A bizarre article in Crikey claims that Andrew Bolt couldn’t make enough money from blogging to earn a living because US blogger Andrew Sullivan could.
Yet he managed to stun media watchers around the world earlier this month by announcing he would take his highly-read blog, currently housed at The Daily Beast, […] Continue Reading…

I was startled, but not surprised, to hear a news report this morning that Australians now own as many guns as they did before the 1996 gun buyback. Startled, because it has been a well-kept secret, but not surprised, because it is a species of a well-known economic phenomenon […] Continue Reading…

…and what a crock it is, was, and always will be. Human rights are universal, especially the right to be free from violence. If religion was a refuge for the cowardly criminals that raped and murdered the female student in Dehli, women would be out protesting in support of […] Continue Reading…

It is a marvel to me that so many commentators on […] Continue Reading…

Griffith is awash in political combat. Yesterday it was KRudd, today it’s his Liberal opponent, Bill Glasson who is out on the ground.

Does Kevin Rudd know something that the rest of us don’t?

This photo was taken in downtown Coorparoo today. I hadn’t heard there was an election on, but you never know. Kevin has certainly been hyperactive lately.

It’s a cheap ad, with low production values, but this doesn’t mean it won’t do damage to Campbell Newman.
