Sydney Comedian takes APEC dogs for ‘run’ - National Social/Political

Rodney Rude once did a skit on a dog that licked his mate’s acid tab off the coffee table then pulled its collar over its forehead – thought it was Willie Nelson – started singing, “on the road again, going out to sniff some arseholes with my friends again!” And therein lies the tale of the canine sniffer nose. Sufficient amounts of bitch ‘heat’ pheromone and dog arsehole pheromone and you could smuggle a truckload of gelly anywhere you wish; this is an illustration NOT an instruction – I fear the dogs may be smarter than the ‘pigs.’

Surely our stunningly stupid security forces have realised by now that the threat lies within, food, water and/or atmospheric devices as successfully utilised by Russian security to neutralise a group of terrorists and kill half the hostages! Not to mention sleepers within the security forces themselves. Have we forgotten Robert Hanssen so soon? The Russian mole with the highest U.S. security clearance available; Hanssen had relayed to Moscow all ultra-sensitive military and safe locations for the president and pentagon officials in the event of war. At that stage the Russians had won a military engagement had they chosen to pursue it, pity the same sanity is not evident in the U.S. administration; neo-cons armed with similar strategic information would have attacked without hesitation – know the difference!

Australian society is a strange mix, a slightly schizophrenic society (Kelly-colonial) that could easily harbour myriad of agents, freedom fighters/terrorists/rebels and of course, conservative mass murderers. One aspect of Oz culture has never embraced the other – the colonial cringe that Howard and his conservative supporters personify and the rebel immigrant spirit immortalised in the legend of Ned Kelly. Locals are acutely aware of the cultural dichotomy whereas foreigners, particularly Yanks, imagine we are all little ‘Johnny Howards’ at heart and only a tiny proportion of Aussies embody the rebel or Kelly spirit – we can all have a good laugh at that huge misconception.

So it is with some amusement that locals read the sniffer headline, clearly designed for foreign consumption -- an ingenious ‘event’ in the Aussie tradition would surprise no one!

Another headline features the Federal Treasurer, Peter ‘supercilious prick’ Costello, suffering from Melbourne-Sydney competition, stating that “Sydney residents should grin and bear APEC disruptions for the good of Australia.” We will do our part, however, we do require an apology from Bush for the massive disruption his change of plans has caused.
