Loose cannons


Freudian slip


“But there needs to be a focused, coalition effort in the [Middle-East]
region against peace.” — US President George “The Crusader” Bush, March
30.


Bribery


“The head of the Federal Government's royal commission into [bribery and
corruption in] the building industry, Justice Terence Cole, is Australia's
highest paid public official with an annual salary topping $800,000 a year
plus expenses.” — Australian Financial Review, April 6-7.


Could then be sold off to Rupert or Kerry


“[Labor leader Simon] Crean apparently favours a plan formulated by the
Left's Lindsay Tanner to build ALP membership by creating party branches
based on communities of interest rather than geography — a communications
branch or a sports branch, for example.” — AFR, April 6-7.
