Political Pickings

Whilst sitting at work one day, bored shitless with nothing to do, I decided to jump online and hassle other people equally as bored as I. I managed to find someone who was almost in a comatose state due to boredom so I challenged this person to write me a blogpost and I got the following rant about the state of WA politics. Most of you who know me know that I love my pollies and all their wacky antics, so I found the post a bit of a titter. If you want to have a punt at writing a blog post, but find you have the skills but no ability to create more than 1 post a month - then bump the article over my way. If I like, I post.

enjoy.

I just can’t let go of all of the corruption scandals in both State and Federal politics that has been reported by sexy Sue and ravishing Rick on Channel 7 news of late.

The smugness of media presenters whilst reading these stories on the nightly news, was the first tip off that something is totally wrong… The smugness is caused by the simple truth that the media thinks that they are actually whistleblowing and holding parliaments accountable – however, they couldn’t be further from the truth. True whistleblowing, ethically defined, is reporting a subset of corrupt individuals within an organisation. It is definitely not whistleblowing when you’re just complaining about one corrupt individual (state politics, as shown with the Marlborough case) and it is not whistleblowing if the entire organisation is corrupt (federal politics…with just about everything). Therefore, the news is not whistleblowing, nor is it a tool to keep those in public office accountable to the public… it is just simply entertainment. It is a satire on those in the public life. Therefore, if you do not giggle uncontrollably whilst watching the news, or reading the newspaper, this means that you have no sense of humour, and do not appreciate satirical humour. SO LAUGH PEOPLE.

Next we must look at the definition of corruption. According to my reliable internet google search, is “use of a position of trust for dishonest gain”. However, I just can’t condone the sacking of Ministers and the like over corruption using this definition – after all, nearly all people in positions of power and trust, need to deceive the public just a little bit.

Otherwise, there would be worldwide panic when the mass public realised that in fact, North Korea has weapons of mutually assured destruction that could kill us all with the press of a button…Or that George Bush really is a bumbling idiot that does not have basic intelligence, and is really just a puppet, whose strings are pulled by weirdo policy advisors that have been smoking too much crack…wha? We already know this? Why aren’t we panicking?

This brings me to my final point – there are very clever people in the private sector, for example, brothel owners – why can’t these people lead the country? The reason is because if you pay peanuts, such as the wages offered to those considering entering public office, you get monkeys. Monkeys open to corruption, and bribery from those outside of politics. Sex pays better, so they choose to stay in that industry.

So in conclusion, don’t pay any attention to the news, or what people in public office are doing – just keep laughing, and vote to INCREASE politicians wages. And I assure you, it will all work out in the end.

We’ll have a parliament full of crack whores and bumbling idiots…

oh wait… too late.

Perth wrestling - part 2

After my post on NSWA-E, Ive been getting a few interesting eMails. Most of them were positive, but 3 were quite amusing to say nonetheless. Now, I might as well take this time to address some of the comments that were said. So here goes…

Why don’t you go and die and fuck yourself? No I wont just go and die and fuck myself unfortunately its quite difficult to fuck ones self once you’ve passed away. Its a shame tho, Michael Hutchence was a believer that in that philosophy…

So why did I take the piss out of this particular company? Well, in all honesty I didn’t choose to do it, it just all happened. When a wrestling fan sees a show that is being hosted within 10 mins from his house well, you just cant say no to that. Yes, I do know about the other companies in WA that also operate, but given they are on the other side of Perth - I have no real motivation to drive that far.

Plus, based on an eMail from an allged member of All Action Wrestling, I won’t drive down to Port Kennedy simply to get my face smashed in and my teeth kicked down your (my) throat. What a well adjusted young man.

If you think you’re so good, why not join us and see how hard it really is? Under no circumstances have I ever said wrestling is easy. Its a tough business that has little rewards. I have a full time job and barely have time to scratch myself. Let alone train as a wrestler. I go to the gym 2 to 3 times a week yet still have the body that would rival Mr Burns. So I think I’ll pass. Unless one of the companies are willing to pay for me to write something lame yet witty for them but somehow I don’t think that would happen. Most wrestlers don’t get paid, so why should I?

EPW started off as a bunch of backyarders, so leave NSWA-E alone. They’ll get better. I am well aware of the history of EPW and if I was around back then I’d probably lay into them as well. The difference is that EPW gained my respect by producing quality shows and wrestlers. Just look at the goods. Evolution & Re-Awakening two shows that define Australian wrestling. Mikey, Psychofett & Bobby Badblood we’ve sent them international. What does NSWA-E have? Midyear Mayhem was simply just too embarrassing to watch. I cringed at the low production values and the sloppy wrestling. I’ve been a wrestling fan since I was a kid. One of my earliest memories of my dad was us watching The Bushwhackers win the WWF Tag titles from Demolition. Now I am rapidly approaching 30 and still enjoy my fair share of wrestling. Sure, the show many have been entertaining to 6 and 60 year olds who have little ability to grasp what real wrestling is all about (Let alone have the ability to control their bladder correctly) but to a fan like myself it was just bad.

In all honesty, if NSWA-E ever get better, good for them. But right now, they are far from looking good in my eyes. Their next show is on the 12th of August but but with EPW High Stakes on the same night, there is no way in hell I’m gonna be anywhere else than Maylands.
