Just another Crikey Blogs weblog

Open thread 6 April ‘09

We love having you comment here at Pure Poison but it’s a little bit difficult for discussion to continue uninterrupted on specific posts when off-topic comments land in the middle of them. So each day we’ll launch an open thread where you can leave comments that don’t quite fit on one of the other posts. Remember that tip-offs can be made here.

Have at it!

    A last thought on Mr Bolts attacks on Joel Fitzgibon’s links to Ms Liu, has he forgoten that his boss is now married to a chinese woman? How would Rupert feel if the same sugesstions were being made about Wendy Deng?

    How did Bolt and his moderators let this one through:

    “The whole place should be nuked.

    Just start again.

    Then Pakistan.

    Don’t laugh. Think about it for a second- what hope has the free world got against radical islamists?

    Mrs Robinson (Reply)”

    Disgusting.

    Oops, the use of the word “disgusting” is mine and not the charming Mrs R’s. It was meant to be inserted after the date!

    BTW, what do I use to format my comments – italics, bold etc? Do I use [] [/] or ?

    Skeptic – the moderators let it through because they want sentiment like that to get out – {That’s speculation, Kym, and I doubt that it’s a likely explanation — Scott}

    it also generates hits from those who are incendsed by that tripe or those who will chime in with the usual stuff Andrews Acolytes echo – - things like “Spot on Mrs Robinson!” or ” you’ve hit the nail on the head again!” – the sort of pocket pi*sing stuff they serve up to Andrew himself.

    Bolt’s latest:

    “How many died because Victoria’s power supplies failed through lack of investment? ”

    I agree, lack of investment in solar energy, the sort of energy [b]abundant[/b] during a heat wave.
