Australia was invaded by the English in 1788.<\/p>\n
In 2009, English weather robbed Australia of victory in the First Test.<\/p>\n
Fact.<\/p>\n
Speaking of cricket, a crazy cat called Hak Mao writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n BBC cricket<\/a> commentator Jonathan Agnew tried to get a bite out of his co-commentator (and former Australian captain) Ian Chappell today. Agnew mentioned that John \u2014 One Australia Policy \u2014 Howard was watching the cricket and asked Chappell if he had ticked the box next to Howard\u2019s name*. Chappell pointedly talked about the action on field. Agnew tried again. Again Chappell pointedly ignored him. Chappell loathes Howard<\/a>…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Goodonya Ian!<\/p>\n Another Critical Animal maintains a blog here<\/a>: “I’m Scu, this blog is devoted mostly to a discussion of critical animal studies, with a strong emphasis on poststructuralist and decolonial philosophy combined with a strong theoretical analysis of veganism\/vegetarianism.” Like a banana, carrot, (honey) and tahini sandwich, it’s much better than it sounds.<\/p>\n A few more crazy peeps are worried about BLACKHELICOPTERS. They want to ambushworldgovernment. Crazy!<\/a> (But nice.)<\/p>\n Left Luggage<\/a> is a semi-interesting blog, one of umpteen sites devoted to asking “where next?” for Teh Left (in this case in the UK).<\/p>\n Some crazy person claiming to be a ‘movementresearcher’ (but more than likely simply being someone who hates our freedumbs) has uploaded a rather large number (279!) of ‘Global Justice Movement Posters’<\/a> @ Picasa.

However, in my view, undertaking such scholarship only lends a fig leaf of respectability to what are at root capitalist enterprises; consequently a purist and more sustainable solution requires that radical intellectuals step out of the university world and work to create alternative, people-powered institutions that can seriously challenge the status quo.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Good luck!<\/p>\n Actually, I was gonna cite Michael’s Swans<\/em> essay during the course of some concluding remarks on “the intervention”, but nobody else gives a fuck what I think, so fuck it 1<\/a> 2<\/a> 3<\/a>. Instead, read Michael’s essay ‘Dreams Of Social Responsibility: Rio Tinto, Capitalism, and Indigenous Rights’<\/a>, June 15, 2009.<\/p>\n Finally, Teh Evil Doktor Cam Sexenheimer<\/a> has some choice words for one particular Aunty:<\/p>\n The Hippie of Deception<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u2026is devolved from the Bluebird of Happiness.<\/p>\n FDB\u2019s immensely overworked Cam Sexenheimer writes:<\/p>\n Dear God, you made many, many hippies.

\nI realize, of course, that it\u2019s no shame to be a hippie.
\nBut it\u2019s no great honour either!
