Bogan Bribe Watch – August 13th

13 08 2010

Hehehe…’Rooty’

When it was announced that AFFPM (aka the Powerfox) was not going toe-to-toe with Mr Rabbit in a town-hall setting in front of 200 undecided decided voters in Rooty Hill, the bogan promptly forgot everything it heard prior to ‘Rooty Hill’. Then paused. Then giggled involuntarily.

More specifically, the Rooty Hill RSL was the venue for this epic non-encounter between our putative and prospective leaders. This meek little cul-de-sac stood as a testament to the crippling land shortages faced by bogans across Sydney’s west, while presumptuous and uppity illegal boat people swamp their native territory; clogging up roads, taking jobs and occupying what precious little land is available about 380kms outside of the CBD of our largest city.

This modest testament to the bogan’s legitimate desire to congregate has 40,000 members, a gym, a power station, a 4-star hotel, an AMF Bowling and M9 Laser Skirmish centre, two restaurants, two cafes, a sports bar, a youth club, child minding and a function centre. And 800 pokie machines. Oh, and it is agitating to have its own post code. Rooty Hill bogans, it seems, are a special kind of bogan; the inherent sense of entitlement extends to demanding a means of sending mail to a place where nobody actually lives.

Bogans outside of Rooty Hill, however, simply cannot move beyond two facts. One, that there is a place called Rooty Hill, and two, that Kevin Rudd, the leader they couldn’t stand only two months earlier, was ‘knifed’ by their new leader, AFFPM. At Rooty Hill, St Kevin was consistently referred to in the reverential whisper of the martyred leader, as bogans took umbrage, still, that the leader that they did not directly elect was deposed for another leader whom they did not directly elect. Kind of like when Anthony Callea (not gay at the time) was usurped from his rightful ‘The Prayer’-driven place as the bogan’s Idol™ by that fat chick.

Then, as a delightful postscript, Mark Latham reared his fat head. On behalf of the bogan, Latham’s peculiar passive/aggressive form of aggression was on display for all to see. Little did Tony Abbott realise that had he called on his pugilistic past and just decked the prick, he was careering towards a bogan-inspired election victory.

Both parties, in this midst of all of this bogan politics, also finally decided to start bribing bogans. Foremost among these was the Powerfox’s wonderfully targeted bogan bribe, offering to effectively fund the construction of a rail link between Parramatta and a place that the bogan didn’t want to go to that badly. The bogan was outraged, as this was clearly money that would be better spent on baby bonuses and freeways.

ALP Score: 4 Rooties out of 10. (Rooty)

Well maybe I’m giving him too much credit but I think he wants to get the message across about how much both parties suck balls. I guess we’ll know for sure what he’s about if one is prepared to watch 60 minutes on Sunday and whether or not channel nein allows freedom of speech which I doubt.

Chairman Miaow

Latham is the drunk in the pub at midnight giving a witless opinion about some dirge with spit dribbling and a funny stain on his pants. Except it’s broad daylight and he’s not drunk.

I reckon Nein hoisted the idea of him fronting 60M for the controversy and the publicity… and are now wondering wtf to do. Bit like that tit in Darwin who jumped into the croc pen, tried to ride one of the bastards and got bitten. Nein are just riding the croc.

The knob who’s idea it was has probably been relegated to the broom closet as we speak.

Rooty hill RSL sounds like hell. Youth clubs in a pub? Don’t get me started on childcare facilities near gambling. I can understand some of the other ancillary things at an RSL “cafe” and “restaurants”. The place looks like a supermax prison from the States.

And of course, WA has our very own crazy uncle nutjob par excellence, Wilson “Ironbar” Tuckey; no doubt the fine burghers and wheat cockies of the Federal Division of O’Connor will re-elect him, as they’ve been inexplicably doing since 1980.

I think pretty much everyone else, including some fellow Wiberwal MHRs, would wish that this bothersome blight upon humanity with the face of a bashed crab would be mute too. Or better still, retire to his cruise to senescence, no doubt already well underway.

His wilful ignorance and incessantly rambunctious bleating ranks him highly amongst the bogan cognoscenti, undoubtedly.

That’s a very special place. If they had their own postcode, maybe next step is their own statedom… and then countrydom… which we could invade. Or better yet, call them the Pacific Solution and ship all the illegals over there.

Too hard to choose between the leaders. Dick or Cunt? And no, gentle reader this is not referring to their respective genders. No different in Britain, Japan or the United States where the differences between parties are so wafer-thin that people will vote with a coin toss.

You could vote for an independant. I don’t understand why people wouldn’t if they hate both parties. There was a bogan woman on the SBS show Insight the other day saying she was going to vote for Family First because she hated both parties. I’m certainly not advocating doing that!

13 08 2010

No, no, no. Two words for you … Brian Harradine

The one-issue knobs are, by and large, resentful, insecure, fringe-dwelling peewees who then make a decision based on the bribes the big two offer.

Dgusten

As I mentioned the other day, have a look at policies of the Secular Party – if you find yourself nodding when you read things on this blog you’ll probably find yourself agreeing with their policies. They’re at the very least multi-issue knobs.
Unfortunately, they only have candidates in a few lower house seats. But there are candidates for every states’ Senate spots.

13 08 2010
James Hunter

Dgusten,
Problems here are one: voting for minority parties is esentially a waste of vote ast the best and a vote enabling some minor party or group of minor parties and/or independents to controll the senate or worse still the House of Reps.
Asure recipie for unstable Government.
Look to Italy to see what a dogs breakfst a gazillion small parties and independents do .
A strong two party system has given us stability that other countries would be proud of. Its not perfect by a long shot but think carefully before advocating measure that could lead to alternatives l. If you want Bob Brown to run the country though I guess it is your vote after all.

13 08 2010

True dat, however bogans vote for the person and not the policy.

13 08 2010
pb

ooh, a rorschach test for the vote counters!

13 08 2010
Dgusten

I think it’s much better when minor parties do have the balance of power in the Senate. Look at Howard’s last term when he controlled both houses and passed WorkChoices with zero scrutiny (despite running into hundreds of pages, the Act was debated for less time than the Do Not Call Register Act, which had something like 90% public support!).

Sure, the Senate sometimes gives too much power to idiots like Harradine and Fielding, but that’s better that a government with total control. The Democrats wielded their power quite well prior to f#cking themselves over (some say it was voting for the GST, but they did pretty well in the following election. I reckon it was ditching Natasha that destroyed them). Anyway, it’s likely that after this election that the Greens will hold the balance of power and I see them using it fairly wisely. It in no way results in Bob Brown “running the country”.

In the House of Reps, it’s not a wasted vote either – your preferences will (usually) go to Labor or Liberal. So how is voting for a different party before them a waste? Meanwhile, voting a minor party assists them in getting public funding at future elections as well as sending a message to the major parties that they suck.

Minor parties and independents very rarely win lower house seats, so I’m not too worried about them gaining power and turning us into Italy. But I do note that Victoria had a hung Parliament for Steve Bracks’ first term, with 3 independents helping give Labor power – the state didn’t fall apart, and I doubt we would federally either. Without looking into it, I suggest that our electoral system is a bit different to Italy (having said that, if Abott wins, we’re onto our 4th PM in 3 years).

Don’t get sucked into the myth that voting for minor parties is dangerous or a waste. It’s bullsh!t, and us non-bogues shouldn’t fall for such simplistic scaremongering.

Far less of a chance the Greens doing anything worse; in fact, I’d safely venture that they’d do much better, if given half a chance, if they weren’t subjugated to the moronic horse-trading that the major parties impose on them. That’s what why we end up with camels of legislation (for those who don’t understand my metaphor, it pertains to the saying that a camel is a horse designed by committee).

But aside from this asinine manoeuvring, the Greens are about the only party that have a clear eye on the future and a sustainable one, so far as I can tell: Labored are about unquestioningly protecting the status quo, as are the Wiberwals, albeit with a disturbing tendency to go back to the future with a past that never was, only embracing change if their haute core constituency can jam their dicks in the till (e.g. why they promote uranium mining and nuclear energy=shedloads of moolah, buggered be the consequences).

Shove appeasing to the bogans, although their sheer volume necessitates that they be pandered to. No bloody wonder why they really don’t have to try to attain more than they rightfully deserve.

As long as these philistines are shielded from the consequences of their profligacy, mediocrity will always be the order of the day.

In Wait Awhile (WA) news, there is a rather pernicious piece of dogwhistling turd fouling the airways of the radio stations who accept their money for advertising airtime, about the idea that WA is the cash cow that the ALP has milked upon for their alleged follies in spending and thrusting indebtedness unto the nation. Pah! What Fony Rabbit et al forget to realise that that stimulus was a firm example of the REAL ACTION that they are rabbiting rabidly on about: unfortunately, if you act so fast, it is almost always that there’s going to be some spiv taking a free ride on the gravy train. And that those in the building trades working for small firms—of whom are often inclined to vote for the Wiberwals—would profit to never forget that without this expeditious stimulus (right, wrong or otherwise, itself another discussion of itself), they’d be at a loose end for work, as a consequence of housing drying up due to housing being subject to the scabby and scrofulous speculation and subsequently priced beyond the means of many.

Better get the fire extinguisher and douse me before I become a solitary inferno of mute rage towards these fücknuckles and the pollies who represent them! WHOOOSH! WHOOOOSH!

And very annoyed I will be missing out on watching big Richo! He is the best part about election coverage!

Shocked!!! that TBL hasn’t done up a post on the collapse of Ed Hardy. What will bogans wear now? Will they have to fly to Phuket to satisfy their style needs?

Friday I got Monday on my mind. TBL

I think we’ll either need Jetstar or Thai market vendors to enter insolvency before we see the last of Ed

Hmm, I have a nice little Rooty Hill bogan anecdote of my own …

When my brother was 15 and was the most obnoxious delinquent bogan this side of Strathfield Station (as a matter of fact, he still is!), and our parents despite exercising a reasonable standard of discipline could no longer control or tolerate him – along came our saintly relatives who lived in the Rooty Hill area, who offered to take my brother under their tutelage and “knock some sense into him”. My parents agreed, and immediately sank to their knees, tears of gratitude streaming down their cheeks, proclaiming to all within earshot the everlasting mercies of the Almighty Lord.

For six months, all was bliss in the Reverie household. Until one day came the dreaded phone call – my brother was no longer welcome at our relatives, could we drive for an hour to their place to come pick him up? And there we found our relatives – husband in a strait jacket in a rocking chair staring silently into space; wife prematurely grey and shivering and saying “T-t-t-take him back! C-c-can’t take any m-m-more!”; children permanently corrupted.

And now that my brother was back, for several weeks I had to put up with his constant boasting of “shoulda seen all the faggots I bashed” and “wouldn’t believe all the bitches I rooted”, the latter complete with descriptions of the romantic locales – stormwater drains, picnic shelters in council parks, school grounds after hours, the toilets at Rooty Hill Station, the loading dock of the Big W.

After a while, I got rather annoyed at all this boasting – annoyance compounded with incredulity, as I still find it difficult to believe that any woman could think so repulsive a creature attractive. (I didn’t realise at the time just how low the standards of outer-suburban boguettes can often be!) And one day, I snapped.

“Oh yes! You’re the Plumpton Pumper! The Mount Druitt Maiden Mounter! The Glendenning Getter of Girls! The Blacktown Bonker! The Don Juan of Doonside! You are the … Roly-Poly Rooty Hill Rooter!”

He didn’t get angry. He didn’t thump me one. Instead, my brother took it as a compliment. He actually thought I was praising him for his womanising prowess. His boganic IQ is so low, he didn’t even cotton onto the fact that I was taking the piss out of him!

I do occasionally wonder if bogans who stray onto TBL don’t realise that this site is picking on them and is not a panegyric to maxtreme bogan awesomeness.

Urban,
Well . When I was a lad all thos years ago, Blacktown Doonside and Rooty Hill were all semi rural to rural . I went to Doonside Primary School when it was a three teacher school !
Families were all either farmers kids or store keepers kids , pretty much. Bogans were a bit thin on the ground, at least in my child hood memories.

These days I doubu a group of Bikies wearing their colours would feel safe walking the streets late at night.

Serious shit though. What became of this god awful bro of yours? is he attending the governments pleasure someplace appropriate or is he out bashing taxi drivers and glassing carnts ?

there are definitely bogans who don’t get this site is mocking them – one of the most recent comments on the ‘what is a bogan today?’ page, for example.

Mis D,
not only that but Jeasus Christ was not born at Mt Druitt either. They could not find three wise men or a virgin …

Oh no, what will this mean for the Bogans?

WTF TBL? “Once you go black you never go back” ?

Hate it – hate it lotsly, even though I don’t read it muchly. Format screwed, text too small, orange-on-black is nauseating (wtf is your colour consultant?). What the hell were you thinking? You fucked up.

Take a valium and read today’s post. TBL

Done – and still it blows chunks. Is it a new trend to have comments displaying as one word per line?
