March 28, 2001. Archbishop Pell thinks he can get away with saying unchristian, hateful things because he can put on a deep churchy voice.
He doesn't need to move to Sydney, he needs to move to whatever part of America it is that breeds religious freaks who would like to ban contraception and think homos should burn.
Would he be so enthusiastic about God if he knew that Jesus looks like Don Burke crossed with a garden gnome?
March 25, 2001. As if we needed more proof that John Howard is a fuckstick. The Sunday Age reports that new 'shock tactic' ads will be broadcast from tonight "in a bid to force Australians to confront the drugs menace". I think Australians are pretty well up on the drugs menace, "mainstream Australia's apparent apathy" obviously referring to a different mainstream Australia from the one that wanted legalised heroin trials and injecting rooms, and was prevented by our own special Federal Government.
Showing a stunning, but unsurprising lack of any clue, the paper quoted Mr Howard as favouring "a prevention strategy designed to stop young people experimenting with drugs in the first place by teaching them about the consequences and promoting healthy family life."
So all you families that have been pushing your kids into drugs with your unhealthy family life should just stop it now, your bluff has been called.
Rather than taking a look at why so many kids have such low self-esteem and can't see a worthwhile or happy future for themselves, Howard apparently reckons that "the best drug prevention program in the world is a responsible parent sitting down with their children and talking with them about drugs".
Oddly enough, the article doesn't mention how much money is being spent on a television campaign to point out the bleeding, heart-wrenchingly obvious - ""drugs destroy families"". I'm assuming, of course, they mean hard drugs like heroin and not dope, cigarettes or alcohol.
March 23, 2001. Mir's demise makes me sad. I'm not sure why, but I feel somehow bound to it. If I didn't live somewhere with accents that kill terminating r's it wouldn't affect me.
Poor Mir.
March 21, 2001 Cheesier than pre-cheese on toast, 'Dijonnaise' represents everything that's wrong with our society. As one website says, "buy Dijonnaise, and you won't even have to mix up the mustard/mayo!".
