Hats off to you FD.
A rich dish, full of classic ingredients and topped off with a beautiful finish. 🙂

Dear Doggy,

I liked your childhood nightmares job so much I wrote a piece for ABC’s Unleashed. Col Davis and the Scarlet Pimpernel were my fears. I dropped attributions to you for the idea all over the place….. look ….. here…….. and there ….

Would it be OK for me to borrow your cartoon for a day ? Promise I won’t leave it out in the rain or let Mick Cleary near it.

Cheers,

Mike

Joe Hockey in the boot, getting stoned by a rasta bike rider blowing sidestream through a bullet hole. And the truck drives into the ocean where Colin Barnett wants to put the LNG hub north of Broome, despite the gas companies not wanting to go there.

What a beautiful image. Obviously Sloppy Joe is munching on the decaying corpse on the preselected member for Durack. Who at the next election will be 76.

Fresh.

love ya work.

Problem: Kevin Rudd over at the G something 14, 20 or whatever it is, now says we have to wean of this stimulus debt. In other words agrees with the thrust of the Turnbull critique.

WTF?

Just like Rudd refers to methodical consular process for Hu, but now says he is willing to make personal representations too.

It’s all a moving feast First Dog and the food bowel is sliding around and as you know don’t get your hand between the pooch and the food, no matter how gentle, it’s in their nature to bite!

Is Malcolm the Mad trying to convince the electorate THAT HE actually drives the bloody thing? And why does he always looks as if someone had thrust a bayonet up his jacksie?
No Christopher Pyne, that doesn’t mean you. Classic!
FD Do you think it would be difficult to suggest Christopher Pyne’s joyous yelping vibrato on the day he catches up to that damned unicorn?
