19 April 2009: Today's feeling/Blog emotion: Question for Malcolm Turnbull and Australian Liberal Party: Can you cease and desist forthwith from continually speaking arrant and specious tosh?

Until you do so, you will be regarded as merely relentlessly unimaginative refugees from the 1980s, sailing on The Ship of Fools, unable to adapt to something called, a future, the future. Yes, we can, not speak tosh. Yes, we can, speak sense, but only if we think. - Ed
