Today won't be a normal day of transmission but as always we've got some good stories in the can which you should be watching out for.
■ Stephen Mayne admits the OC was right on Bernie Riordan. He accused the NSW Right patriot of being a "lefty", a most grievous insult. A full retraction was ordered. We'll put it up and insult him a few more times.
■ A very interesting looming story involving Socialist Leftard student union official Mark Baker at Monash U. The fat slug appears to making a pay grab at a meeting this afternoon which would re-allocate money from patriot Jimmy Mentor to himself. If he actually goes through with it, we'll report it in gory detail. Some believe he has maxed out his credit card buying pies and tasty treats from Baker's Delight, where he aspires one day to become a franchisee and Chief Pie Taster. Given his penchant for ratting on deals, there might be a chance he could come up with a new and delectable offering: the cheese pie. Bad Zoe (Edwards) is also hanging on for some.
■ We'll be looking in detail at the ramifications of the government caving in to half-naked CBD protesting cab drivers. As I learned the hard way as a puppy parent, if you reward bad behaviour, you're certain to get more of it.
■ Speaking of bad or at least highly neglectful behaviour, it appears that The Age newspaper was privy to many emails from the alleged attacker of the cab driver who prompted those feral protests. We have asked The Age to explain what action they took on receipt of these emails but are yet to receive a reply from editor in chief Andrew Jaspan. They style themselves as the moral lefty conscience of Melbourne, yet show callous contempt for a man who was clearly in distress and required urgent assistance. The consequence of their inaction has been devastating.
■ Must-see bitchee today from nancy-boy Chrissy Kerr of the Australian (who we pledged to try to like after he left the nasties at Nameless to the broad sunlit uplands of The Oz). Kerr opines:
The Canberra press gallery is bigger than any of its state equivalents. It is less easily manipulated or intimidated and much, much hungrier for a story.
Kerr's colleagues at News Limited, including some of the nation's most impressive and pesky reporters who work in state rounds are no doubt not very impressed to be accused of stupidity and sloth by an alcoholic, cocaine and ecstasy addict who by his own admission was barely capable of wiping his own ass for several months during one of his legendary benders.
■ One of our finest sources of patriotic thought has sent through an intriguing story from Canada, the nation that brought us Blackberry, where one of the unions has lodged a pay claim that partly justifies a pay increase on the basis that Blackberry use eats into their private time. Perhaps someone should tell them about the "OFF" switch.
Game on.
