This is my first LJ update in months, and it's likely to be the last for months, if not ever. I hardly ever use LJ any more. Why? Because, since discovering Facebook and Twitter, I've discovered very little I can say in hundreds of words that I can't say in a few.
However, there's one thing I have noticed that I need to resume. I went back over my ( Read more... )

I know we normally do this on Fridays but I just can't wait that long. There is only one nominee, and do you know, I'm thinking of quitting this altogether. I don't think it's possible to top him.

And the fuckwad is...

Well, it's an hour and a half, more or less, before 2008 rolls around. That's going to be an interesting year, not only because of the Olympics, the U.S. elections, the release of the new Star Trek film and Indiana Jones IV etc. Not that 2007 wasn't an interesting year. It was a good year for me - not so good for others, including some in my family ( Read more... )

We have a problem, people.
Nobody this week seems to have reached the high standard of fuckwaddery required for nomination. Sure, we've had the usual "um...maybe" from Kevin Rudd, the usual "Mine! Mine!" from the Liberal Party, but it's been a largely fuckwad-free week. And that's sure disappointing, isn't it? Maybe in your neck of the woods, ( Read more... )

Only a couple more of these before we (read:I) select a Fuckwad of the Year to claim the prize. However, this week's been pretty fuckwad-light. I can't even nominate Kevin Rudd, since in the last week he's ratified Kyoto, brought down a pretty harsh code of conduct for ministers, moved into the Lodge and said he won't overturn the ACT's gay ( Read more... )

And what a big week it's been. Yesterday in particular. However, there can, indeed, only be one.
And the nominees this week are:

• Newly-elected Liberal Party leader Dr. Brendan Nelson, for running in the first place in the mistaken belief that someone, somewhere, other than himself, would like him to be Prime Minister.
• Prime Minister-elect Kevin Rudd ( Read more... )

OK.

Rather than a regular FOTW this week, I thought I’d go a little bit further back. With the opening of the polls due in less than a day, this is a special edition of FOTW, which I call Fuckwad of the Campaign. The special font is just because I copied the text from Word. But it could be because of the special edition. It's not, but it could be.

Howdy, and it's fuckwad time yet again. A lot of fuckwads to choose from (this is an election campaign after all), but only three nominees. And this week our choices are:

• Opposition environment spokesman Peter Garrett, for his "if we get in we'll change it all" gaffe, spoken to radio personality Steve Price off-air as a 'joke' and his pathetic ( Read more... )

There's a lot to choose from, but our three nominees this week are:

• Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott, who turned up late to a debate with his opposition counterpart Nicola Roxon, thus showing he has no respect for her or for the process.
  
• Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott, who implied that dying unionist Bernie Banton was a crook. Banton is ( Read more... )

Hey! Look! What's that!
Yes! It's a whole bunch of fuckwads!
And the nominees this week are:

• Author and extremely wealthy person J.K. Rowling, for her "startling" admission that Dumbledore is gay, despite this never really being in the books and not being in any way a means of keeping her name and product in the news and selling more books, no ( Read more... )
