I think "cork in the a-sehole of progress" is the right expression. “Howard will surely go down in history not as a Thatcher-style conservative agenda setter, but simply as a delayer, a ten-year obstruction.”

You will never get a catholic to discuss birth control or abortion, with sanity. And the politics of OZ are dominated by catholics, followed by fundamentalists. NEVER FORGET LUCY, the primary purpose of religion is to control women. :) Hang in there Lucy. You will never get a catholic to discuss birth control or abortion, with sanity.

Who wants to watch a loser proclaim himself a winner, anyway. I'd rather feed my nuts into a mincer. I wouldn’t have bothered to go, too, guy.

I'd begun to believe the same media conspiracy of silence protected The Great Betrayer' as it protects 'The Greenhouse Mafia'. They should all be taken to The Hague and charged with crimes against humanity, for the sake of our grandchildren at least Good.

As for "slavish popularism", quite amazingly you must have missed the recent K-Rudd show, but don't despair, it's still showing.

It's a 21C kind of thing ... ecological sensibility about limits to growth fetish economics, built on WW2 peace dividend (for the West at least) - old 20C stuff.

I am far more concerned with his protege Mad Tony Abbott's lurking presence than I am with Howard licking his wounds. Bad economic times will suit Abbott.

You just had to have gone to the same Jesuit college as the mad monk, Tony Abbott, himself. I would love to see the hash your lot come up with when the world population has reached 10-12 billion people. But no, they will all be as silly as you John James.

The killing of the innocent and helpless will be seen for what it is, the gravest of human rights violations. Like slavery, it will be overthrown and led by women who realise that killing their babies was no solution. Lucy, don’t you believe it honey!
