I have three weeks to write the first chapter of my honours dissertation. Eep.
The thinking Laborite would as lief be found in bed with a cobra as in a committee room armed with "arguments" from the Tory press." Truth, Perth, 19 June 1915.
[NL] Vaara is an American ex-pat in Amsterdam, who covers gay rights and the stupidity of the Bush administration. Which gives him plenty to write about. I met him when he visited Perth; he's a top bloke.
Liam Hogan is a Young Labor Left comrade. RWDBs are nothing compared with the real-life trolls of the NSW Right, so he's well equipped for the task.
His photoshops are pretty good, but the rest of it? Meh.
Dave Murray's left-wing summary of the latest political news is always worth reading.

Having seen your thought processes in action, I can understand WHY this was a problem for you Rob.
Before you again block this section too, I’ll wish you good luck [I can understand why you'll need it with writing it]
Ah Rob, I’ve been (up till this point) so gentle with your intellectual problems. Why did you have to provoke me again by barring me?
Since you obviously have such little respect for the intellectual capacities of the rest of us, why don’t you just… go away?
I am only a Maths teacher Jonathan but I can understand why someone would want to help you. Show more appreciation.
I’ve spent considerable time and gained a lot of pleasure, Johnathan, working with and helping people at ALL levels of the intellectual spectrum. It’s a tremendous thrill, for me anyway, to see someone lift his performance over & above what was predicted.
I have enormous patience with those trying to do their best. Perhaps, though, I’m sometimes a little sharp with posers, especially if they’re very trying, without actually trying?
Methinks a couple of somebodies have a bit of an ego problem.
Encounters with nobodies [if I can adopt a similar phraseology to yours, Jonathan] can have that effect; but only if you’re foolish enough to lower your own personal standards to match theirs. On the other hand, it can sometimes cause hurt for nobodies, if you’re not careful to avoid applying your own expectations to them.
Unfortunately, Jonathan, try as I might, where a pontificating nobody is so carried away that he’s completely oblivious to his own shortcomings, even though I have tried kindly to help him, and it;s done to help him, it can be interpreted as having been just a little cruel.
p.s., Jonathan, it also may become extremely difficult, if you really want to help him, to avoid sounding patronising?
