   Dog, so much fun checking the jokes in the asides.

   Of special resonance for me is the “The Drum” Headline - so neatly captures another Crikey thread - that the ABC is allowing complete fuckwits to get climate change denial pieces and totally barking mad comments up - in the interests of “balance”.

   It must have been a relief to see him go…. and such a delight to see the Fox-a-ranga arrive…..

   Pedestrians crossing the nation’s highways dress up in furry costumes and try to look small.

   I am unashamedly bowed by your brilliance and in danger of death by laughter at the same time!!! Amongst other delights, the evil Bob Brown is literally too much to bear
   BTW how polite, obedient and sweet is Jasper to PM Gillard, methinks maybe theres been a conspiracy all along…..

   I see you predict Fantastic Ms Fox will return to the red hair colour after she deposes the newly elected Prime Minister Abbott in a military coup led by Jasper and the Crikey crew.
   I miss the Coke sign at the top of William St already.

   ‘Bikini Croc In Car Scare’ did it for me. It’s the only angle on a croc the NT News has yet to publish.

    Speaking of tips and rumours, Bob Brown used to sleep next to his desk during the Franklin River campaign. An experience I know 1993-94 in the Wilderness Declarations campaign in NSW under that legislation, removing the Coalition state govt in the process March 1995.

    In short they will have to carry Bob out of the Senate in a box. The guy is a campaigning machine. It’s his vocation and his gift. Nick McKim might well be a worthy replacement in time but methinks growing the green pie remains their overall agenda.

    First Dog,

    Did the opening frame come from this comment made against the Crikey ASIO story of 24 Feb 10?

    I’m just emerging from a nasty sickness; three days without looking at Crikey! That’s sick!

    If I am to pull through it will be, in large part, due to “Bikini Croc in Car Scare”
