Attention Radio Programmers
Listen to the podcast and see how these guys have improved episode after episode.
Time for you to rejuvenate your format by replacing the right wing dinosaurs on the roster with some younger guys who are progressive, smart, professional and funny. Your audience and advertisers deserve a breath of fresh air.
I just want to choose this moment to … come out.
I want to declare, in the midst of this obvious PPP leadership struggle (just who ARE the faceless men? Are they also voiceless? Otherwise it’s really not going to work on the radio).
Oh, yeah. The declaring thing. I am …. very boring.
*sniff*
There. I’ve said it.
Just watching that QandA episode. Dear oh dear. I can assure julie bishop that if that video was uploaded from parliament house, then they don’t need to contact google to find out – they could just go through the web logs and spot any large POSTs to the google upload pages.
I’d like to think it’s incredibly unlikely to be the case. But I don’t think we can assume anything any more. But I doubt it.
Does anyone know if hadley had a spit at holmes over the media watch segment?
Yeah. I’d chuckle louder about the V6 comment … except that I actually know next to nothing about most sports.
But bathurst basically exists to run V8s. Every now and then somebody comes along and runs something OTHER than a V8, and they often win. And that makes a lot of people really angry and they have to change the rules so that it doesn’t happen again
O. M. G. Trev Of Sydney’s comment. Wow.
On the one hand we’ve got some private health insurance queue jumpers. They’re jumping the queue over other Australians. On the other hand we’ve got some refugee queue jumpers. They’re jumping the queue over other refugees. I wonder which group the right-winger sees as committing the worse sin.
Worse, they’re jumping the queue over very sick Australians.
Not even that – in most of these places there’s no actual ability to join a “queue” anyway. And if there was, they’re not “jumping” it, they’re making another queue.
The only way the government can play them off against each other is by deliberately and unnecessarily choosing to take a place in the formal intake for every unauthorised arrival. They don’t have to do that, they just do because then they can talk about “queue jumping”.
If we really cared about the refugees in the “queue” we’d insist that the government stop arbitrarily punishing them for refugees who arrive some other way.
Another entertaining podcast. And there was some very good cackling, this time. Bravo!
Since there doesn’t appear to be a weekend thread: I was just surprised to hear one of the Today show hosts (I think her name is Leila) point out, in response to a viewer tweet, that we don’t vote for a PM we vote for our local member and the PM is voted for by the party.
Why exactly don’t we have more hosts who are willing to actually inform their viewers instead of just stoking the fire?
Fun at home with calibres.
Dirty Harry uses a big magnum. A .44 giant bullet which weaves around like a fat woman getting comfortable on a bidet.
By contrast Bond usually uses a Walther PPK – a .32 or even .22. Not as much firepower, but with a higher velocity and greater accuracy. I believe Hitler killed himself and Eva with one.
So what do you prefer as your preferred personal weapon?
Good question Angra.
For me, it would have to be a .357 magnum revolver, and a lever action .357 magnum carbine. Serious stopping power, and your ammo is interchangeable between weapons.
Well, there’s always infinite sarcasm and a fast pair of feet! However, if you’re heading down the shops anyway, I’ll have my self an Abrams tank thanks.
“So what do you prefer as your preferred personal weapon?”
Well, if you’re any good with a .44 … then I pick YOU!
Many years ago, there was a wizard of id cartoon (who remembers that?) where the skinny knight (can’t remember name) was challenged to a duel. He turns up with absolute giant of ogre in tow. The challenger says “Is he your second”? Our hero says “He’s my weapon”.
My dad also had the most brilliant poster on the door of a steel cabinet he bought somewhere for his workshop. It was an ogre, dragging a huge club with a nail sticking out of it. And the caption was
Top: “Thought I walk through the valley of death, I have no fear”.
Bottom: “For I am the son of a bitch that lives in the valley”
Every now and then I go on a googling spree to see if anyone’s ever scanned it in. It’s a fairly common quote, but the poster was awesome. I wish, sometimes, I could be that ogre.
But seriously, I think I’m with duncan. Some sort of carbine has to be the way to go. More accurate than a pistol, more wieldy than a long rifle. That sort of rifle seems designed for the urban environment. Not that, I suspect, it’s ever going to come up.
“I believe Hitler killed himself and Eva with one”
I think the cyanide was going to get them either way. That, or the russians.

If we’re talking the defensive, close-quarters stopping power demanded of home defense, there is no better choice than a short-barrelled scatter-cannon. With Australia’s prohibitive gun-laws, an 1887-style lever-action shotgun is where it is at, legally.
For all your talk of heavy handgun calibres, it is much easier to obtain a license for a lever-action shotgun or rifle in Australia, and in the close confines of one’s own house you’ll want the scatter-cannon over the rifle.
