The Channel 9 New Wrap

Was watching channel 9 local news today (funny story, as half an hour ago I was just telling my brother I couldn’t name one show that I watch on 9 that wasn’t sport), any way, as Don King says gotta keep my eyes on the prize here, any a couple of stories caught my eye.

1. The NSW state government opposition believes it to be a winner idea for local communities such as Armidale to have state sponsored market gardens in order to supply the community with cheap and fresh fruit and vegetables (at better value and quality than the coles/woolworths of the world), while also creating employment. I myself agree with this idea, and in the past have been a member of many gardens where a few hours a week guarantees you wish plenty of fresh vegies to fill you plate. But here comes the crunch, the newsreader then shows this scratchy footage of people hoeing corn, pulling weeds, etc etc, and he says something like “this model has worked in Cuba, which has been cut off from the global market for many years. Market gardens in Havana supply the city with 80% of the city’s produce”.
   Okay, now get up off the ground and sit back down on the seat, couch, train seat, toilet or where ever you were sitting while reading this. Is the news trying to tell us that communist principles are okay. Is the state governemt been infiltrated by red commie bastards? I don’t know but I say right on, put your money where your mouth is and get this shit going.
   As a side note on, Kevin Humphries, the minister interviewed for this news story is actaully shadow minister for aboriginal affairs… just shows you how much they really care about the black fellas as he is so busy fighting for their cause, that he is out in his electorate answering questions about market gardens.
2. R.I.P Richard Pratt – Who thought you could make so much money out of boxes.
3. Sonny Bill may be coming back to Australia as a boxer. Good news…. I say line him up to fight Anthony “the mouth” Mundine and hopefully they will both beat the shit out of each other, both die of brain aneurisms, thus removing in my opinion, the two most annoying pratts (that ones for you Richard) to ever come out of rugby league
   

Endnote: Mundine will be available as he has already beaten up every boxcar hobo from the east to the west coast of Australia
