OK - lets have a showdown between the lunatics. Jesus vs. Charles Manson - who is the most insane? The psychopathic saviour with his crap in sacred scripture, or the bonafide fruit cake. Welcome to the psychotic side show circus - with our first episode: I can't draw up two columns and do the he said, she said shit.... I mean you can't compare what one said to what the other said... So we shall start off with Manson - because he is simple, and an idiot - and a few lines of his "quotes" from his fan club site and the rest can be summed up with "Blah, blah, blah blah." " I'm not very wise to many things. " " I'm playing for my life. You're working for money. " " I'm still 10 years old in your world. " " I'm stupid to the point where I'm not really sure. "  "Blah, blah, blah blah." *I find Manson's interviews hard to watch and the t...

http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/12/18/the-prison-crisis-in-the-uk/ December 18, 2014    From Rehabilitation to Punishment The Prison Crisis in the UK by PETER STÄUBER London. During his three years behind bars, Alex Cavendish learned many things. He learned, for example, that serving a cold sandwich instead of a cooked meal can be dangerous – food is one of the things that keep prisoners going, and disruption of that routine leads to frustration: ‘I’ve been in a prison where there was a riot as a consequence of a meal being cancelled’, says Cavendish, who has gone through six different penal institutions across England and Wales and worked as a mentor for other prisoners. He has learned about the problem of indebtedness in prisons (‘If you think payday loans are bad, go borrow off another inmate…’), about bullying, violence and sexual abuse. And he has seen how the state of prisons has gone from bad to critical. The public has seen glimpses of the crisi...

http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/12/18/the-unspeakable-in-afghanistan/ It Wasn't a Good Year The Unspeakable in Afghanistan by PAT KENNELLY   2014 marks the deadliest year in Afghanistan for civilians, fighters, and foreigners. The situation has reached a new low as the myth of the Afghan state continues. Thirteen years into America’s longest war, the international community argues that Afghanistan is growing stronger, despite nearly all indicators suggesting otherwise. Most recently, the central government failed (again) to conduct fair and organized elections or demonstrate their sovereignty. Instead, John Kerry flew into the country and arranged new national leadership. The cameras rolled and a unity government was declared.  Foreign leaders meeting in London decided on new aid packages and financing for the nascent ‘unity government.’ Within days, the United Nations helped broker a deal to keep foreign forces in the country, while simultaneously President O...

 http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/12/18/whitewashing-cia-torture/   (Take out a monthly subscription, just to support them - $10 is a good deal for real issues on the agenda, instead of Rupert Murdoch based bullshit. Trust me on this, as I am a totally tight arsed, cynical sort of a cunt - and it's one of the few news services that I am willing to pay for.)   December 18, 2014    “We Are [not so] Awesome” After All Whitewashing CIA Torture by RAMZY BAROUD   The logic that torture is a “stain” on US history is the heart of the problem, since it blocks an honest reading of whatever “values” Washington actually stands for. “This is not who we are. This is not how we operate,” were the words of President Barack Obama commenting on the grisly findings of a long-awaited congressional report on the use of torture by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). But what if this is exactly who we are ? The report is difficult to read , not just...

Arrrrhhh gotta love the shit head tradies, that come to replace a $10 washer with $250 worth of valve. My toilet bowl is a little loose - bonded to the slab, screwed down, and the thing was probably sat on and used while the cement was a little soft, thus breaking the bowl loose. A small mound of cement on the bottom of the bowl and a small crater in the concrete... The wobbling bowl, when wiping ones arse, means that the bowl wiggles the pipe going to the cistern, which wiggles a bit and loosens the copper pipe fitting to the cistern, which creates a small leak.... Hence the bucket flush.... So I arranged for a plumber to come..... Only I am fucking smart and this dumb cunt thinks he can put one over me. My idea... bring a water type pressure cleaner, clean the concrete mound on the bowl base and clean the crater, to remove all dust and loose cement and then use a touch of compressed air to remove all loose water, and then bond the two together with a fast setting silicone, and a stif...

"Oh in the days of email.." So an so, said, this, that and the other... Etc., etc., etc. Etc., etc., etc. Etc., etc., etc. And it's all going PUBLIC.... Oh noes..... I wish to the fuck that this chaff for the simpletons had not of been hacked and released... It's dreadful. A dreadful waste of time, space and resources.

OK... I have added 3 similar versions and one variant or offshootof the main theme here as each story has a similar content but different details... Doing this gives a more granular perspective. Basically speaking, the NEW and EXTRA smart meter charges are a fucking scam - time to put the Auditor General, Australian Energy Regulator and the power company thieves in gaol, sell their assets,  To explain how the PCA or Power Company Accounting works, they reduce their costs by $100, so they then add $200 to your bill on a recurring basis, for the improvements in efficiency and cost savings, that they refuse to hand on to you, by their spiralling bills that rise at 200 times the Consumer Price Index. The idea of eliminating the old analog metering system, meant that meter readers (people on foot) could be eliminated = a cost reduction of say $5 or $10 a meter, 4 times a year... In power company terms, that means they save $100 a year, and add a $200 annual recurring meter fee to your b...
