Of course Flannery had the weekend, the NSW election result, and the Labor Party heavies with their knees in his chest and their knuckle dusters around at his place, to try and mend his 1000 years gaffe.
So now he comes up with a letter qualifying what he said. But he didn't just state the 1000 years timetable once - he said it twice!
(Imagine Gillard's been on the 'phone too - absolutely livid - and shouting!)
Well, in 1000 years, humanity will be flying all over the Universe. Perhaps their won't be humans on earth any more! Looking at the progress made in the 20th century - from horse and cart to computers and beyond, anything is possible.
Don't think there'll still be a Gillard and a Swan descendant combo still poring over the books, and trying to balance the budget by inflicting stupid, unecessary, and unexplainable taxes onto an angry populace. And Tim Flannery will be long forgotten.
We're being governed by Clowns in Canberra - and I for one don't find them in the least funny. They're playing with people's very lives - and I loathe and detest them for it.
Talking of lives - wonder if anyone in the Labor Party remembers and pays their respects to the families of the four young people the Pink Batts scheme (directly) killed.
