DONATE!
Gianna is calling for donations to help the Opera House peace vandals pay for their witless stunt. Professor Bunyip is happy to contribute:
This may come as a surprise, but the Professor has already written a cheque: an unsigned one for the generous sum of two cents. Readers might care to do likewise. A deluge of worthless donations will disabuse our two heroes of any misconceptions that they speak for anyone other than their fellow sprout-eaters. And if enough paltry contributions turn up, the bank might even decline to play its assigned part in the appeal, since the price of the stamps required to inform "donors" that their cheques are invalid will make the cost of administering the account unacceptably high. With any luck, the next marks Burgess and Saunders make on a wall will be an array of little vertical lines indicating how many long days of incarceration have yet to be served.
My cheque is in the mail.

Death Beast here,
Lets hope the idiots go to jail. Oh? What was that? The Iraqi war was unjust/wrong/not very nice/scared my fish? Good thing it was over so quickly with so few deaths . Another good thing - a chance for DEMOCRACY to get a foot-hold in Iraq.
I hate irrational hippies.........
Posted by: Jake D at July 17, 2003 at 01:06 PMThe most revealing thing about the case is that the two accused have pledged twenty grand of their own money. Crikey, that amount is about a thousand time more than I'm worth at the moment. Aren't all these leftie activist types supposed to be penniless, or at least struggling, in Herr Howard's dog-eat-dog economy?

have you fallen under the spell of harry potter tim?
Posted by: Mr. Bingley at July 17, 2003 at 01:18 PMWhere can I purchase a `Tim Blair's Right Wing Death Beasts' lapel /tie pin'.I should like to stoll down Collins St and turn right into Swanston, and up to Spring St, then stop of for refreshments at the Cricketers Bar with this item proudly worn.A quck visit to melb.Uni or RMIT would add to the joy.
Posted by: d at July 17, 2003 at 01:37 PMI'm thinking of having business cards printed.
Harry Tuttle
right wing death beast
They'd be a great way to break the ice at parties.
how about "Harry Tuttle, R.W.D.B."
looks more official that way, like it's an honor from the queen or something
Posted by: Mr. Bingley at July 17, 2003 at 02:04 PMgreat idea! i might do the same when it comes to paying my tax this year, lest John Howard think this government speaks for me.
Posted by: Gianna at July 17, 2003 at 02:07 PMNote that she links to the guy with the big Paypal button. It's just one big happy family.
Posted by: Random_Prose at July 17, 2003 at 02:11 PMThat's the great thing about our democracy Gianna - Howard's government really does "speak for you".
The fact that pisses you off is just icing on the cake really.
golfshirts, actually, with "RWDB" embroidered on the left breast/manboob?
Posted by: Mr. Bingley at July 17, 2003 at 02:26 PMnow that i've read Bunyip's post...it's interesting how uptight you people get about a bit of paint on an inanimate object like a building, whereas blowing people to bits is happily dismissed as collateral damage.
Posted by: Gianna at July 17, 2003 at 02:30 PMGianna
Yes we should have had a meeting to set up a meeting to work out a time for a meeting to discus if its to mean to say to Saddam he is a naughty boy for putting people in a shredder.
Posted by: Gary at July 17, 2003 at 02:42 PMAssalamu Alaikum Iman and respected Mufti Gianna:
Muslims around the world offer salutations and warmest regards and thank you for defending our religion, culture and sand box. As the Prophet sang on his Greatest Hits (on Kaffirs) CD:
It really gets on my tits,
When the kaffirs blow people to bits.
Speaking of touchy issues ...
Allah Ta'ala [and the Muff Mufti] Knows Best
Mufti of the Muff
ps. You are welcome to attend the Mufti of the Muff's special Friday evening sessions for girls of ripe form and all consuming faith.
Posted by: Mufti of the Muff at July 17, 2003 at 02:45 PM My contribution (if I ever get around to making it)? A signed cheque for -$2000.00. No, wait, let's be generous - -$3000.00. Being nice, sensible, law-abiding people, I'm sure they would appreciate my - ahem - honesty.
They'll be able to make the deduction (or would that be addition) from their nearest Westpac bank.
(By the way, I wonder what the laws are surrounding this kind of donation?)
Actually, that "bit of paint" on the building just looked sort of pathetic. Where are the different colors, the shoutouts to the homies, the artwork? Just a bit of wobbly red scrawling saying "no war." Yawn. I mean, if you're gonna make a statement, at least put some creative effort into it.
Posted by: Andrea Harris at July 17, 2003 at 03:23 PMPoor Gianna, happily whining about collateral damage, yet unable to accept the fact that leaving Saddam in charge would cost a lot more innocent lives.
There is a cost to doing nothing and the Iraqi people were paying it.
Is it that you simply don't understand the issues (basic arithmetic) or are you a moral coward Gianna?
Posted by: Harry Tuttle at July 17, 2003 at 03:27 PMJust checked the site posts again, apparently the war is still going. Some loser called Graham thinks 4000 deaths is just terrible, probably not high enough to meet their expectations. Where is all this irrational anger I feel coming from? Irrational people being themselves probably.
Gianna, you are a dope.
I love the term "Right Wing Death Beast" and will be in for the tee shirt.
d's post about his walk around Spring Street etc brought back many memories of the Supper Club and the holiest of holies, Pellegrini's. When I visit Melbourne in November for the Right Wing Animal Cruelty Spring Carnival and the Right Wing Private School Thug World Cup I will make that walk and call it the Right Wing March of Death.
Posted by: James Hamilton at July 17, 2003 at 04:10 PMI'd like to see them have to spend time behind bars *plus* pay the money. I'm sending a check for a negative amount also.
Have they managed to blame what's happening to them on a US/Israel/Zionist Master conspiracy yet? Perhaps they'll take a hint from the Bali bomber and try. (Would be entertaining to read.)
Gianna:
Curious, which country comes closest to having a government you'd like? Just wondering.
Professor Bunyip - as usual - gets it exactly right on this issue. However, I'm taking a slightly different route vis-a-vis the so-called Opera House No War Clean Up Fund: I'm passing on their bank details (Bendigo Bank, BSB – 633 000, Account # - 119414043) to every Nigerian and Ghanian scam artist who spams my mailbox. Starting now. In fact, I bet I've got about five waiting for me already.
TTFN.
Posted by: Bon Scotties at July 17, 2003 at 06:11 PMAccording to her recently installed Extreme Tracker, Gianna's website gets about 80 hits a day. But today she's well on her way to crack 500. When I looked about 10 minutes ago, the last 20 referrers were either this site or Professor Bunyip's.
I think this would be called hostile fire in military parlance
Posted by: Bon Scotties at July 17, 2003 at 06:45 PMGianna: It's not the desecration of the Opera house that pisses me off, rather the public money spent to clean it up. They should be made to pay every last cent.
Posted by: Yobbo at July 17, 2003 at 08:52 PMHmmm,
Gianna, I'm assuming there is a reason for defacing a place other than the outside of your own home/squat/refuge?
putting your money where your mouths are, rather than hurting others.
Oh? i forgot, wasn't that your message, those who affect 'innocent' others?
You don't have to have a gun or be in the white house to be a hypocritical tosser Gianna, though I'm sure you realise that already.
Posted by: Nic (RWDB) at July 17, 2003 at 09:54 PMTime was when I would have happily dismissed blowing people to bits as collateral damage. But now that I've been politically corrected, I see that it's actually an understandable response of the an oppressed people to the hopelessness of an existence crushed beneath the heel of the criminal Zionist entity. I'm still pretty pissed about the Opera House, however.
Posted by: Paul Zrimsek at July 18, 2003 at 12:27 AMTo take Professor Bunyip's suggestion one step further, I believe that Australian banks charge somewhere between A$5 and A$10 to process a foreign currency check. I wonder what would happen if the bank received a whole stack of U.S. dollar-denominated checks for two cents.
As for the act itself, can anyone point me to a logical distinction between what these fellows did and me (hypothetically, of course - I'm a law-abiding fellow) going to these gentlemens' residence and expressing my opinion on its exterior with a spray can?
After all, the Opera House is public property, which means that baby's mine.
Posted by: Mork at July 18, 2003 at 10:18 AMI think Mork's been replaced with a Body-Snatcher. Great idea to visit and leave our own messages though. The only negative is imagine how pissed of the landlord would be, since these two would no doubt be living in a communal hovel with 15 other unwashed types.
Posted by: Jake D at July 18, 2003 at 12:11 PMMr. Hamilton Sir, you have outlined the fruitiest , I take my hat of to you.
Can we get them on to the billboards :
RW - Animal cruelty Spring Carnival
- Pvte. Sch. Thug World cup;
each introduced by a grand Right Wing Death Beasts parade.
The prospect of the Spring St. dribblers and their wombat namby pamby voters writhing under the weight of spittle and a total break down is such a pleasurable vision I need to crack a scotch and light one of my best cigars.
I'm off to the tailors for a new pair of knee length riding boots, cane, and an Augustan coat.The buttons should be cast to the pattern for the RWDB pattern and proudly worn, with a stock pin bearing same legend firmly planted in the silk stock.Now, all I need to do is look out a suitable Death Beast horse - no gelding, stallion, black, and happily crushes greenies and Sp.St.communards under hoof and chews on their flesh.
To, happy days are here again.
How about a genetically modified pit-bull enhanced with some DNA swiped from phar Lap's ticker?
Saddling the sod would not be fun, but a better high-speed hippy-nibbler I can't think of.
I see the merit in it Paul, but it lacks sartorial elegance. No good being kitted out then to saddle up on something which looks like a cross between crocodile dundee and margot kingston.
Posted by: d at July 18, 2003 at 02:16 PMAnd with the wit and charm of Margo and the looks of the crocodile- hang on, I think we have stumbled on Freddie "Frankenstein" Hillmer's dark secret- he has been playing god in the basement of the SMH
Posted by: Paul Bickford at July 18, 2003 at 05:16 PMPaul , you have stumbled across something which requires an Evelyn Waugh. In the absence of the great man ... one feels gutted.
The horror... it is a blow to the solar plexus your disovery.
A time like this apprises one of the pundits meaning;
`Where is thy Gog, I hear them cry...'
