Feudalism On The March

Americans hate Australians because they are so much like us (filthy criminals, every one of us & them); I express the hate because their kangaroo-infested hell in the middle of where the 'planes disappear is too far away for them to get to me. Now the recently new Prime Minister (staunchly monarchist) of Dingoville has decided his nation of inbred sheep-fuckmolesters doesn't have enough class. As he's in office, they obviously don't, but the class this ass wants is more class division, not an increase in sophistication.

Mr. Monarchy decided that Oz should return to the discarded practice of calling not merely eminent but "pre-eminent" descendants of low lifes & remittance men* knights & dames of the Order of Australia, all of which has something to w/ that Elizabeth II woman who lives on the other side of the world entirely from koala country yet exercises an almost mystical power over the Bruces & Sheilas†. Does she own half the fucking continent or something?

And Abbott – who didn’t talk to either his cabinet or his party room about this big idea and who has long been a warrior for the monarchy – was clearly thoroughly enjoying this wielding of executive power. During Tuesday’s news conference he could barely disguise his grin. On Sky News, shortly afterwards, his attorney general, George Brandis, didn’t even try to.

Smarmy smirking assholes/glibertarian buffoons, but who the fuck else would fantasize about being a "knight?"

And so no one thinks I spout only the party line:

I’ve no issue with either of the first two recipients – outgoing governor general Quentin Bryce and her successor, Peter Cosgrove, are worthy gongees both – or with the kinds of people the prime minister said he intended to honour in the future, chief justices and chiefs of the defence force and the like.

Sheer crap. Stupid Aussies should be honoured enough to have served (& no doubt to have enriched themselves at the public trough in their yrs. of service) in such high positions, they needn't give each other awards as if this were show biznis. Indeed, such defenders of the status quo should not be considered for any honours beyond tarring & feathering.

*Note to the New World & places like Australia: Your ancestors left the old country & the Old World for many reasons. That they were wonderful to be around & that absolutely everybody liked them are not among the reasons. Bear that in mind, exceptionalists.

†Geeze, is it 1957 in my head?
