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.
oh dear with Victoria’s coal fire plants broken down AEMO has had to activate its emergency plan. Will Frydenberg and turnbull be criticising the coal fired plants?
Well coal isn’t profitable in Vic due to the ridiculous stance the government has taken so as JS says maintenance suffers I suppose.
Not in this century Dismayed, they’d have to be mental….Wait…
We love Coal Fired Power Plants here in QLD, Dismayed, we have about 13 in action and are pumping big power into you southerners chaps grid to keep your lights on. Cheers P.S. I see the TESLA Battery had to be used a day or so ago in SA, thank god for Elon Musk
isn’t Barry O Sullivan still to prove why he should even be in parliament due to his business interest with government agencies?
Careful old chap. I have it advisedly he is looking for someone to sue the arse off regarding that allegation. Notice the media all of a sudden dropped off.
Had roast duck with steamed noodles at the Golden BBQ for lunch today but made no contacts. Not sure if I was filmed going in/out.
Gotcha. How was the duck?

I didn’t ask but it looked great.
And always a good laugh seeing someone fall down a hole.
How much did it cost?
$14.50 Bassman – generous portions, a bowl of basic soup with it, free water or tea and great help yourself chilli oil.
Basic place, limited menu – my kinda place (the missus is no fan!)

I am no fan of Dastyari-he is a show pony and should be kicked out but not for what he has done here. The bloke he told to be careful of his phone is the same bloke who has made donations to the Liberals, attended Liberal functions, has mixed frequently with senior Liberals including Turnbull. This govt has taken all our privacy away and I would advise EVERYBODY to adhere to Dasty’s warning. We are under more surveillance than those on the other side of the Berlin wall were with today’s technology.
The thrust of Dasty’s delivery was that we should butt out of the South China Sea fracas and this is what the discussion should be really about. And he is dead right. I can recall mad Bishop sabre rattling a few months back about what would happen to China if they did not lay off. It was bloody comical. Then her trip to Korea with Nobody Payne was even more farcical in some Casper the Ghost united sign of strength. We have no defence capability to go to war over the South China sea and we are just waiting tables for the Americans as usual. Dasty has committed no treason. It is a ridiculous claim but the Looters have no policies and only their own internal divisions to travel with at the present time..
What Shorten and Turnbull SHOULD remember is that China is our major trading partner and if it coughed or wiped us, we would go into recession. We need to be much more careful with China for our own good.
Michaela Cash is the one who should resign for using the Federal Police for political gain. She has got off. Labor has been to kind to her. So should Joyce for taking a $40,000 bribe and then quickly waking up. A much more serious offence than telling somebody to watch their phone. Will somebody please tell me what damage China has done to us in the last 50yrs. Nowhere near as much as the Americans as we continue to fight in their wars. I can see the next Liberal campaign…”Labor and the yellow peril”…worked for Menzies time after time and the Chinese have still not arrived!
Hear Hear Bassman, Hear Hear. the is guy donated half a million to the libs. What about J.Bishops wonderful fund from the chinese? Usual hysterical over reach trying to cover the catastrophe that is the coalition.
…and the Rolex watches?
That’s the way the US operates isn’t it? Goad a small nation into upsetting a big trading partner and then move in and take over the trade the small sucker nation had.
QLD Labor now only 1 seat away from a majority 47, Mr Insider, and it looks like that will come with the seat of Rockhampton going to Labor. QLD elections are tough as you almost have to run 2 campaigns one for the South and one for the North and Anastasia Palaszczuk did that admirably, even drawing the ire of ex PM Howard who was in QLD campaigning for the hapless Tim Nichols. Anastasia by the way was once married to the noted Author/Journo George Megalogenis

Is that right? I did not know that.
1996- 1998, Mr Insider was a short marriage. Cheers
I see.
By George! I did not know dat?
Where do you get your seat tally from Henry?
Comment from over the wall that may be spot on.
Clever move by the banks to bring on this RC themselves – whilst the Turnbull govt is calling it.
It would be far more probing under Labor – and the union super funds would probably be exempted.
Ridiculous comment. the Industry Super funds consistently out perform the big banks super funds and have much lower fees. KOD has been doing everything possible to give more of the funds to under performing mor expensive bank super funds. Don’t forget she received close to $ a million$ in donations from the big banks including her former employer before the last election. As usual you are way off the mark and blindly following ideology. No surprises.
Well we’ll find out, won’t we
The problem will ALWAYS be the terms of reference….should have waited for a Labor govt for a proper RC.
That’s why the banks called it ASAP Bassy!
Slap me Jesus, Mr Insider, that big blob of jelly we call a PM has back flipped and announced a Royal Commission into the Banking Sector. He’s outdoing ex ousted PM Abbott, the Master of the Flip and Dip!
https://tinyurl.com/ycske3rv
The RC into the banking industry has just been announced but Turnbull has likely given them enough time to cover-up the worst of it.
No doubt the big four will help frame the terms & the government will stack the commission full of his mates.
Most people have zero trust in our politicians going in hard on anything.
Slick move though! If the banks requested it, it must mean they know the outcome.
Malcolm the magician.
Yep
With an ally/PR man right in the middle of the Australian parliament it’s no wonder they were willing to pay his $40k legal fees!
