In response to the views reported above, this is an open communique to Fred Nile MP from the President-Apparent of Australia.

FROM THE DESK OF THE IVORY TOWER

Dear Fred,
How are you? Are you keeping well? Last time I'd heard anything about you was on a D-Generation Breakfast Show CD... I honestly thought you'd given the hatespeak a rest! Ah, how we laugh. Anyway. To business.

I can't help but notice you've spoken out against the joyous news that Ms. Wong and Ms. Allouache are expecting.
Repeat: You have issue with two women of sound mind and body excited that they will be having a baby together.
Repeat: You have an issue with a Good Thing.
What in your mate God's name is your problem, cobber?

I was made particularly craw-stuck when you said (no apparent awareness of stupidity mind you) that "[the fact they announced their pregnancy] just promotes their lesbian lifestyle". You have a big thing about the Gay community 'promoting' their lyfestyle. You also misunderstand and confuse the word 'promote' with the phrase 'just living'. But, you clearly want something to upset you, so here's what I propose:

1) The Gay community will START promoting their lifestyle.
2) On billboards and banners and bus stop ads and ads on the side of buses and live demonstrations and parties.
3) But only around your house.

This plan is partly because (I won't lie) your reaction will be priceless. But it is also because if you are FORCED to interact with gay people you will realise possibly the biggest flaw in the arguments against gay people you and yours seem doctrined to:You Are Being Mean To People. People. With Lives. And Hopes.

There is a lot of wrong and hypocrisy the Christian Right have been part of of late. But it is almost as if you are going OUT OF YOUR WAY to hurt, harm, upset or just humiliate the gay community. I wish to quote something I heard one day:

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

And where was that written?
1 John 4:18
Your own fucking book of worship. Said by the man you have chosen as your crusade's figurehead.

And THIS is why the majority of Australia hates you.
Nile, believe it or not, I am your President. I hold the thoughts and feelings of this great nation deeply and my people know a coward when they see one. I don't know how you got to a position such as the one you hold now, but I can assure you it it was chance.

You have no interest in Christ's message of love, peace and understanding.
You are not interested in democratic rights.
You have cowered yourself behind religion, politics and the media and can comfortably say such poisonous and hurtful things. You are a coward and a hatemonger, fearful of the world and of anyone/thing different and frankly this will not stand. You didn't even tell Ms. Wong of your issue. Which says even you understand ultimately it's none of your GODDAMNED BUSINESS.

I am in ascendant, Nile. This is your warning. Get Off The Gay Agenda and START ACTING LIKE CHRIST.

Yours sincerely,
sp Cantwell
Pres. Appt. Of The Glorious Republic of Australia

It's Infuriating: Young kids today...

So it's been almost a year. Hey. Surprise.

In the interim, I've accumulated vast wealth and spent it all on other people and myself. That's how I roll, we all know this. I've also moved to the big smoke have become and Angry Young Man, started standup and founded The Heidelberg Antisocial Club and the Gentleman's Collar comedy group.

I've also been tweeting on and off. Today Andrew Breitbart supporters lashed out at me for asking him if it hurts to be a liar, and on the local front, I got the wrath of a grown up.

For those with lives, Angry Anderson fFormerly King Herod of JCS and the lead singer of Aussie institution Rose Tattoo) joined a no Carbon Tax rally today, allying himself with Australia's champion climate change deniers, along with intellectual luminaries Pauline Hanson and Tony Abbot.

I tweeted about this. I said the following:
"Angry Anderson: Turns out he's just as big a sell-out as the rest of his generation. #nosurprisethere"

Two hours later, a Grown Up responded.

From @ucantsathat:
"Whats your generation done for anyone."

Now, I'm pretty sure that this gent is using a social networking tool that our generation developed. WINNING! (Thank you, Charlie)

I'm sure this man is lovely. I'm absolutely certain of it. However. I assume he is in the age bracket of Mr. Anderson. And as such would be at the very least a tail end baby boomer. There is a lot of speculation going on here.

So let's play my favourite song. It's a little number called "How Fucking Dare You".

To this man I say the following, as I did when I replied to that tweet:

Oh, what have WE done? You mean apart from join up to the Army only to be shipped off to two illegal wars, invent social networking, become the main target of the consumer market, slave away so we can live in houses we rent because we'll never own one, cop profiling at events, write the best in tv, working in the charities that do the work for others that you can't comprehend, embrace the ideals that died with your souls and generally try and undo the damage your lot did forty or so years ago? Oh shit, not much then. AREN'T WE JUST THE WORST?

So let's see what YOU did.

- Did all the drugs, then did your very best to criminalize them all

- Sped up the decay of the planet's natural resources

- Continually vote people into power who had no interest in helping the country as a whole

- Cause three economic recessions since 1981

- Blurred the very important line between Church and State

- Protest every single positive change in the last twenty years

- Use, use, use & use every natural resource with no heed to the irreparable damage you could be causing

- Stifle artistic expression, yet give Gene Simmons a platform to make millions

- And bred a level of self-interest and small -mindedness so insidious in our culture that we're all guilty of.

And also, don't pull the "you're ungrateful" bullshit with me. We're all grateful on some level. We're just not going to waste it on people who ruined our history and still sing along to The Who with that knowledge. Happiness comes to me only with knowing that someday we'll be in the positions of power. Here's hoping we do a better job.

Fuck you.
