A champagne socialist reflects on Western culture and the Universe... and whilst gazing at his navel, he comes up with a lot of useless lint. It is the fruits of this navel-gazing that form the substance of this blog.

Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson has been running the line (which by the way is quite a clever and humorous line, but it is not Anderson's creation) that the Greens are "watermelons": They're green on the outside, but they're very very red on the inside, if you know what he means. And I have this to say.....

John Anderson is right when he says that the Greens are "very red on the inside". Inside them they actually have a heart that beats, and it beats RED blood. This is more than I can say for the Liberal-National Coalition.

The Liberals accuse Labor of taking direction from the Greens. Well it's better than taking direction from One Nation isn't it?

Oh and another thing... now that Pauline Hanson has announced her return to politics, Pauline and I at last agree on something. She has to have have rocks in her head.

Just a thought - I wonder if any secret service people have ever wanted to pull a gun on Dubya?

There was a green house.
Inside the green house there was a white house
Inside the white house there was a red house.
Inside the red house there were lots of babies.

What is it?

According to MediaWatch, for several weeks prior to John Anderson's appropriation of it, the term 'Watermelons' was used by John Laws on his cash for comment soapbox - er, I mean radio show. You'd have hoped that Anderson would have been smart enough to come up with his OWN witty epithet, rather than indugling in such an obvious rip-off, but obviously not.

What would Lawsy say? 'When you find something good - steal it.'

I am reminded of by far the most accurate description I ever heard of the Conservative Party in the UK.
'The Tories - the cream of Britain. (Rich, thick and full of clots.)'
