Iraq – unstable country in the early throes of democracy.
East Timor – unstable country in the early throes of democracy.
So what does Chairman Rudd do?
Iraq – pull troops out.
East Timor – put more troops in.
He’s wrong, wrong, wrong.
Hillary Clinton always goes on about her experience. In the battle of Obama vs Hillary, it’s usually some trite “vision vs experience” thing. I’ve been asking every Seppo (American – Yank – Septic Tank – Seppo) I know: what is her experience?
It seems the Wall Street Journal is asking the same question, here
It’s a great article, required reading.
Don’t send a goose to do a man’s job:
James Brayshaw wants to tap the riches of the very wealthy to bolster the finances of the North Melbourne Football Club. He’s talking about targeting
high network individuals.
Oh dear. …I think the term is “high net worth individuals”, James.
Remember this article in years to come when the wheels have fallen off the Brayshaw Presidency.
His plan, in his words:
You lend us the money, we’ll use it to raise revenue and capital over the next 10 years and then at the end of that you get it back.
That may be the entire Product Disclosure Agreement, right there. Written in crayon. If any high network individuals are reading this and think that sounds like a good plan – lending Brayshaw and the North Melbourne Football clubs your money so they can play with it – well I’ve got some high quality swamp land to sell you.
Years ago the left – unions, Labor Party, etc. – created White Australia, to prevent the yellow hordes streaming into the country. They were afraid that the cheap labour would undermine the wages of “true Australians”. Now the conspiracy of labour wants us to cut the development of the third world through restrictions on development in an effort to “save the planet”.
In claiming that developing countries will destroy the environment if they develop capitalist, complex economies (and ensure the poorest people on earth become better off as a result), it becomes a battle of poverty vs the environment. So – which one will they choose? To “Make Poverty History”, or “Save the Environment”?
Will we see the anti-poverty NGOs battle the green NGOs any time soon?
In a move which mimics the Serie A Scudetto, where the winner of the previous year’s premiership is allowed the honour of wearing the Italian flag on their guernseys, Geelong will wear a gold AFL logo on their guernseys for the duration of the 2008 AFL season.
It’s a good move.
