The essential difference between the the Counter Summit blog I started http://countersummitaustralia2020.blogspot.com and the site you mentioned in Club Troppo at http://kevinruddrless.blogspot.com/2008/03/my-2008-smartarse-summit.htm is that while I have been very critical of how this brilliant concept has been fumbled, all that other blogger can do is knock and whinge. So he doesn’t like Kevin Rudd – big deal – what’s his own vision for policies to bring us a better future? That’s if he has any vision at all.

the patient, constructive, policy-oriented hard work of the Australian Democrats

Bah ha ha ha!

Problem is fixed, thanks. I’m feeling pretty up myself. I won’t bore anyone into a stupor by explaining here what I did, but if any Wordpress users find they are suddenly unable to display uploaded pictures where they could the day before, you are welcome to email me! In the meantime, I’ll be waving a Hahn and singing Queen’s execrable WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS (of Wordpress…)

Wilful, this time, I could not agree with you more. Can’t we pulp the Young Liberals?

Guy Beres applauds the self-promoting Bob Geldofs caricature-busting sympathetic view of George Bush.

Isn’t anyone who writes about their time with the President of the US inherently ’self-promoting’? That struck me as a really weird choice of words.

I remember when I first read Ruth’s glorious John Howard blog – now that was a fresh and genuinely amusing site. Could be in the next few years a similar Kevin Rudd satire will spring up somewhere in the blogosphere. Rudd R Less isn’t it.

I certainly don’t apologise for drawing the attention of readers to the existence of the Rudd R Less site and won’t be censoring the coverage in future to suit the ideological taste of any particular subgroup of readers. No-one’s forcing you to read anything we abstract. We give you a brief description of each highlighted post so you can make up your own mind whether it’s the kind of thing you’d like to read. If you want ideologically skewed and tribal political coverage, there are plenty of other blogs you can read where that’s exactly what you’ll find.
