My Three Rs: August 2022

self righteous spuds

There's an ad in the paper telling us to switch off our sprinklers.

Don't worry, that rule will not affect us. We will plant a potato in our garden. Everyone knows that potato growers are above the law. Especially laws limiting use of water.

Best Headline Ever

The government is holding a "Jobs and Skills summit" in Canberra.

In the paper is an opinion piece by Mark Riley. The headline: "Skills summit a big job"

rofl...

Or is it just my family that uses "a big job" as an alternative to "number twos"

Not just a time-wasting gabfest, the summit is likely to be a really Big Job

btw: According to a uni marketing lecturer, it's okay to claim that a product is "best". Lots of products can be "best".

But if you claim that your product is "better" -- be prepared to back your claim with solid proof.

Well done Aunty

A cricket legend wants to be a cricket commentator with the ABC. He signs a contract which includes a clause which says that he will not have a side-gig promoting gambling. He takes a side-gig promoting gambling -- and has to quit his commentator role.

As opposed -- for example -- to the cover-up standards of mining companies. Make public statements against sexual harassment. Then, at a mining conference, no great fuss when a mining executive gropes and harasses a woman.

Aunty ABC has a standard -- and sticks with it.

Well done Aunty.

just kidding. i hope

stop sexual misconduct with enforced gender quotas in the mining industry. what a genius idea from a politician.

after all, fifty fifty gender split works so well in general society.

give to the poor. or else

One thing is clear about Kate Emery: she does not own or rent out a house. She sees no problem with laws to force landlords to accept tenants with pets. She wants to give tenants the right to nail pictures to the wall. (Does she see any limit to the allowable "minor" changes?)

In fact, she wants more. Emery suggests that cruel landlords are responsible for homelessness. She seems to be ready for house-owners to be forced to accept homeless people into their houses. What next? Force people to give their second set of clothes to the poor? Why not.

where the A-G lies

the a-g is a politician.

he says whatever he thinks will win public support. lies, truth, half truth it doesnt matter. hell back it up with more lies if that seems to help. and when he is challenged on his lies he starts again. adding denial and claims of misunderstanding to the mix.

there was only one change to the nonsense. the a-g forgot that he was in court. he imagined that he was still with his mates. back in the house of lies. parliament

from Stigma to Profit

Renee Gardiner had a near-death experience. This inspired her to become a death-doula (We need to break stigma of death, 6th August). A doula is a person with no real qualifications who is paid to manage someone else's life at a critical period. It's all about sweet smells, soft lights and mood music.

Let's look at her experience. She had open-heart surgery. Best medical attention. A lot of care and attention during recovery.

during Recovery.

Now she leads a normal life.

That is not dying.

Dying involves the expectation of an absolute end. No recovery. Just death. The end.

The medical care may make it painless. That's why I don't -- much -- fear my own death. Scented candles, soft music, dimmed lights -- will not help. It may help my friends and family.

I will still die.

Her near-death experience has made her aware of the profit to be made from death. Don't pretend that a death-doula can in any way change change dying into a pleasant experience.

My own death will be years sooner that I would have hoped. Pity about that. But, it happens. An unqualified death-doula is not going to change that. Not for me. Because I'll die anyway.

But go ahead, waste your money. It will make the survivors feel better. And -- like a fancy funeral -- it's all done for the living survivors.

This is me, dying:

petulant premier

bloody hell premier. the impartial judge has told you that your fight was pointless and a waste of time. you were impressive in saying nothing. quigley provided support by saying whatever seemed to support you, then changing his claims when challenged. typical political clap trap.

the judge has ruled that no-one won. so you run sobbing to reporters. he started it, you cry.

bloody hell. just leave it alone.

or are you desperate for the attention of another pointless fight.

clean green smokescreen

i'm sure its just the way its reported. the paper goes for shock rather than facts.

the report is, that the government is about to legislate for a 43% reduction in emissions.

well, gosh, how easy is that. pass a law and just like that, less emissions. nothing else needed.

I wonder why no-one thought of that before.

what next. perhaps pass a law that crime will be 43% less.

its never my fault

recent letters to the paper indicate that god is a politician.

anything created by god is good. anything good is created by god.

if any of that good stuff goes wrong... its the fault of people. we failed to follow the good plan.

except when things are clearly not good at all. you know. war, plague, bad weather... anything bad... well that was created by satan.

who is this satan bloke?

he started off as a member of the god party. then he thought that he could be as good as god the leader. the response to the leadership challenge was swift and effective. satan the challenger was thrown out of the god party. no forgiveness, no redemption for satan just, out

and now... any problems are blamed on that past member of the party.

its all politics

how soon we forget

an article on the new game of thrones ripoff.

we are told that one of the actors identifies as non binary. and uses the pronouns they, them.

the next sentence begins, she has described...

she?

what happened to they... had described.

come on, its quite easy. if you think.
