Charlie Manson is dead. Fetch me a bin liner. I could make that funeral quick and inexpensive I assure you.
In the wake of Manson’s long overdue demise there were a great many catastrophically bad opinions expressed.
Chuck Woolery, a former television host and Hollywood conservative does a podcast (doesn’t everyone these days?) with fellow weirdo, Mark Young. It sounds as many podcasts do, as if two drunk men are sitting in a garage with a cheap microphone trying to outdo each other with increasingly stupid takes.
Woolery thinks Manson was an early supporter of the antifa (anti-fascist movement) and further that had Charlie been allowed to vote, he would have scratched a swastika in the box alongside Bernie Saunders’ name. By Woolery’s logic Jeffrey Dahmer would be a Reaganite, preferring to opt out of the expensive food stamp welfare program and make his own sandwiches.
Sadly it got a lot worse. On the other side of the political aisle, there were some appalling attempts to evoke sympathy for the man who facilitated and urged his followers to commit the most appalling deeds known as the Tate-Labianca murders in Los Angeles in 1969.
Full column here.
Amidst the gloom of Politics, Scandal etc comes the heart warming news, Mr Insider, that Prince Harry is now engaged to Meghan Markle with an intended wedding in the UK Spring of 2018. Even the old “Crustacean”, Mr Baptiste, most likely has a tear in his eye re this news.

A California girl? The hangers-on will be aghast!
Good Lord Henry. Lovely as she is, the woman is an actress! And a commoner to boot (and they should be).
Actually come to think of it so is the boy!
Surely the palace matchmakers could have dug up some cross eyed , lumpen jawed, pork chopped Kraut Princess to introduce some Royal blood into that line?
They’ve been ignoring my suggestions, strangely enough.
Who cares? Noses in the trough! Everytime they visit here it costs us millions!
Don’t be so grumpy Bassy. They also attract millions in tourism. I like Harry – he’s done it tough since his Mum died.
Don’t be such a tightwad killjoy Bassy. We love em here in Oz; they lift the nations spirit!!
“they lift the nations spirit!!”
Careful what you say Milton; Bassy will take that to mean they’re nicking our whiskey.
I like them all but they are rich enough to finance their own holidays. I have tremendous respect for the Queen and Phil The Greek but not so her brats.
Lift the spirits of the grovelling forelock tugging obsequious lickspittles? That’s not “spirit” that’s being lifted Milton, that’s overgrown babies goo – gooing with pleasure.
Here is my cricket suggestion that is surely so obvious that it cannot be original, but I have not read it elsewhere. How can we improve in India? Complaining about sub-continent pitches is futile. So why don’t we construct one in Australia and make our test ranked players practice on it? Difficult in England or New Zealand, but large areas of Australia have the baking conditions that would make it possible. Darwin in the Australian winter, or Kalgoorlie, Port Augusta or Broken Hill in the Australian summer. Many Indians have come to Australia on 457 visas to be cooks or hairdressers. What about a couple who can prepare an Indian cricket pitch in Australia? Australian batsmen who cannot score runs on that pitch don’t get picked for India.
Thoughts, anyone?
I’ve played on a few
Simple answer is to just go and practise on one of those bush dirt roads out near Bogan Gate
Thoughts? You need a hobby.
Do the Indians prepare “Australian” pitches at home to practice on before they come out here?
The Australians would definitely play better on the sub continent if they took their own food and stayed away from the local stuff altogether. Nothing wrong with Indian food, it’s fabulous, but the Indians grew up on it. Ever thought about how positively weird Englishmen became during the time of the Raj?
The cunning Indians secret statues of Ganesh about the cricket grounds. I have approached the ACB in the past offering my services to lead the Australian team in chanting mantras to counter the meddlesome influence of Ganesh prior to commencement of play each day.
They choose in their pigheaded ignorance to ignore me.
So stuff ’em.
Give ’em heaps.
I got sick of curry after week three JB. I thought I loved the stuff but clearly not every day breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Exactly Razor. Eat too much Indian food and the spinners will make you look like an idiot.
Certain other teams can have a toke and still play well but Australians cant.
Razor, I got a little sick of the curry and one night asked for a pizza. It consisted of a lightly toasted white bread base with tomato paste and a bit of cheese on top….sigh
I actually did something I haven’t done in about 10 years Penny. I went to a McDonalds. It was in Hyderabad. I was craving anything non-curry. Obviously it was all Chicken or Vege so I ordered the ‘Western Meal’. Chicken patty, cheese, red onion and mayo. Guess what? The mayo had curry added to it. I could have cried.
That’ll larn you for being culturally insensitive!
Put the pitch in Alice Springs and make it part of the Sheffield Shield.
Each side can import two Indian spinners for the match.
No need to worry about the lack of gate takings because they hover around zero most of the time.
Alice has a nice ground from memory. The ‘soil’ is wrong. I’d go further north onto the blacksoil plains. Maybe without a roller.
It’d get sticky if it rained TV. The ball would just stop dead.
Which is why you don’t tour India during the wet.
Good on Harry. The most likeable royal to enhance the gene pool with some exotic bloodlines.
Indeed so and did you know his full name is Henry Charles Albert David. “Harry” is a common nickname for members of the Royal Family called Henry apparently. Prince Harry has been called “Harry” since his childhood and it has stuck. Cheers
Seems a really nice person. HB. All the uninformed inferences about his parenthood must have been hard for him.
It’s all rubbish too. He’s a Spencer. A lot like his uncle and grandfather.
Yep, no doubt he’s a Spencer.
Maybe he can go to America and earn a proper living!
Good one Prince Harry and Meg. All you need is love. After that I suggest wigs, sunglasses and hats.
Another commoner. What about the bloodlines, what?
Ahem.
The ghost of Wallace Simpson!
Yes! How times have changed…….
Difference is that the women have been introducing new genes on the quiet for centuries but it has not been all that successful.
Bit more obvious when the men do it.
Just a bunch of over-privileged people who have us feeling sorrow for them because they have no privacy.
Roll on the Republic.
The Brits love their queen JS. Nothing wrong with that really.
Dunno about that B.
Quite a few I know are very disparaging about them.
Also, there is no need for us to go gaga about him but I suppose it sells a few woman’s magazines,
Who doesn’t love a Queen, Boa except perhaps another queen or diva!
Yeah, but Kate gets pretty crook when she’s pregnant. Having another broodmare in the family will offload her breeding work.
And they haven’t identified Harry’s sire so he isn’t necessarily a commoner.
Prince Charles, Perentie
Boady. Yeah sure thang, and I just seen a big flock of Wessex Saddlebacks flying north for winter.
Could do with a shake up Jack
“But while it says it should be able to meet reliability standards, it’s underlined the fact that the biggest threat to supplies this summer will be the unexpected outage of major equipment, most likely the failure of a transmission line – in storm or bushfire – or the failure of a gas and coal plant” But wait there’s more
1500mw of coal offline last week due to breakdowns.

Probably a direct result of the renewable’s strategy that made then unprofitable and therefore maintenance has been cut back.
There is always a reason.
JS. Anymore excuses?
No just facts.
JS.HAHAHHAHA. Are you Malcolm what’s his name who cant even get elected in QLD? HAHAHA. Facts? HAHAHAHA
Never learned how to twist the facts to suit an argument Dismal – I leave that up to the people like your good self. However, I must give credit where credit is due. I think you are a rank amateur when compared with those with their snouts in the trough and depend on government handouts to make them viable eg the renewable’s industry..
Bella, look away. but you probably know about this already.
http://www.theage.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/the-shocking-japanese-whaling-footage-the-australian-government-wanted-to-hide-20171127-gztg06.html
The horribleness of the act aside, the arrogance of carrying it out in an Australian sanctuary should be of great concern. Testing our resolve? Sticking it to us? Making Australia Japans “bitch.” ?
Whoa back, demarcation issue there!
Yep it is awful. They know too well that we can’t really patrol such a large area comprehensively – other than declare war on Japan.
Sea Shepherd did a good job – sad to see them have to abandon it.
Five years ago Sea Shepherd requested that the Australian government release this footage but was repeatedly refused due to “potential damage to international relations”.
CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, are now investigating Japan to verify any violations.
Be easier with torpedoes…..😢
Mate this hurts but the bottom line is that Sea Shepherd will not be sending our ships to block the illegal operations of Japanese whalers, as we have done alone for the past 12 years, with SFA support from the Australian government.
Captain Paul Watson made this decision after Japan declared us a ‘terrorist organisation’ therefore they are bringing full military support along with satellite capabilities we don’t have, to be able to locate our vessels before we find them.
There are over thirty crew on each ship so the risk to human life is far too great to take a chance they won’t be fired upon..
This pack of cowards people loosely call a government have sought to hide the poaching activities from the Australian people because they don’t have one ball between them to get off their weak knees and tell that butchering nation to go to hell.
So 333 mostly pregnant minke whales will be harpooned, the meat packaged & the fetus of every cow thrown overboard like so much rubbish while Turnbull remains “disappointed”. Pfft
Of course if it were personally up to me I’d be buying torpedoes.

Give me a home among the gum trees, can I touch your bum please…………….
A bitch or two to play with my digeredoo……
A peep or two, when she’s in the loo . . .
