However,

regarding the family

Catherine is taking on:
Here are the coats of arms of Uncle Andy and Uncle Prick Chuck:

This is the Andrew lion and unicorn
enlarged and calm loins -

and this is Prince Charles very excited unicorn and lion loins -

Has this princely priapism

been discussed historically and I missed it all?

Resurrection

Easter is not a sensible time to drive four hours on the A300 from Mt. Buninyong, and then the B110, and today I proved my senselessness.

The traffic into Queenscliffe crawled along for miles before the turnoff, slower than walking pace.

The ferry over to Sorrento was so packed that the movable mezzanine level was lowered, loaded and raised to cram 54 cars above and below

BUT

as He was risen and renewed on the third day when the stone was rolled away,

the 5pm sun setting over Geelong was my magical moment of reward,

and what at first looked Godly,

was merely our stratosphere struttin' its' stuff.

Use your Easter Monday to celebrate stirrers of every place and time - not just Christ, J., but Bradley Manning too, and every other provocateur The System tries to quash.

not easy being Queen

The Queen was born

Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary

at 2.40am
on April 21 1926
at 17 Bruton Street, Mayfair,

the home of her mother's parents,

the Earl and Countess of Strathmore.
She was the great-great-grandchild

of Queen Victoria, and she is Head of State,

the Armed Forces, the Commonwealth and

the Church of England, and

has been married to the Duke of Edinburgh

for more than 63 years.

Her Aries horoscope from Shelley von Strunckel via TATLER magazine's current issue says:

'You know that certain restrictive habits and activities must go, but feel stuck.'

Indeed.

I hope she has a happy birthday. If I were her I would string all the tiaras up my arms and laugh like a madwoman.

anodyne fail

from The Age this morning:
'Social security and welfare account for 32 per cent of the federal budget. That's $115 billion a year - three times the education budget and twice the health budget.
The disability support pension alone, which is more generous and subject to fewer work tests than the dole, costs $13 billion, the fifth largest single Commonwealth expense.'
Now hang on a sec ...
That frightening figure of $115 billion above, is NOT the amount dispersed to the needy. It is in fact, the cost of welfare plus administering the amount dispersed to the needy.
It includes the cost of flying to Canberra, every single month, 300 Centrelink Managers, and their accommodation and expenses.
It also includes the cost of leasing Centrelink office buildings across the country. It includes the cost of fitting out their staff rooms with 3-door refrigerators, microwaves, and all equipment and supplies for morning and afternoon staff refreshment. It includes the cost of security systems for these buildings, and the cost of heating them in winter to a tropical standard.

It includes the cost of highly sophisticated computerised telephone systems for 100+ staff, so that when I clocked on at 8am and took the first call from the phone box on Coochiemudlo Island, and said
"good morning this is Annie, how can I help you?"
the caller could say
"me money's not in".
It includes the cost of running the stupendous software allowing Annie to instantly get onscreen every detail of that person's situation.

The '$115 billion' includes the stupendous cost of hiring Centrelink staff, who have a high burn-out rate, mainly due to the many abusive and obscene calls they take, that they know they cannot report to their manager (the one flown to Canberra every month for debriefing).

Centrelink staff are trained for 10 days intensely, by human-resource companies with criminal accounting practices, making a killing from their billing.

The $115B includes the cost of these Centrelink claims:
'We have over 300 Customer Service Centres Australia-wide, more than 500 Agents and Access Points in rural and remote areas and other specialist outlets.
Compensation advisory service - state-based Centrelink teams provide services for customers, solicitors and other organisations regarding compensation issues.'

It includes the cost of subsidising the wages of hundreds of Sudanese refugee men who work in slaughterhouses across regional Australia, and the cost of dozens of people employed to administer these refugees assimilation.

Is Julia's Labor government so resentful at their narrowest of electoral margins that they are turning on their traditional voters - the needy.
That '$115 Billion' is a deliberately misleading gross figure used to frighten the people who do work hard, into thinking they are being used, when they could equally feel philanthropic.
Governments of all countries rely on the majority of their electorate not examining any of their pronouncements, and the majority do not.

This links to a feature in The Age with profiles of some 'battlers', and the stories show that their 'battle' is mainly with not being very bright.
That returns the thread to our education system - the system The Age says gets an amount equal to only one third of our spend on Centrelink. Mike Moore would say "Hmmmmmmmmmmmm"

Divine retribution

Roof collapses on abbatoir workers Herald Sun
Abattoir worker dies after roof collapses
Sydney Morning Herald - Stephanie Gardiner - ‎28 minutes ago‎
A man has died after a roof collapsed at an abattoir. NSW Hunter Valley emergency services attended the Primo Smallgoods abattoir ...

The voodoo continues to succeed. I do not repent. And I am weary of people mentioning that Adolf the Austrian was a vego. There are no vegetarians in the news pages of paed0philes, rap1sts, or guys who chuck their children from bridges. There are no vegetarians in the bowel cancer wards either.
La vache qui rit, and I, both have something to rit about today and I am riting like mad. A pox on all abbatoirs - they are all foreign owned too, as if you care.

Dairy cows have a rotten life, their calves are born when the frost is heavy on the grass, and ripped away from them so WE can have the milk which results. The male calves have a really bad time at the saleyards before they become the veal for your $12 Parma & Pot. The female calves retained to add to the herd, bawl all night for their mothers, so a clever farmer invented rubber gobstoppers for them. The Weekly Times is a horrific, but very political read if you dare try. Do not buy supermarket chain milk which rips off the farmers, because the less money the milk earns, the less care the herd gets.
I wish I had not gone for the Weekly Times link where this upset me -Cow damage slows CityLink traffic
Fkn foreign owned 'CITYLINK was forced to close the centre lane of the Domain Tunnel after a cow reared in a truck and it's head hit a low-clearance overhead sign.'
I SO HATE ALL TRUCK DRIVERS. MORONS.
