I will continue to make fun of everything until I am stopped, and given the limited readership of this blog- i.e. no one- it looks like it will.


The Yorkshire Rider:

Wow what a short description for such an incredibly boring article. You would think there would be more information about such a fascinating topic, that would identify this as one of the cultural pillars of society today. Alas, all I get is a rudimentary explanation of how it was formed due to deregulation. Oh that deregulation always stickin its nose where it don't belong. Not allowing people to to operate their own bus lines. But don't worry because we don't have to worry about that in the United States; there is no public transportation.

Kalenic Monastery:

Thank the lord there is cyrillic spelling for me to correctly pronounce this awesome church, except I can't read cyrillic, oh well... maybe some day (probably not). It's in Serbia, which is nice, and its Orthodox which is nice, but it was built by protodaviar Bogdan. Oh that Bogdan, when will you learn. Building churches all willy nilly, disregarding that someone might possibly in the future make fun of you for it on a blog. For shame... for shame.

Robert Manne:

Manne... Robert.. Manne, Australian professor of politics. One of Australia's premier "public intellectuals" (why if you were so brilliant would you be content only share your superior intellect with those in your private life, you must show the world if not for yourself than for your towering... ego). According to the article he moves freely within the linear classification of political ideology.. or something. Basically I'm guessing he goes wherever he thinks he can get the most money for writing a self-satisfying book about how great he is or what he thinks about some contemporary idea (The Shadow of 1917: Cold War Conflict in Australia- seriously I wasn't aware that Australia was so devastated by the Cold War, all those battles, so many died... oh wait no that was the movie, Gallipoli starring a young Mel Gibson).
