Fellow travellers, why am I not surprised that the appalling Andrew Bolt is crying media bias again! This time, he thinks it's unfair that a "joke" told by Tony Abbott (no doubt one he thought was dead, buried and cremated!) has been exhumed and used against him. And why, asks the hateful reactionary, aren't journalists doing the same with aspects of Julia Gillard's earlier life?

Well, it's simply because sassy sister - now PM, and about time - Julia (yougogirl!) has nothing whatsoever to be a...

Fellow travellers, as we all know today is Anzac Day, surely the most racist, sexist, homophobic and Gaia-phobic ritual we Australians have (and we have quite a few!).

Really, why we still allow this grotesque festival of hate to continue is completely beyond me! I mean, it is nothing less than the overt and shameless glorification of war. High ranking officials actually line up to celebrate acts of mass murder, which peenie-waving patriarchs describe, in their usual deceitful way, as "acts of...

Fellow travellers, I'm sure many of you will remember Claire Werbeloff, who enjoyed a brief period of "stardom" after pretending to witness a shooting at Kings Cross.

Well, she has made the news again! It seems that she has been asked to be a Liberal candidate for the seat of Bradfield. As this article says, that appalling men's magazine Zoo Weekly has offered to pay for her to run.

You know the Liberal Party is simply beyond hope when they are commissioning these appallingly sexist peenie wav...

Fellow travelers, it's almost appropriate that the horse who won this year's Melbourne Cup was called Shocking, because I found the whole exercize shocking in the extreme. In fact it wasn't just shocking. It was appalling!

Firstly, it was extremely elitist, as races invariably are. Finding the fastest horse was highly discriminatory, since horses have a lot more to offer than just speed. And I'm sure they don't judge themselves merely by that criterion. Were their values considered? Of course ...

That appalling oil spill off the Western Australian coast has prompted a brave protest in which sassy sisters in bikinis covered themselves in oil and paraded in front of the Perth offices of the evil corporation responsible for the catastrophe.

While I heartily endorse the statement that these feisty feminist fellow travellers were making with their protest, did they really have to confirm the dominant paradigm of phallocentric lookism to make their point? While they weren't quite participati...

I never thought that I would be thanking an AmeriKKKan for his contribution to Australian culture. After all, their appalling entertainment industry dominates ours to the point that we might as well be their fifty first state! But I have to say a big "thank you!" to Harry Connick junior for his courageous act of defiance on Hey Hey It's Saturday!

Appalling racists in the media have made much of the fact that the Jackson Jive were mostly non-white members of racial minorities. So for white peop...
