What a bloody mess we're weaving
when the truth is all-deceiving
Dogs wag tails, tails wag dogs
Would-be could-be Hitler blogs
Maybe truth comes from within

The administration of US President Donald Trump relies heavily on the support of followers of evangelical Christianity as a “motivating force” behind their policies, and that could prove dangerous to global stability, according to a recent report by The Guardian.

Ross Gittins "How to get more happiness per dollar" is a bit bland. If you are a "creative" person (like me — I hope I am, but who knows, I could be the "master of the fake" as some of my mates call me), you might end up in an asylum for blancmanged bogans, should you follow "his" advice based on a study by three US psychologists... Ah, no less than three US diplomed dudes:

Christopher Clark’s history of Europe was fascinating — especially if you did not know much about the history of Europe. Going back to the geological formation of the continent, Christopher Clark was brilliantly supported by a large team of German producers who illustrated with excellent reenactments some of the major events in this well-told history. Quite accurately told, till about 1900. 

The president says he will bring the troops home from Syria and Afghanistan. Now, because of their pathological hatred of Trump, mainstream Democrats are hysterical in their opposition.

This cartoon published between 1896 and 1897 tells of the woes of the Aussie male cricketers who could not save themselves from being the pits — even against women. Politically this has enormous ramifications in regard to the stupidity of this nation — still living in the past, under a bogan/yobo/shiree PM who is the president of the Noah's Ark Society, or stupid for short. The question still rages about "quotas" for women in his party of Menzies who admired women without understanding anything about them. At least Bob (Menzies) lived in an era of women doing "home economics" (cooking, ironing, washing) rather than polishing benches in parliament... He loved a well-ironed shit....

History is quite a mediocre means for humans, us, to make sense of our collective and personal memory.
