Not all the baddies come with a Latin splash. Queensland is much like a southern, nine lettered “L” state of yours in that it breeds and loves its crooks. Two of the proudest escapees from our George Street recidivist Looters Club are working to redress America’s imbalance problem, big-noting themselves by shoveling stolen Australian dollars into your economy so you would love them for purely pecuniary reasons. They got into your country with the correct paperwork and frequently traverse Arizona and indeed, every state of your country sniffing out deals. We Queenslanders are innate pain-loving cretins who adore our corporate looters and bent politicians with their smug hangers-on, but treat cautiously these high-profile crooks, they are well-versed confidence tricksters, ingratiating themselves in all the right spots even as we speak.
A Letter From Les
Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.
“A Letter From Les.”- Here Is My Secret. May 29, 2012
- A CABAL OF CENSORED HUNTS. May 23, 2012Reblogged from A Letter From Les: Original Title And Story Are On … http://johnstheword.wordpress.com/ My place of abode is in an unfenced Government flat precinct on Beaudesert’s northern outskirts. Most passers-by assume the 1950 circa army camp buildings are part of the Wongaburra Convalescent Home and its inhabitants their sedated, tame inmat […]
- Bonding And Pain And Death. May 13, 2012This story on the death of an English hooligan, a ‘great guy’ of course, was sourced from his local media, an entity I tend to think the scum-bag would have had no idea of its existence and is replicated hundreds of times a day around the planet. In Australia, this crap, always the best ever [...]
- Too Contentuous For A Metro Paper. May 3, 2012For the life of me, I can’t understand the confrontational attitude of those letter-writers who spit chips when a publication won’t run their print stuff. A refusal probably covers a million reasons including exaggeration. A knock-back for me is an accepted norm and if I think the subject needs getting out of the system, will [...]
- A.S.I.O. The Inspector-General Must Be Ridiculed. April 25, 2012The oft used Orwellian line is flogged to death by human behavioural observers world-wide, as they watch helplessly the ignorance and stupidity of elected representatives manifest as institutionalised extremists. ASIO braggart and megalomaniac advocate, Vivienne Thom struts the stage with titles reminiscent of East Germany. Inspector General should be an art […]
- A Tattler’s Tale…The Extraordinary Happenings In A Place Near You. April 11, 2012Queensland’s dissenters, critics and chronic haters been in a void since Bligh’s Looter’s club closed for business should get some solace from the new regime’s decision to drop the Premier’s Literature Bull-shit Prize. Its disappearance sent only the chardonnay set into a tizzy fit, real plebs couldn’t give a rats. The dis […]
- Garbage Nazis…Avoid/Beware Frustrated Control Freaks. March 30, 2012The ultimate result of shielding men from their own stupidity is to fill the world with fools. I recently urged people to be gentle with those seemingly kind old chaps you see buzzing around garbage bins like blue-arse flies and refer not to unfortunates looking for sustenance, but to the resident sheet-sniffer. After a couple [...]
- Australian Deep-thinking. March 13, 2012Bitumen Around A Parked Car. We Must Be In Queensland. This action is evidence of the Government encouraged strategy of ‘let your bureaucrats do your thinking’ is working well. Can a philosophic, educated writer do a short piece explaining why a brain-dead Australia is preferred. There might not be a devilish, Machiavellian plot to bring [...]
- Answers To Some Queries. After The Lord Mayor… March 2, 2012
- Partly Two…Be gentle with garbage nazis. February 28, 2012A Good Day To Propose. A black eulogist tells Huston A-listers and by extension me, that she “so lurved the Lord.” Did she really, or is blame for her chosen leisure activities being deflected from the Brown chap and spread around to include an imaginary character to better tart-up a damaged image? Quite frankly, my [...]
- GingerZilla…a creature in harmony with his madness. February 26, 2012Fear? If I have gained anything by damning myself, it is that I no longer have anything to fear. ~ Sartre You are a bad bastard Craig, an evil genius within whose blog might be discovered a universal panacea, an imaginary antivenin for all the known mental ailments troubling humanity. I fear however, for the [...]
- Alternet…a Story on Police Intrusion. February 19, 2012Sick: Young, Undercover Cops Flirted With Students to Trick Them Into Selling Pot. Working at the Drug Policy Alliance for the last twelve years I have read and heard countless stories of people having their lives ruined because of our country’s cruel war on drugs. Last weekend, the nationally syndicated show This American Life highlighted [...]
- Venal Tuesday’s Light Reading. February 6, 2012
- A Modified Letter To A British Friend. February 6, 2012It is more shameful to distrust our friends than be deceived by them. It is with much difficulty can I consciously start a paragraph with a personal pronoun and such is my critically detested self-effacement that to so begin a story would surely alert the hammers of hell. This post, like the writer, is tempted [...]
- Hey Everybody, I’m on Craig’s list. January 28, 2012(@thegingerzilla) commented on People With Principle And Guts. I didn’t know they were after the Acropolis as the cost of export would be prohibitive with rising fuel costs despite the recent plunder of Carthage. I had however heard from Maximus that they were haggling with the Greek Tithe masters in the hope of gaining a [...]
- Confrontations…the country needs more baddies. January 27, 2012“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Ayn Rand,“Atlas Shrugged”,1957 Crikey’s queensland-election-thread/ [...] […]
- People With Principle And Guts. January 16, 2012“Infamy! Infamy! They’ve Got It In For Me.” The acropolis is one of the most recognisable icons of Greece and is a good representation of Classical Greek culture and a well-heeled consortium would probably hand over three or four billion for it which could be used wisely like restoring Greek pensions; shipped to the States [...]
- Welcome To The Future… feel free to walk on my face. January 12, 2012“You are a slow learner, Winston.” “How can I help it? How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.” “Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy [...]
- Of Ghosts And Gingerzilla. Keep the home fires burning. January 11, 2012(thegingerzilla) replies to “A Letter To Gingerzilla… Staying Optimistic Despite Adversity.” Apologies for my lax reply Les, I’ve been a busy bee with Crimbo and plotting to take over the world by revealing the truth about the Kraken. Been going through a mad writing spell. I can see you have the same issue in churning [...]
- Crikey, Mateys and Cobbers of Queensland ! It’s almost turd rotation time again. January 9, 2012After becoming familiar with the Ruler’s lurks and perks handbook, Newman won’t want to upset his new chums and tutors, the long entrenched Bureaucrats, owners of their domains and to retain and encourage a working compatibility, will be unable to delve comprehensively into QBuild quangos or care much about the character assassination of some tenants [...] […]
