And speaking of media lowlifes...
Tim Blair spots Time’s Liam Fitzpatrick and applies the clue bat:
“There is a strange bipolarity in the Australian psyche,” writes Time’s Liam Fitzpatrick:
Compare the louche abandon of the Sydney Mardi Gras with the gruff, homophobic machismo of the outback.
By this standard, every place on earth is bipolar. Compare the louche abandon of Castro Street with the gruff, homophobic machismo of gangsta rap. Compare the louche abandon of the lobster with the gruff, homophobic machismo of the sea bass. Compare Liam Fitzpatrick with someone who has a clue.
Contrast the shining, multicultural cities with rural outposts where shadowy, armed survivalists zealously prophesize an Indonesian invasion.
Excuse me? Care to provide some names and locations, pal?
Sorry Tim, Little Liam is on the louche side himself.
