Am in a reflective mood since waking up to the news the DJIA got castrated last night
Let me tell you a story ...
My father was part of the old school way of thinking he was hard working, hard drinking (an after work regular at the Greyhound pub in Kew) and hard gambling (horses - a daily doubles man he believed he had a terrific winning system lol)
He owned a small business and was always a red hot liberal I remember him telling me when I turned 18 that he didn`t mind who I voted for as long as I didn`t register a donkey vote, for the good of the country
Having never been really interested in politics or fanatical political followers I have always been a swinging voter swaying towards the populist view at that particular time in history
Well don`t I feel like a right ol` donkey now cos I voted for Rudd in the last election I was tired of John Winston Howard and believed Rudd`s super spin media savvy rhetoric
In the dictionary rhetoric has several meanings 1 "The art or study of using language effectively and persuasively" 2 Language that is elaborate, pretentious, insincere, or intellectually vacuous
At the last election I believed number 1 now everytime I see actor, comrade, mate to the sheeple Rudd on tv I see 2 (Language that is elaborate, pretentious, insincere, or intellectually vacuous)
Fool me once Prime Minister, Shame on You, Fool Me Twice, Shame on Me
