News

Kevin Rudd our opposition leader visited a strip club, why that sort of news is news worthy I have no idea. 3 years ago to boot. I used to eat lovely meals at 3 am in Paris when I worked there back in the 1970s in strip clubs. It is just not a newsworthy event.

The money markets around the globe have gone crazy. Well I be it is a bit like hearing a guy has blown a million bucks down the casino. Who gives a fig. Here in Australia just about every news segment is proceeded by a financial update, which usually means a run down of the top stocks traded up and down. I have argued for a long time that for most of us we have no interest in stocks and shares and those that do will know in any case. It is a bit like sport who needs to know if player A hit player B and is being penalised for it. Which ever which way we get to hear this crap. And somehow we care.
Go read a blog or a book.
Woof.

I think we would all be better off here in the States if our politicians spent some time in strip clubs.

That includes Hilary Clinton.

The bleeding up and down of the stock exchange made me lose out on £200 with the exchange rate last week, so it bothered me a bit!

b.e. earl, from some of your stories of wild nights in hot steamy american cities I can well imagine your panache for strip clubs.

Vi I know pounds are hard to come by and loosing some on exchange rates ain't fun. I'll give you some Aussie dollars when you come over.

Woof to both of you.
