Okay so I'm an Aussie, and American news doesn't really affect me unless our dickhead government decides to go to war with someone just because the US is, but just today I saw a post about Ted Cruz being outraged that a Bill had been drafted to regulate men's reproductive rights (make them have vasectomies, … Continue reading And the hypocrisy just keeps coming …
Heard the Turd
Being a Generation X-er, I grew up watching 21 Jump Street. From the very first, I was a Johnny Depp fan.

On Sunday my 21 year old son had to make one of the toughest decisions of his young life. Our eleven year-old white German Shepherd, Booker, has been dealing with cancer for the past six months or so, and the tumour on his right front leg was getting too big and stretching the skin around … Continue reading Goodbye, sweet puppy…
ScoMo "fiddles" while Australia burns
Let’s face it, folks – there’s really only one topic of conversation going on in Australia at the moment. Our nation is in a state of bushfire crisis, quite unlike anything I remember happening in my forty-six years on earth. Yes, there was Black Saturday a decade ago, and of course Ash Wednesday in the … Continue reading ScoMo "fiddles" while Australia burns
