It might, after all, be a devise intended to lift (yank-up, hoist, elevate) the buttocks into a sense of perky firmness.<BR/><BR/>Alas, it failed in execution, leaving many a left and right buttock entirely uncontrolled in public places, much like poorly set jelly attempting to escape its surrounds.Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387674413840435759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-14276623123525849422008-04-28T11:04:00.000+10:002008-04-28T11:04:00.000+10:00Whenever I think of flattery, a quote by Wile E.

One can well take something as the sign of an evil heart AND a sign of cleverness!<BR/><BR/>As for the summiteers, I am sure it's very lovely to be told you are one of the brightest minds in Australia and therefore invited to a summit, but it seems these bright minds are just as easily manipulated by such flattery as ordinary minds that they can be turned to going ga-ga at the government because they've been told they're so brilliant.<BR/><BR/>Thanks caz.

I refuse to draw any parallels between this and the Rudd Government!* <BR/><BR/>The move should be good. I'll probably get the net up at home during the week, but will be online before then. Even if I do some furtive blogging at work, I'm sure I'll be online one way or another. <BR/><BR/><I>*Sorry.

I made the point on <A HREF="http://anonymouslefty.blogspot.com/2008/04/dear-right-wingers-would-you-like-free.html" REL="nofollow">Jeremy's blog the other day</A> that it's the irrational emotions (like irrational likes/dislikes) that we're the least aware of, because we are so caught up in them.TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-35290404865691496922008-04-25T16:24:00.000+10:002008-04-25T16:24:00.000+10:00Thanks for the referral to the Jack Marx column, w...Thanks for the referral to the Jack Marx column, which I had missed. I agree with his fundamental point about Kevin Rudd: some people seem to admire him for manipulative mind games; but if someone recognised such behaviour in (say) a co-worker or a friend's partner, they would rightly take it as a sign of an evil heart, not cleverness. <BR/><BR/>I also continue to be flabbergasted that John Quiggin can continue to assert that there were no people with an irrational hatred of John Howard, and use of the term "Howard haters" was a mere labelling tactic. He certainly can't have read Webdiary during the Howard years, or a wide variety of Fairfax journalists, or the LP crowd, etc etc.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04108945551064939734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-13623825017025437252008-04-25T15:48:00.000+10:002008-04-25T15:48:00.000+10:00That quotes from Lewis' 'Reflections on the Psalms...That quotes from Lewis' 'Reflections on the Psalms'. <BR/><BR/>Blogging might be a little light for the next coupla days as I'm moving house. <BR/><BR/>No, really!TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.com
