  1. Mainstream media in Australia might finally be starting to wake-up and call-out Trump and his cronies.

    Years ago, the Sun-Herald used to be Sydney's broadsheet newspaper, but it has long since lost its sense of balance and political teeth after being bought-out by a succession of increasingly right-wing media moguls. It's quite remarkable that they're printing a headline like this now.

    The headline is a reference to a sledge aimed at cowardly, right-wing, yes-men for their support for the invasion of Iraq, "There they are a conga line of suckholes on the conservative side of politics." It was delivered by former ALP Leader of the Opposition and aspiring PM, Mark Latham (when he still sounded sane; long before he got RWNJ brainworms). I've always wondered about that particular line, and mused that his speechwriters were tapping into a vein of former Prime Minster, Paul Keating. He once said John Howard was "Like a shiver waiting for a spine to crawl up."

    Amusingly, the subeditor misnamed Jeff Bezos as "Geoff Bezos" in the caption.

  2. #MarkLatham calls the thought of #gay #sex “puke worthy”… so we’re pretty sure he wants to have #gay #sex

    When expresses such #passionate #views against our community, it makes a person question why someone such as Latham is so #preoccupied with this particular #topic, and, how, ahem, fiercely he responds to it.
