blur words for pissedoffedness
not happy jan
apathy bland
interest adrift
zilch spilch
unsound sound
unfathomable
abominable
sasquatch
yeti continues
on and on and on
like persistent tinnitus
mad monk abbottabad
cliveppalmerbratvorst
titantic floundering filibusters
insane in the membrane

Note: A repost because I am still %$£”&*%$ pissed off 😠
Nudder Note: This poem might seem a bit confusing for non-Australians or people not familiar with our current political climate. I will explain a little.
The Australian Federal election will be held in a few more weeks.
Warning: Anti-coalition rant ahead
If interested, Tony Abbott is the leader of the conservative opposition (the coalition) and a complete wukfit who would like to return Australia to the 1950’s. He is renowned for his gaffs and has been known to refer to female candidates as ‘sexy’ (an attribute we are all looking for in our candidates) and said that the gay marriage movement was a ‘fashion of the day’. He doesn’t really believe in human-induced climate change and has a strategy to match his erroneous beliefs.
Clive Palmer is a billionaire mining magnate who has now entered the Federal arena with a PUP (Palmer United Party). He likes to buy expensive toys – he wants to build a replica titanic and would love to buy the Australian public; and he also seems to think the CIA is backing green groups to destroy the mining industry in Australia.
A recent survey found that a large percentage of Australians were much more concerned with refugees arriving by boat than they were with climate change.
I think we need to start paying attention to facts rather than scare mongering. Human-induced climate change is real and will have an impact on our lives that we can’t imagine. Boat arrivals of refugees are not a great threat to this nation – far more refugees arrive by plane! They are human beings who are most often escaping the horrors of war and human depravity and they are caught between a rock and a hard place.
Fun times! #NOT
Aaaarrrrrrgggghhhhh

Hooroo
Gabe Feathers McGee 
Love it Gabriel. Bet you like Wednesday nights on Chanel 2 too!
Thanks Dawn and Robert 🙂 You sure you have the right night there?
it’s ok – I’ve worked it out 🙂
No one to vote for. Dark days. I am thinking I should move to a more progressive country like New Zealand.
I’ve heard they have a very progressive sheep shearing party Jane 😉
So who do we vote for. I’m confused… They’re both crazy religious fanatics.
Hello kerrismithartist – thanks for stopping by! I think it might be a case of the lesser of two evils 😉 I think Abbott is a far crazier religious fanatic than Kevin Rudd.
Oh my…and I always thought you political sense there was better than ours…guess politics sucks no matter where you live.
Australia has just as many bad politicians as some other parts of the world Charles – hahahaha – it might be a personality disorder thing and attraction to power 😉
Sorry to point this out, but you cannot be right about climate change being a bad thing (if it not ‘bunkum). Mr Abbott goes to Mass almost every morning to pray and receive guidance, So if his attitude to climate change was incorrect, God would have guided him in that direction!!!
hahahaha you’re so upset Staffo that you are hardly making sense – but I know exactly what you mean 😉 It’s amazing how these ‘religious’ types seem to have a morality deficit – not sure how they gel their tough views on asylum seekers with the moral high ground!
Have you seen this?
http://www.secular.org.au/
Some promise there…
ha! hadn’t seen that – what we need is secular supremacy – all parties elected must assume secularity or something like that! (I must stop making up words 😉 )
hey did you get my email bb – a week or go or so – my email has gone nutso – I was responding to your email from a year ago – hahaha
I did, Gabe – thanks very much. Glad my email found it’s way to you through all that plus floods!!! Will ‘chat’ to you via reply email – would love to catch up face to face one day soon over coffee, oh, who’m I kidding – a few bottles of champagne 😀
definitely – hahaha 🙂
Politicians can’t help being the (insert plural of choice) they are, but who the heck keeps putting these dismal failures into power?
hahaha there seems to be a fundamental flaw with democracy – it is based on the voting patterns of humans 😉 who are inherently irrational beings.
In fact, the crass stupidity of humans in a mass must be the laughing stock of the universe.
so the Vogons say 😉
They should actually broadcast their poetry to the whole population.
as a punishment for all Australians 😉
“Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts
With my blurglecruncheon, see if I don’t!”
I’ve always particularly liked the last four words!
🙂
It’s a scary scene, huh?
Loved the speed of this poem, Gabrielle – and perfect opener with ‘jan’ 🙂
thanks Ashley 🙂 It’s amazing how the Not Happy Jan expression has entered our lexicon in Australia – the power of advertising. Definitely scary times ahead – good time to head off to Italy!
I know! It’s become a classic, huh? 🙂 I wish!!!
Although, it seems like trouble there too? I just wish that here, we had a choice between more than ‘conservativeA’ & ‘conservativeB’ 😀
exactly – the right and the farther right. At least Italian politics is rather entertaining in a sleazy type of way 😉
‘We need to start paying attention to facts.’ Roger that. But how to get that into our federal political discourse? Julia had a go, I think, but look what happened to her.
If there’s one thing predictable about most humans Nigel is the ability to ignore facts even when faced with mountains of evidence; and the ability to discriminate based on gender, hair colour, voice tone, marital status, religious beliefs etc., (hence bye bye Julia). I’m waiting for the aliens to come and save us 😉
And on the left, we have a narcisstic/sociopath who eats his earwax which causes him to wax lyrical about how wondrous he is; and on the right, we have a lip-licking lizzard dinosaur mad monk who thinks sex appeal is what it takes to run a country (cue photo op in red budgie smugglers) – is this the only fight there is? Dark days for Australia.
please don’t remind me of the red budgie smugglers bb 😉 or the ear wax eating thing – hahahaha I don’t really have much time for Kevin but I don’t think he is a sociopath – I have always thought he fell on the spectrum somewhere (he does have a great interest in autism …) – black and white thinker, perseverative thinking style, obsessive, oblivious to the feelings of fellow workers, tenacious in the face of extreme back stabbing, odd body language and speech patterns, hair flicking stimming, …)
Dear %$£”&*%$ pissed off
I’m planning a one-way trip to Kepler-22b. Care to join me?
hehehe – I’m with you – better than Mars anyhoo 😉 I’ll charge up the rocket as we speak (and will pack some cheddar and biscuits for the trip – and a good bottle of red)
Yummo!
Politics are pretty dire over here too,
Juliet

oh dear – at least we don’t have Putin as a leader (there is always an upside) 😉
Great poem. I have never found an adequate antidote to pissedoffness. Exhausting business. Hope yours wears off soon.
I have a feeling it will be around a while longer Kate – hahaha – I will just have to turn off the tv for a few years 😉 thankyou
I know nothing about the politics, but Pissedoffedness words are good for other occasions too since many corridors in life have their down sides — as when the new dog does her business in the house after she’s just had 5 walks. FIVE! (Bad dog.)
oh dear 😦 I know that bad doggy behaviour only too well (in fact, have to get rid of some carpets because of the doggy business 😉 ) – good to see you again Aletha (and a new dog – how exciting)
