Greens split on whether lying is good
Andrew BoltJANUARY182013(1:04am)
The Greens are split. Not all Greens MPs agree it is fine to lie and cheat people out of their savings to push their agenda.
Is any other party led by people who publicly and brazenly defend lying? Odd, then, that the Greens pride themselves on being the moral alternative.

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES

IT’S THE USUAL STORY
Tim Blair – Friday, January 18, 2013 (11:44am)
Splitters! And in other Greens news, the party is again pleading to its base:
The Greens are calling for room in the federal budget to help young artists make a living and support risk-taking art.
So they want a safety net for risk-takers. Makes sense in GreensWorld.
‘’I think that in Australia it’s the usual story where so many artists struggle to make a living andthey’re trying to work two or three jobs in order to be able to keep a roof over their heads, while they pursue the love that they have for their art,’’ Senator Milne told Fairfax Media.
Artists are working three jobs? Sounds like the private sector is already providing all the funding these creative types require.

15 YEARS OF FICTION

Karen Jeffrey no longer works for the Cape Cod Times:
In an audit of her work, Times editors have been unable to find 69 people in 34 stories since 1998, when we began archiving stories electronically.On Tuesday, Jeffrey admitted to fabricating people in some of these articles ...
On the up side, nobody ever complained about being misquoted.
