets into car,has to open window, ’cause car full, drives off into rain with head out window. Grandson returns to car with a 40 pack of TP to find his mum laughing uncontrollably. Who said Canberra was dull?
Now there seems there might be two types of the virus.
As with Spanish Flu; the second strain was much deadlier than the first and took out otherwise healthy young adults in the range of 20-40 years.
A couple of weeks ago I estimated that the Case Fatality Rate was 4.7%. Using the same factor of 15% to convert serious cases to fatalities it now seems to be 4.4%.
Too early to tell but it could end up being close to 4%.
The political class are loving this, as I would argue they caused it.
They most likely can be even blamed for the Chinese having the virus and studying it in the first place by letting them grow though corrupt UN compliance and now they can blame their own socialist destruction on our economy on a bad flu virus.
They can grab more power.
It may topple Trump if they get their propaganda into full swing.
Their “anything but white and western” immigration policies that are overcrowding cities with third world shit cultures has Aussies fighting to wipe their arses.
For millions of deaths and a world economic depression for revolutionary socialists is what gives them little woodies, happy times for socialists!

We are by far, the dumbest nation on earth.

FMD how embarrassasasasing.
Australia is up to 52 cases?
That seems to be quite a jump.
A lot will ride on how the strains interact.
Does the S type confer immunity to the L type?
Or does a subsequent L infection end up worse if you already had a dose of S?

Stephen Hagan upset over ‘fakes ‘
The presiding judge likened Hagan’s objection to ‘Nigger’ to a pink person being offended by a pink truck with ‘Pinky’s Cement Mixer’ written on the side; an analogy which demeaned and trivialised a serious complaint about what is possibly the most racially offensive term in the English language. To rub salt in the wounds, the Courts rejected the argument that this was public interest litigation and awarded costs against Hagan at all stages.
And so……….
Previously demonstrated persistence, so this issue may well be resolved by him and not the usual others who utilise gagging.
1. the tale begins with his complaint to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission and talks of the unwillingness of the Toowoomba Sports Ground Trust to participate in the Commission’s face-to-face conciliation process. Hagan notes the Brisbane solicitor who agreed to take on his Federal Court application on a pro bono basis; the refusal of legal aid by both the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department and ATSIC; the rejection of his application to the Federal Court; the unsuccessful appeal to the Full Court; and the unsuccessful application for special leave to appeal to the High Court. ……………..
2. The next step was Hagan’s submission to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination …………………
3. That is not the end of the story. The Toowoomba Sports Ground Trust has instituted bankruptcy proceedings against Hagan to recover its costs. In response, Hagan is contending that, in light of Australian accession to the Optional Protocol to the Racial Discrimination Convention, the Racial Discrimination Committee is now in substance incorporated into Australia’s legal system and that as a consequence of the Committee’s finding that the sign should be removed, Hagan was ultimately successful and enforcement of the costs order constitutes an abuse of process. ……………….

The definition of indigenous is naturally existing in a place or country rather than arriving from another place. The 42nd nations do not satisfy this definition; they came from Ceylon ~ 15000bya and displaced 2 sets of people who had come here before them.
This fact alone should be enough to contradict all claims and benefits for the 65th nations. Except that the definition of aboriginality is now that group of persons in the modern Australian population who are descended from the inhabitants of Australia immediately prior to European settlement. Of the 3 criteria, biological connection, self identification and community acceptance, biology is the crucial one although even with that there are qualifications given prior racism, consequent disguise of aboriginality to avoid prejudice and loss of records.

Oh God
That “Spanish Flu” back in the early-ish 20th Century actually killed more people in Europe AND around the world than the meat-grinder of the Western front. My maternal Grandfather only barely survived his khaki-clad “European adventure tour”; between gas, bullets, artillery and the daily living surrounded by death and disease at the “pointy end”. What took him off to “recuperate” in England was the cumulative result of four years of a very poor “lifestyle”.
Appearing right at the end of that war, the “Spanish Flu” struck millions of people who were stressed, malnourished, stricken by injuries and sundry other more mundane ailments, like polio, Tuberculosis, Whooping Cough, measles, Mumps, Rubella, etc.. You know; the sorts of things that would slaughter and cripple millions more before functional antibiotics and things like the Salk vaccine and other inoculations started to be widely used in the 1930’s.

The reason why China is touting the two strains of virus theory is to claim that one of them did not originate in China. I’m not saying that the second strain is non-existent, but its purpose going forward will be to try to pretend foreigners are equally to blame for this.

So Bloomberg stepped in to act as a lender. Through him millions and billions will flow.
I called it early – Trump will roll out our man, Corn Pops, granddaughters in MAGA hats at the second “Presidential Debate”
Can you even imagine Joe going toe2toe with 45 in front of millions?
Lol
Hillary was a pro, her debate performances were decent.
The god Emperor blew her away.
I almost feel sorry for the poor bastard, to be honest.
So Bloomberg stepped in to act as a lender. Through him millions and billions will flow.
I dare say it’s a plausible hypothesis, twostix.
Hillary officially went to Epstein Island 6 times.
She digs the teens there, no doubt.
Hi Andrew!
Can you imagine the horror some young boy went through, having to much on Hillary’s rug?
This is the tip of the iceberg.
Arky, it’s not the zombie apocalypse virus.
It’s already mutating and getting weaker.
As per, logic.
No doubt, but where did I do that. No matter challenge accepted.
STFU head prefect, but as a concession to your confused sexuality here’s John Wayne semi nude:

And Cary Grant similarly unclad:

Both have much better torsos then head prefect so hopefully he will be inspired to get off his arse and lose a few dozen kilos.
Bern, no boys on Epstein Island, mate.
Gotta Keep Em Seperated
Heeyyyyy,heeyyyyy!
Don’t pay no Mind.
H/t the Offspring
Rumour has it that Hillary is a girl’s girl. I’ll see if I can dig up a few photos.
I haven’t seen the Democrats rip off someone like they have Bloomberg since they filleted Stringer Bell from Baltimore.
Geez.
Munch.
Not much.
Geez.

Not much.
The Herald Sun this morning: In the state’s north, Albury has recorded the state’s highest rainfall at 76.6mm since 9am yesterday.
Me posting a comment at 8ish: As a proud New South Welshman, could I say “Hands off our town”
Albury is north of the Murray river which is a natural border between Victoria and us.
Albury is in NSW.
Talk about all the rain you like in Wodonga, but keep Albury in its correct State please.
Now: comment rejected. BUT the article has been re-written and the offending geographical howler has been punted.
Mate, every time you do you that it reminds me of that chick flick. Please stop.
Heard a news report on the hour over the airwaves. Apparently the Bureau of Meteorology buggered up according to the spokesman of that institution. Flannerys for Melbourne wasn’t accurate with a month’s worth of rain falling in 24 hours. Yet these fuckwits claim to know precisely how much the temperature will rise over the next century. What a time to be alive.
Stringer?
Dude had Game, yo!
I’m gonna pour out a 40 for his black ass right now.
Clay still got him good tho
🤣🤣
If anyone wants to know what Obama style corrupt community activist model looks like on many Amerikan cities, watch The Wire for it all laid bare.
Corruption? Oh Lawd
Tailgunner, never feel sorry for the demise of Biden. Or any Democrat.
Tailgunner, could you put a translation in brackets after your posts?
(Asking for a Boomer friend).
I felt sorry for Stringer at the end.
Having the DNC vacuum attached to his wallet…
Barksdale was right saying those councilmen were more crooked than any dealer.
Sheeeit, Stringer got,GOT in the end,yo.
NYC preacher hitter, and my man, Omar, grabbin the jump on him.
He went down like a man though.
Respect
Brother gots to get paid !
Old School, all I’ll say is give The Wire a go, if you wanna hang in the hood of West Baltimore.
Possibly Amerikas most violent neighbourhood.
Then you’ll start to get the dialect.
😎
It grows on you, yo 😃
Two of the biggest shows in the last 20 years.
The Wire (DNC corruption in Baltimore).
House of Cards (DNC corruption in Washington).
Yet they lap that shit up.
What gives?
They’ve got the photos?
Stringer: No doubt, no doubt.
Omar Little, one of the best characters I’ve ever seen fleshed out. Props to the actor that played.
Googling now…
Actually, nah nah, I don’t want to know.
Dude will always be Omar to me.
Well played, Player.
Stringer Bell corporate training.
No doubt, no doubt.
