Sunday Round Up
Fresh-faced Hicks:
The Sunday Age ran the above picture of a cute-as-a-button, no doubt very young David Hicks today; clearly taken many years before he commenced his career as an Islamist guerilla. No rocket-propelled grenades in sight!
The Age presumably believes reality is just too prejudicial for Hicks.
Grog on the shelves bad idea, for some reason...
Meanwhile, The Hun reports that professional wowsers are attempting to stop supermarkets from placing liquor items on the supermarket shelves - the general rule in my neck-of-the-woods is that liquor is sold in a separate, attached bottle shop. Clearly the sobriety brigade thinks alcoholics are currently being prevented from picking up that bottle of vodka by the effort of having to walk five metres to the Liquor Land.
I guess it is the same logic which would prevent addicted gamblers from getting to a poker machine venue if the local one shut down and they had to travel another kilometre or two to indulge the habit.
It must be fun to be a self-indulgent moral narcissist.

They'd get even more sympathy showing his 'baby on a bearskin rug' pic. "But the poor boy was only guarding a tank." Cheh, right.

"Guarding a tank": I've never heard that before. Do you mean escorting a tank, i.e, like an infantryman?

It doesn't take much to get you guys all riled up, does it.

"Professional wowsers" are usually Christians out to impose their beliefs on people who don't want them.
(Yes, I'm posting this after reading your 'Change the Subject' post.)

I suppose they just might be professional christian wowsers.
There is clearly a balance to be struck here.
