Random Monday

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I did. So how are you going with my new competition. 'Who's Boobs' have you had a chance to guess who owns the boobs. here are some hints; 1. She is an actor 2. She likes to go commando 3. She was a Disney Princess I hope that's enough clues for you. So check out them boobs and have a go at guessing. Now on a more random note what is it with leaders pushing their own agendas, it annoys me so much, you are elected to represent the people not yourself! here is an excerpt from my book Collateral Damage Illustrations and essays about the state of the world in the new millennium. Follow The Leaders? What is it with politics that seems to bring out all the schemers, those manipulative horrible people that most would scorn in the everyday world, yet when it comes to politics it seems that those very traits which are abhorrent to everyday people are the very things which are held in high regard in politics. It seems that wheeling and dealing, underhanded deals, contra deals and exploitation are the backbone of politics. When someone is caught stealing in their workplace they face instant dismal, when someone is not doing their job properly they face dismal.  Yet when a politician is hired to do his job and doesn’t do it properly he is patted on the back and if it’s really bad he is just moved to a different portfolio. Since when do we reward incompetence, not in the world I live and work in? Yet it seems that it is OK in politics. I use the prime example of the Australian Wheat Board. Now here we have the ultimate in hypocrisy, the Australian Wheat board was paying kick backs to the Saddam Hussein regime. The very regime that they despised so much, the very regime that they wanted out of Iraq. Now when the foreign Minister was alerted to this fact, on several and I mean several occasions, he comes out and says he doesn’t look at all the memos. Hang on a minute, isn’t that your fucking job? So why are you still in your job, you as an elected representative of the people and you don’t read all your memos, then you don’t do your job. I’m sorry but I think that you owe it to the very people who elected you to resign, I mean after all if you can’t read all your memo’s your not doing your job so step aside and let some one who maybe sees representing the people as an honour and will read all the memos. This is the major problem with all elected leaders, once in power after being elected they very rarely represent the very people who put them in power, instead they seem to push their own agendas.  It is an insult to the democratic process when elected leaders can take it upon themselves to do as they please. I mean in all honesty did Americans really truly want to go to war. I do believe it was there president who decided. Clearly something needs to be done. In the case of the war in Iraq, everything that the American Government said to justify a war was a lie. Why do we have to put up with liars?  Why do we?  I had an idea that in this day and age of mobile phones and Internet that the governments must run a poll on every policy that they plan to implement? Don’t tell me about the cost, as that is just an excuse. One number equals one vote. Using the database that they already have, they can then tally up the votes (they seem to be able to do it on American Idol). Then and only then can the policy be implemented?  This way every government is then truly representing the people. That way they don’t get 4 years of being able to do as they please. Bring on full accountability, maybe then we might see less wars being waged and governments truly representing the people. Apologies for the politics on a Monday but it seems that more and more governments can do whatever the FUCK they like, right now we have a media blackout on asylum seekers in OZ, how fucked up is that!
