Channel Nine Underhanded?

When the PM Mr. Howard agreed to a debate he did so on the condition that the 'worm' was not used. The live "worm" is a graph monitoring the reactions of a group swing voters. Channel nine decided to run the debate and the live worm, but because it contravened Howard's wishes they had their feed cut twice before they could hook up a signal to Sky News.

Nine's news chief John Westacott was pretty upset at the news feed being cut calling it an "outrageous act of censorship". He admits that, "we were asked not to use the worm, that's correct, and we didn't agree with any of the conditions that were laid down by the press club."

All the same knowing the conditions and flouting them was pretty childish if you asked me and as far as I was concerned the worm was pretty bloody useless and detracted from the debate. If I had known the debate was on channel 2 I would have changed the station.

Politicians Are A Pain In The Proverbial!

Damn these politicians who make up the rules, get caught out and then back peddle to try and get themselves out of the shit they buried themselves in. One situation that comes to mind is our Water Minister who asked Ausies to dob their neighbour in if they broke the level 3 water restrictions. Of course the wanker got caught out and now they are calling foul. Some labor pollies are even suggesting it was a setup. Others are saying we should first talk to our neighbous and then dob em in. You would figure they would be the ones setting the example.

I tell ya you got to hand it to em, as there always seems to be one rule for the pollies and another for everyone else.

Employee Rips Off Employer Again!

Yep it's happened again. An employee has decided that it's not enough that he gets paid for doing his job, he wants more. So what does he do? Does he approach his employer with his grievances and hopefully sort it out. Nope he complains to everyone else and then decides to pull a sicky on Monday.

Unfortunately for this turkey, he was spotted working for another company on that same day. So he thinks he is entitled to get paid for two jobs while only atually working for one. His days may well be numbered.
