NSW TAKES CAKE WITH IMAGINATION
The sooner Queensland gets to offload its crazy excuse for a government the more progressive it stands to be.

But NSW really takes the cake when it comes to vivid imagination for it is hardly set up to look like the sweetheart of togetherness.
Its carbon levies are on the warpath.
Their latest concern on the horizon is Clover Moore's recent declaration on television news of her "emergency climate change issue."
She even mustered up some leaders from holy orders in Sydney churches.
One of them was noted recently on television news blowing his horn to herald in our need to get ready for the end was nigh that is.
Of course the horn blowing gives authenticity to the whole green warrior event and paints the picture for the next coming.
Last count down until oblivion they told us we still had a decade to exist.
But guess what these universe watchers have now fast forwarded the date, lucky us.
Whatever would we do if they were ever to deprive us of our weekly entertainment as we observe one by one their theories shot down in flames.
Intelligent scientists refer to this as being stupidity of reasoning in all its "egg on the face glory".
Indeed so for don't they say he who laughs last laughs the longest.
We could add to this just for good measure give them enough rope and they will eventually hang themselves through lack of wisdom and commonsense reasoning.

WE FACE BIG CHALLENGES
This drought, of course, has its place in the earth's evolution by being occurred in by many millions of years during earth's evolution, but in man's short generation it happens to be disastrous to his life.
Already we have lost a season and the signs are it seems there are much more adverse weather conditions on the way ahead.
Our small country towns are crying up also, a loss of population due to employment loss is happening because of improved technology reducing the need of manual labour.
Obviously, then, the government is facing mammoth problems requiring huge solutions. Our desperate plight is that food stocks must be approaching a decreasing measure of decreasing hours.
A dire consequence for all.

GUNBAR'S MYSTERY TRAVELLER
Buried in Gunbar cemetery, 16-8-1924.
We didn't know where you came from,
And we don't who you are,
But we gave you a dignified resting place,
In the general cemetery section at Gunbar.
It was a very hot August day in 1924,
You were passing Kingston Park and to a dam you went,
To try and cool down and escape the depressive heat,
But alas you were to drown and to heaven you were sent.
You were sadly found floating in the dam,
A coffin was made, and a spring cart was sent to collect you,
A grave was dug, and your burial took place,
Authorities were notified and that was the best we could do.
To this day you have not been identified,
Someone's friend, son, or father you must have been,
As you lie in peace in your unmarked grave,
Be content that you were found, it was just luck that you were seen.
