Brilliant! This just about says it all.
Finally I have cancelled The Age. It has become indistinguishable from the Hun. Same layout; same tired journalism(?) as the Murdoch MSM; same placement of photos; same trite and predictable opinions; same icky wicky sob stories on front page; same mediocre tabloid muck.
I’d like to think it owed its savage retreat to the presence of the Rhine Maiden on the board, but it is probably that they can no longer afford to pay a decent editor. Shame, shame.

Reuben for PM. If Julia can’t win it, he’s the best alternative – way ahead of Balloon Boy and Bucket Man.
@Venise – congrats on your cancellation. I still check the SMH on line, but looks like it’s heading the same way eventually. Wail. Gnash.

Mr Dog, I am forever grateful that TA’s excitement was depicted merely as a smiley face on his red bucket.

I’ve just launched an Online Petition advocating that Gonski funding be used immediately to replace world maps in all Australian history classrooms with posters of this Dog toon.
This will at least further enrich the Canine Marvel, and anyone is welcome to sign as long as they cease and desist from using the US spelling of Our Proud Name and endow “Doggonauts” with the requisite number of “g”s.
(I tried to cite my Macquarie Concise as authority for that last bit but, inexplicably, I drew a blank there.)

FD it is pretty sad that a 113 year old nation is still too immature to have a female leader. We did not need to replicate the “older” “civilisations” mistakes, let alone permit an alien to create an asylum and let his lunatics run it. The only way we can be the lucky country now is if the vacuous urban ape man has a personality implant, or he smothers in the red bucket as his head swells. Not much channce of either really when his employer the alien, has all the money in the world and still cant buy the right wife.
