How annoying
I popped by The Australian's website yesterday, poked around a little, and made a comment at editor Paul Kelly's blog. Went back later to look at my comment in all its glory - number 85 or more it would have been - and Kelly for some reason has deleted his entire post! His post of 14/12/06 is missing, and as of today the latest post displayed is from 5/12/06. As I say - how annoying!
Kelly was going on about how - to paraphrase - the future Rudd federal government is going to have to change its attitude from one of pandering to its constituents, to instead a focus on pro-market reforms. Howard apparently has dropped the ball on "pro-market reforms." But what struck me was the assumption made that opposition leader Rudd will be the next to govern.
So I said to him, I said "So we hear it straight from the horse's mouth - or from the chief strapper actually - Rudd will be IN at the next election. It's good to know what the future holds in store for us. Thanks Paul!"
Now, with that comment, I can't help but feel that I completely made the man my bitch (please don't take offense ladies - I'm having a guy moment - all for the greater good). And I must confess that I harbour the notion that he may have deleted the whole post because of comments like the one I made.
But that's not the end of it. If Kelly deleted that post due to embarassment, the embarassment as I see it wasn't merely due to an oversight or simple error on his part - it was due to the exposure of the real nature of his relationship to power. Tickets on myself, I know, but he is the chief strapper, and we're all so fucking dumb around here - stupid and dumb and compromised - we can't bring ourselved to see it as it is. He, on any given day, wields as much power as the PM does. And we've all been so pre-occupied with getting ahead or getting off that we hardly noticed that they stopped teaching kids how to think critically a long while ago, that we're one of those kids that never learnt how to think. And the shit the Paul Kellys of this world get away with, on their own behalf, and on behalf of their masters!
You, Paul Kelly, editor of The Australian newspaper, are on notice: You are a piece of shit, and I know you to be a piece of shit. I have your number, and whenever I get the inclination, I'm gonna peel you like the over-priced banana you are. You'd be well advised to take early retirement actually, coz things are gonna get messy for the likes of you in the very near future if you choose to hang around.
And I hope there are many more days like this in the future, where the evidence indicates that someone who isn't filling your pockets with money has made you their bitch. Bitch.
Update: Ah! His post hasn't been deleted - it is merely very well hidden! You must click to view his December 5 post, then click on his name, and this will give you a page which displays evidence that there is a post made on December 14. Simply click on that, and you may read Paul Kelly's latest blog entry. Funny how the steady stream of comments come to a sudden halt a few hours after my 12.08pm 15/12 comment. Nice to think I may have been one of the straws which broke this camlet's back.
Pity that the editor of Australia's only national daily newspaper sees fit to hide in cyberspace when the going gets tough.
