Monday Monday mundane m'bane?

I are running out of inspiration for post headings. Who cares. Today, a snippet of snippets as I can't be bothered writing proper like.

From today's (UK) Guardian, an insight into what's important in policy setting: "There were signs yesterday that the Bush administration was losing its ability to shape perception of the conflict, even among partisan Republicans." Bugger the facts, make sure those damn perceptions are straight.

From the letters to the editor in today's (Sydney) Daily Telegraph, one of the more intelligible pieces: "Maybe people here need to start overturning cars and throwing petrol bombs, like in Paris (only kidding) regarding our own work 'reforms'. We just had a meeting today where the bosses told us that when the work'choices' bill becomes law our 4 weeks annual leave will be reduced to 1 week on terms that they decide when we have the week off, and no more penalty rates or paid sick leave either. This is from a rather large corporate company too. Thankfully for me my financial situation allowed me to resign immediately and will search for a job with better conditions, if that is possible in howards new Australia 2006." I do wonder what's on offer in lieu of the previous conditions - ie does the hourly/daily rate go up? Well, don't say you weren't warned.

The best news is that the Coopers Bitter is bubbling away merrily in the 'basement', indicating that there should be a reasonable amount of drinkable brew on hand when
tomic gets here.
