Whacking Permalink Archive 20-8-02 Tried some
"Hollandia" beer with my homemade pizza tonight. Quite nice
it was too. Good "food" beer, though undoubtedly not "tasty"
enough for some. Flavour & texture is very light. Phillip Adams,
Margot Kingston and some dork are still whining about the "children
overboard" affair and the boat we didn't sink. Of course, they're
still going bonkers with rage about the fact that nobody else gives a
shit. As part of their endless phoney road-safety campaign, it seems the collective idiots that are the Transport Ministers from each state have decided to re-introduce front numberplates for motorcycles - a policy not deemed necessary in any other country on earth. Why? Because
our fabulous Of course, these fuckers seem to have forgotten that front numberplates were abandoned on bikes because of safety issues, or that 2/3rds of motorcyclist deaths are the fault of fucking stupid car drivers. Rather than do something which would actually improve road safety (like making sure people with driver's licences can actually drive), they're gonna get us evil bikers. Yet, it seems that the rules will only apply to new bikes registered from 2003 onwards, meaning most speeding riders will still evade capture. New models will have to have special fittings (at great inconvenience, expense, unsafety and ugliness) done to fit the front plate. People wont buy these new bikes, dealerships will collapse, people will keep re-birthing their old bikes. So once again, riders get fucked with as part of a politicians PR show, for no good reason. And for what benefit? Why don't these silly cunts just turn the cameras around. The highest estimate I've seen is a million bucks for the whole state of Victoria. And with that they'll collect a lot more of their precious revenue, riders wont be put to expense and inconvenience, and politicians won't waste valuable time farting around developing legislation. Of course, common sense is a little too much to ask from traffic cops, safetycrats and politicians. These are the fuckers - after all - who faked the photo of the "speeding rider" giving the finger to the speed camera. Common sense and good policy from these goons? Don't make me laugh. Fuck I hate
politicians. Hot
Buttered Death put me onto this
story which predicts the complete abandonment of the idiotic "region
coding" system. Praise Gawd for that. Reader Aaron Oakley points me toward this short-n-sweet article by ANU economist Dr. Alex Robson, telling us why Australia should have nowt' to do with the Kyoto Protocol. Aaron also
contributes his own fine
whacking to Hugh Mackay. Too much Mackay-whacking is never enough. Kick the left while they're down I say WarNow has some funnies today
and this
Heh.
