Mightier than the ultimate sword

That title will make sense shortly, I swear.

With a small amount of sadness, it's time to announce that this blog has run out of steam, and indeed out of moderately warm water. So, very soon, this particular highway of life will close.

My failure to post anything apart from one knock knock joke in the past month is as good an illustration as any of the reasons for this decision.

I am still working on finishing one final post, since it seems wrong to depart without:
1. One last potshot at Richard Dawkins;
2. Some attempt to explain why this blog is named after a moderately successful Canadian rock song from the mid-90s;
3 Whatever else seems important at the time.

That post is still days or possibly weeks from completion. For now, I just want to say that anyone who sets up or joins a facebook group dedicated to hating some guy who may or may not have started a fire needs to get a life.

Also, at this time of national tragedy, it is time for all Australian to join together in telling Germaine Greer to, just once in her life, shut the hell up. Her idiotic comments have been a rare sour note in what has otherwise been a magnificent response to a terrible, terrible disaster. Greer needs to finally figure out that her obsession with using tragedy to push whatever agenda she feels like pushing this week and making ill informed, borderline meaningless statements at the worst possible time just makes her look like an attention seeking dumbass.

Thanks for reading, it's been fun. My final, and significantly less shirty, post will appear some time soon.
