Election Year Roundup


At least, that's what it looks like it needs, to me.

Nice piece of land. Who and for what purpose did people toss trash on it?

SwampWoman said...

Whoever did probably has a nice case of redbugs and ticks.

I'm not sure whether the fellow with the Obama sign in his yard (a) supports Obama and is just too lazy to mow his lawn, or (b)used to support Obama and is waiting for nature to erase all traces of his former enthusiasm. I snuck into the guy's yard to take the picture and started to hear some big dogs barking, so I didn't stick around to discuss the matter.

I'm starting to see a lot of "Obama" signs around my town as well. If enough of them go up on my street, I'm putting up my own sign:

I'm not bitter, and I don't cling to God nor guns, but there's no way on God's green Earth will I EVER vote for a snob like Obama.

Hi PACO, glad someone's picking up the fun side of Tim's blog.

Tim's new home. The Daily Telegraph, from another Australian media source today.

"Is there anything Sydney's Daily Telegraph won't publish in its pursuit of circulation and notoriety?

Of course there is. The Telegraph has standards. It won't publish embarrassing or negative stories about its proprietor, his family or his business interests. And it's unlikely to publish -- for purely commercial reasons -- anything its readers would consider un-Australian or seditious.

Beyond that, as it demonstrated last Thursday with its seedy story naming and shaming a well-known singer who allegedly had sex with Australian soldiers in Afghanistan, according to a totally unsubstantiated Australian Army report, there is no cesspit too deep for the Telegraph's toxic journalism du jour to reach.

The Daily Telegraph is in trouble. Its audited weekday circulation is falling -- down from 406,000 in 2002 to the most recent audit of 366,000 and, apparently, still falling. If it is not yet a failing newspaper, it is a flailing newspaper. Handling issues of editorial integrity are minor. Getting talked about is everything.

Surely it is time for News Limited's chief John Hartigan, himself an old Telegraph hand, to step in and put a lid on the sewer."

Personally I think Tim fits in perfectly.

Anonymous, are you suggesting that the DT was the only Australian media outlet that published that story?
Shouldn't you should be criticising the Rudd government's Defence Minister who released the unsubstantiated story to a "select" list of 400 people?

Skeeter said...

Please delete one of the shoulds up there.

Paco, rather than Roundup, I suggest a good dose of Poultry and Cow Organic fertiliser on the weeds. Guaranteed to hide the sign overnight.

Penguin said...

Obama looking tired, his message obscured and disappearing? Is this a sign? (PI)

Boy on a bike said...

I'd prefer to go out into the backyard and find an enormous, steaming pile of bear shit than this sign.

But that's just my preference. Bears are much less dangerous than wingnuts with charisma.

SwampWoman said...

True dat on the bear shit. Bears don't try to confiscate money or guns. They don't worry about whether or not you cling to religion or drive a truck. They don't even care about global warming.

All they're interested in is the garbage and eating the pet food.

All in all, I'd prefer the bears, too.

What's the bet that this is actually because of a neighbourly feud? I mean, surely supporting Obama would be one of those things you wouldn't tell too many of your friends?
