It usually means "what's it to ya". Only Blot knows what he meant.

This person thinks he's a journalist?

Bolt Dishonours Queen

2011-10-19T14:50:00.000-07:00

The mad mutterer from Melbourne is at it again. Only this time he has landed Her Majesty the Queen in it. Cursty? According to the Urban Dictionary it has a very disreputable meaning . He's used it in reference to the Queen and the Prime Minister. Disgraceful!

If you take a look at this screen shot, you'll notice that it looks familiar. This is because it's a grab from my other blog posted a little while ago. I was mucking about with an astroturf* site and I decided to see how closely it was monitored. This particular site is modelled on the Tea Party sites in the USA, and is sponsored by Senator Cory Bernadi. I

Blot in the Meida

Ole bumblefingers Blot is at it again......Meida? Apparently they make Windstoppers. That'd be right...... They'd have to be very effective to limit the wind that emanates from that quarter. Click on the screen shot. I think I'll have to introduce a new post label. What do you think it should be called? Blot's Bloopers has a ring to it.... "Your freedom is in their hands.." Glad

Handson what?

2011-10-06T21:32:00.001-07:00

I wonder why it wasn't posted. (Click to enlarge). Obviously Blot has no sense of humour. This is professional journalism? Update - Fixed now! Glad I could be of assistance.

Giving Credit

Well, it's probably over - at least in the sense that the US is now able to extract itself from the bloody mess. The War in Iraq, that is. And the Right in the US want to take credit. They're welcome. 4287 Americans KIA and 30,182 wounded. 107, 152 civilian casualties. 1,785,212 Iraqi refugees. The country still has no government. The Coalition took its eye

Don't Challenge Bolt

2009-11-14T12:12:00.000-08:00

Poor old Andrew!He doesn't enjoy being challenged.He's now ignoring my posts (rather than reacting with a hissy fit).It may have something to do with this.Interesting that he hasn't posted a climate graph since.For further amusement go here.That was after he threw a little tanty.

Not Funny

2009-08-19T14:11:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted here for a while, because I haven't been banned for a while.Timmeh's moderators have remedied that sad state of affairs, however.I'd commented on Timmeh's posting a story about a store owner in the USA who had fatally shot two would-be burglars. My comment suggested that Tim was sad that we didn't have such a culture here.After the usual barrage of name calling from Tim's sheep,

Snipped by Bolt (Again)

2009-07-17T19:17:00.000-07:00

I've raised poor old Bolta's ire again.See his post on Therese Rein.My comment -“And with Catholicism there’s always the Pope”This demonstrates, Andrew, your ignorance of modern Catholicism. The Pope is largely irrelevant to both the hierarchy and the laity in Australia. The treatment of Fr Peter Kennedy and St Mary’s is an aberration.Have you heard of the oral contraceptive?He has thrown a

Heat and Kitchen

2009-05-25T00:42:00.000-07:00

Bolta's blog has been great fun lately.The behaviour of most of the regular posters is entirely predictable. Generally if you disagree with Bolta you cop abuse, are accused of a range of unspeakable acts, but debating points made are rarely challenged. Because this follows a pattern, it becomes boring.If you take the time, however to identify Bolta's spin, and actually have the temerity to point

Where's Timmeh?

2009-04-17T19:39:00.000-07:00

Timmeh has become boring (or should I say, more boring than usual), so I don't visit Much anymore. In any case, if you read Bolt, you read Blair - and vice versa. I did pop by the other day, and dropped a comment about the current boat arrival hysteria, which has brought out the usual collection of loony tunes. Reminds me of turning over an old rotting log - revealing and disgusting both at the

Timmeh Still Cross

2009-04-09T00:37:00.000-07:00

I have obviously mortally offended Timmeh - he still refuses to run my most innocuous posts. (See left - click to view).Having said that, the happy little trolls at A Western Heart have relented. What a pain - I'll have to conjure something up that gets them foaming at the mouth again.....shouldn't be difficult.But I've scored over at Touchstone. I'm not sure about the other two who get a mention

Still Censored

2009-03-29T19:32:00.000-07:00

Here are some more examples of what Timmeh doesn't want you to read.Click on the pics and make up your own mind.

If this man serves ('serves' isn't quite the word, unless we're talking about serving some of the most despicable fixers and socialist ideologues ever to make a grab for power) a full term America may not recover from the damage done to her. The traitorous filth -installed by the media and gullible fools looking for salvation via the half-bred fixer- are on course to destroy the Republic . If it

Thanks Tran.....

2009-02-27T17:39:00.000-08:00

This sequence of events constitutes a fine example of irony....Step 1 - I post comments on Blair's blog and get censored because (I assume) I don't kowtow to Timmeh's opinions in the same sheepish manner as his regular readers.Step 2 - I post the censored comments on this blog so that anyone interested can get an idea about what opinions are allowed, and what are binned.Step 3 - My posts are

No Point

2009-02-24T00:18:00.000-08:00

There's not much put in commenting on A Western Heart. The only contributers these days appear to be the bloggers (Ting-tong and MKKK).I'll therefore confine my comments to Timmeh's censoring of my my recent comments -On Voices Needed My censored comment - Of course, Tim has never used episodes of unseasonal cold weather to argue the opposite. Talk about Pot and Kettle.And on Progressives at Play

Timmeh's Minders (2)

2009-01-30T18:11:00.000-08:00

This is probably a more appropriate location for publishing what Timmeh's minders censor. With that in mind, I'll move my updates here.Most recently - Yep - privatization has had such great results in Melbourne.Update - Comment censored by Timmeh - "Why compulsory voting is a disaster" An interesting version of elitism.

Comment on "The Greenie Menance at Work Again"

2009-01-30T18:05:00.000-08:00

Because Greenies go ballistic at plans to build dams, politicians are very slow to build them. So we have water shortages. And the very expensive "solution" to that -- promoted by the government -- is for each house to have its own rainwater tank. Talk about "drought" below is a coverup. It rains every couple of days where I live -- which must be the world's strangest "drought" -- but we still

Comment on "Good on ya John Howard"

2009-01-05T20:24:00.000-08:00

LiveNews - Former prime minister John Howard will receive the US Presidential Medal of Freedom at a White House ceremony next week. The award is said to be the highest civilian honour bestowed by a United States president. Mr Howard is being honoured for his role in fighting terrorism and for standing by the US as an ally during his 11 years as prime minister. "Yes, I am honoured by it, more

News.com.au - Fresh from a giant-slaying win over rival Hillary Clinton in the Democratic White House nominating race, Senator Obama joked he could put his house up for rent, to make a financial killing if Chicago wins the 2016 Summer Games. "I have to let you know in 2016, I'll be

Comment on "The Irrelevance of the Status of Oughts"

2008-06-07T13:59:00.000-07:00

Philosophy can be a hard slog but moral philosophy is nonetheless something of a must for those of us who wish to combat the constant nihilistic chant "There is no such thing as right and wrong" that comes from the Left. So I think that the short post below by Scott Scheule should have a wider audience. I add some further comments of my own at the foot of itMuch is made of whether morality is

They send their dumber kids to TAFE so that their results do not show up as attributable to the schoolYear 12 students at a private school in Sydney are forced to complete HSC subjects at TAFE if it appears they will not score high marks. Malek Fahd Islamic School, in Greenacre, joined the top 10 HSC performers in the Herald's league table for the first time last year, ranking ninth - a jump

2008-06-06T20:11:00.000-07:00

Something that thrives by giving people what they want is deeply offensive to the Left. Coercion is what gets their rocks off. Comment on a NYT article belowIn a May 28 column, Thomas Friedman wrote: "But as soon as oil prices started falling in the late 1980s and early 1990s, we let Detroit get us re-addicted to gas guzzlers, and the price steadily crept back up to where it is today."Ah yes, the

The Australian - It emerged yesterday that the plan unveiled by Mr Rudd on Wednesday for the creation by 2020 of an Asia-Pacific community was hatched at the last minute, triggering hasty drafting work in Canberra and a flurry of diplomacy in key Asian capitals in recent days. Former foreign affairs department head Richard Woolcott, appointed by Mr Rudd as his special envoy on the initiative,
