One Labor Party. One Goal.

Kevin Rudd is right that the Labor Party is "sick" and needs reforming. The faction deal-makers and self-appointed geniuses have almost destroyed the Party, just as the faceless men did in the 1960s. Back then Gough Whitlam seized control of the Party. It is time for another leader to do the same, to crash through or crash. If this is not done Labor will simply collapse. I was a Labor voter all my life until the self-appointed factional geniuses deposed Kevin Rudd in 2010. I will never vote for it again until the geniuses are crushed, broken, humiliated, cast aside, and forced into retirement. In other words, they have to go. All of them. "One Party. One Goal." If Labor cannot honestly put that up as its guiding mantra, and soon, it is doomed

The Greatest Joke in History

I have waited 40 years for this. Clifford Irving has put his notorious (hoax) "Autobiography of Howard Hughes" up on Amazon as an ebook, along with "The Hoax", his prison diaries, the out of print "Fake!", his (true) biography of art forger Elmyr de Hory, and ten other books including his novels. I have downloaded five. That's my Christmas reading sorted. Happy Christmas Mr. Irving. I will read the books and watch Orson Welles' film "F for Fake" again. Some jokes just get funnier, even after 40 years.
