'Consistency' is a well worn word in Australian political life. One might even say it is a worn out word through consistent and over-frequent usage by government spokespersons as a position statement of their own actions. The claim of 'Consistency' is again trotted out as being Australia's position in the ABC News report below, which... Continue Reading →
A Little More ‘Wait and See’
I have used the term 'wait and see' a number of times in recent days in relation to the tangled web that is the election of the next US president. And that seems to be the only clear advice that can still be given to onlookers. The US court system has singularly wiped its hands... Continue Reading →
A Case of True Russian Altruism
'True Russian Altruism'? That is kind of a redundant statement since I know of no actual case of false Russian altruism. Disingenuity (or 'disingenuousness' if you are as old as I am: https://www.lexico.com/definition/disingenuous) is more a western trait. What other nation in today's world would freely offer the use of its own pharmaceutically developed technology...

What next for America?
I think I can acknowledge now that the last real hope for Trump's overthrow of the election result - an action that would have, in an ideal world (although in an ideal world no such action would have been needed) been fully justified and yet just as much divisive as the no turnover result will...

Kunstler’s Bad Dream
Would you believe it? I would. Well, it's better than the alternative nightmare. It also shows the man is a thinker, and he may just have some inside information that's relevant to the situation. I do hope so. For perhaps one last time (depending on what happens next) I am sharing this his latest blog... Continue Reading →
Anglo-American Fascism Masquerading as Democracy
I would love to write an article on "Anglo-American Fascism Masquerading as Democracy", but I can't. I have neither the will nor the energy to give to the matter the treatment that it merits. Maybe someone else can do that. Maybe someone else already has (see below). However, whenever pertinent information on the subject comes... Continue Reading →
Antidisestablishmentarianism
Antidisestablishmentarianism is often (well, not all that often) claimed to be the longest word in the English language. I happened to be thinking about language this morning when this word flashed through my mind. Well, not exactly a 'flash'. A word of that length doesn't flash anywhere but kind of meanders or crawls like a... Continue Reading →
Not so zany after all…
Zany? I'm talking about my stand since Nov 3 for the US election result to be overturned. I knew something would happen to force the issue one way or another. OK it's not happened yet, but it will. And it has nothing to do with Trump's legal team. The state of Texas started the ball... Continue Reading →
The Trumps to attend the Jan 20 Inaugural Ball – the Bidens won’t be invited
Sound too zany? "Well," as Kunstler says, "stand by on it. We’ll know soon enough." But that's the way things are pointing, as I see it. Look, my internet service is still lousy and looks like being several days before it is fixed. So I'm not going to the trouble to provide a full share... Continue Reading →
