A British reverend has likened John Howard to the man who ordered the execution of Jesus. I disagree; Howard would never order Jesus be executed. He’d be detained indefinitely on Christmas Island instead, which for Jesus means a non-stop birthday party! But Howard would never order the execution of Jesus. He’d get a minister to […]

Tonight – bearded ladies, sword swallowers and other names for Liberal ministers. Smears! Last week, a story circulated about Kevin Rudd having heart surgery. Now there’s a rumour about a married govt. minister who is secretly gay, visits bath houses and is having an affair with one of his male staffers. In particular, one of […]
Kevin Rudd’s launched his election campaign already. In fact he’s so sure of becoming PM now that he thought he was able to announce the election date himself.

Well, imagine no more – welcome […]
And it’s been revealed that Kevin Rudd was stumbling drunk in a New York strip club 4 years ago. Of course, this will change many people’s opinion of him: now he’s PM for sure! Of course, this has changed many people’s opinion of him: the latest polls show that people will only vote for him […]
Well, we’re back at the all-new time of 9:25 Saturday nights… and that means more blog posts of Mat & Wok’s weekly brain dump. Here’s last week’s material for the stories that went to air.

In the US, anti-terror chiefs have hired a team of science-fiction writers to dream up new techniques to win the war on terror. After all, it is a fictional war on an imaginary enemy. The Americans have been great at inventing vibrant characters, bizarre plotlines and fabricated evidence, they just need a bit of help […]
