Manic Times
Such a good name, wish I had thought of it. Not only do they get the
name right, they are spot on with the nomination of Chas Licciardello
from the Chaser as Aussie
of the Year.
The Chaser team have their day in court on October 4 in Sydney. What
will the “authorities” do? Slap their wrists or make an example of
them? Oh dear what a dilemma.
The interesting thing is how this situation highlights the extent of
the right wing power base in this country, with a total absence of
leading public figures prepared to stand up and call the stunt for
what it was, harmless fun at the expense of the police. It is
certainly funnier than seeing iraqis blow themselves up on a daily
basis or americans waxing fat on imported crude.
