I’m a bit worried that there might be some overlap between scientistical climate changerologists and the beardist lefties – (or was that lefty beardists ?) …. also the ones with khaki shirts and shorts seem (in my experience) far removed from matters like first class personal hygiene.
Could it just be a mental hug, FD ?
2GB…..Genius!!
P.S. Purely for the love of Gaia, I will happily hug those fugly ones with bosoms……. But no way, am I going near anyone wearing a beard. 😀

I attended the pro-carbon tax rally in Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens yesterday: there were only 5,000 people, a piddling effort. As Firsty says in today’s ‘toon, ‘what’s wrong with you Australia?
Even Swannie was there! But, to give him credit, he was present in body only and kept his mouth closed.
@Zut: Thought about going to Canberra one, but CBF. 5000 or 5001 … sigh.
Photos of dead animals? Walk down the meat aisle at the supermarket. Then down the pet food[1] aisle, an take a deep sniff.
[1] WTF is it that this now occupies an entire aisle? Of pet food that has all the nutritional value of the crisps and snack food aisle?
