Sid and Sod

Dental High Jeans

On a distant planet, the dominant population was obsessed with dental hygiene due to the fact that they had three complete receding sets of mandibles. They were so concerned with maintaining their teeth, hat the custom was to floss several times a day.

To achieve this goal, they grew a floss plant from which the fibers were extracted to make the necessary product.

Being a scientifically advanced species especially in the area of genetics, they developed a sub-species of workers by using their own genetic print as a starting point.

These clones were specifically designed to harvest the plants, but were deficient in other areas such as intelligence. As long as they were supervised, they did a good job. However, if left untended, they would usually wander aimlessly off.

From whence comes their expression: A strolling clone gathers no floss.

Tony Abbott; Paedophiles, Murderers and War Criminals

He hopes to be Australia’s next Prime Minister. So a couple of questions about stuff that go to character.

Who does Tony Abbott praise?

Who does Tony Abbott protect?

Who are Tony Abbott’s friends?

Should we like Tony Abbott’s friends?

Here is a start. Add to it if you will.

And make your own mind up.

PAEDOPHILES

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott vouched in court for the good character of a Catholic priest later struck off the clergy list by the Vatican following a child abuse case.

Fr John Gerard Nestor, who attended Sydney’s St Patrick’s Seminary with Mr Abbott in the 1980s, was a priest in the Wollongong diocese in NSW when he was charged with the indecent assault of a 15-year-old altar boy in 1991.

Mr Abbott, then a federal parliament backbencher, told the court Fr Nestor was an upright and virtuous man who he had known since 1984.

“He was … a beacon of humanity at seminary,” Mr Abbott said.

KILLERS

Well, Peta Credlin is not actually a killer. QUITE! More by good luck than good management.

She was drunk and lucky. Stopped by a policeman before she hit a car with a mother and five year old on board or a late night pedestrian or a – - – Any one of a hundred scenarios.

DRUNK PEOPLE WHO DRIVE EVENTUALLY KILL PEOPLE!

Yet Tony Abbott is full of praise for his dangerously drunken chief of staff.

“Mr Abbott has brushed aside a question about whether he would take any action against Ms Credlin, saying she is an “outstanding chief of staff”.

WAR CRIMINALS

Invading a foreign state on a fraudulent pretext was John Howard’s major crime. One he will probably never be charged for.

Yet we all know he did it.

Tony Abbott has nothing but praise for his mentor.

This is the man the Polls are telling us is a shoo-in for the PM’s job come September.

Do we, the voters, REALLY TRULY want this to come to pass?

Or are we decent Aussies at heart?
