“Seconds later, as if in answer to my thoughts, a suicide bomber detonated himself among those we had just passed …” Benjamin Gilmour writes from Peshawar.

Will they be heard? Not when a consultation is a continuation of the problem rather than the possible solution like the federal government’s attempt to justify its NT Intervention.

glenn milne was in his crawl space…and i think he would have gone way before they got to the press gallery
Just having a daily First Dog is worth the Crikey subscription. Another piercing expose today on the way Australia is going. I wonder if the pollies know that at least someone is on to their game.
What happens when they come for the people who come for people?
By the way - that little image of FDOTM doing the “doo de doo dance”? T-shirt, right there.
Ah First Dog, you’ve done it again. Right from the heart and six stars to prove it. You have conquered all. You are, quite simply, the best.
All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

Pure gold.
Sensational. I don’t comprehend why people don’t understand you FDOTM. Then again, they don’t usually understand me either… Agree about the dancing FDOTM doo de doo dance. T-shirt right there.
Yes, little doo-de-doo dancing FDOTM on painfully trendy polo shirts (a la Ralph Lauren, Hilfiger and Lacoste) but without the wankyness.
Amazing there’s never a shortage of ‘coming for you’ people.
I meant to say it’s a slam dunker and there should be more sparkle fairies - premature posting!
A “slam dunker”? What part of the USA are you from Chris? Or would you prefer to be called - Chip, Chuck, Chase, or Randy?
SGIAN13 Chris is just fine - and you hail from?
Australia! Where, FYI, we are much more likely to “take a speccy” and “kick a goal”, and leave so-called “slam dunking” for yanks. But then again, I could be wrong. You didn’t say whether you were a yankee or a good ole boy” from the confederate south.
SGIAN13: Give over! Chris lives in NSW and she’s as Oz as you or me. Maybe she’s a basketball fan?
Venise I gave up on SGIAN13. When someone starts to sub comments about cartoons and speculate your origins they’re wingnut material.
Venise, thank you for your interest. Let me clarify. Maybe I should have started the earlier post with “Warning - Tongue in Cheek”. And, maybe she is an “American” basketball fan, but obviously one without much of a sense of humour.
Now, now, Chris, firstly I was polite enough to answer your question about origin. You weren’t so polite! Is that nice? Please see the above post for clarification. And, consider that this is, after all, a thread on a cartoon, i.e. humour. Finally, some people might consider that “slam-dunkers” and “high-fivers” etc, are to be thought of as “Faux American” wing-nuts. Not my view but, just a thought.
