While not directly related to Sport, this could have a sizable impact on Bowl fest '09 (i.e. The Captain, JB and my trip to the Doncaster in two weeks) and needs to be mentioned. I am of course referring to the High Court challenge to the $900 stimulus package which is currently being debated.
Bryan Pape, Law lecturer at UNE and Nationals party member is trying to stop the payments through arguing that the Federal stimulus payments are unconstitutional. First, let me clarify something, as an economist I could never argue that these stimulus payments were the BEST way to inject life into the economy. However, in a world where political constraints make the best option hard to come by, these payments are as good an outcome as one could hope for. And actually, as an unreconstructed Keynseian I kind of love this blunt approach of throwing a big wad of cash at a problem. Sure, there may be some long term inflationary pressures but fuck the long term and give me some cash.
Anyway, this is where the douchebaggery of Bryan Pape enters. Look I am not going to go into his reasons (which beyond making himself semi-famous are unfathomable to me), but here is the deal: This is an economic issue. Lawyers, be they Bryan Pape or the High Court have no reason to be involved in this. This is an issue about injecting much needed funds into the economy. There is a benefit to doing this quickly. This is not the time to go off on a rant about the rights of the states and the dangers of unfettered federalism. In order to grab his moment in the spotlight, Bryan Pape is prepared to say a massive fuck-you to Australia. Every single one of us. Call it a vested interest if you will, but there is also the issue of MY cash.
I guess you could always send him an email.

He's got that whole "I got picked on for being a nerd at school so I'm going to be a massive douche for the rest of my life" look. I'd kick him sooooooo hard in the nuts. And then smash his fucking glasses all over his face. What a total fag.
It's ok for Mr Fuckface from his ivory fucking tower, who's built a nest egg over the 100 years he's been alive. He probably even has a gold plated pool with sharks in it so the $250 he was going to receive because he's semi-retired seems irrelevant. Aaaaarrrggghhh the rage....here it comes...!...!..!!..!!!!!
But what about the constitution?
fuck lawyers, fuck their bullshit. who gives a fuck you old fucker, just hurry up and die already and take a few of your fucked up fuckball lawyers with you. Unconstitutional, I'll tell you whats unconstitutional, the government restricting the sale of firearms and at the same time letting this fucksnap continue fucking it up for everyone else - fuck you you sorry fuck. To fucked up old fucks Australia says fuck you. Can we fuck this fucker up before he fucks us in the ass, I say, yes we fucking can.
"fuck the long term and give me some cash"...that would be a great line in a song...
Isn't it the title of a country & western love ballard?
That's some serious vitriol there JB. Was that good for the soul?
fuck the long term and give me some cash... maybe we can get some shirts printed up with this on the WHAB store.
If we get cock-blocked by this clown, we'll need to sell a bunch of shirts.
Have a chat with him:
His email is bpape2@une.edu.au.
Or call him -
Phone:
02 6773 2331
or send a fax:
Fax:
02 6773 3602
And what would I have in common with this fucking clown? What would I chat to him about? The law? What it's like having 15mins of fame? How to get through another day without dying? How to pole millions of Aussie battlers right up the ass? Or maybe we could chew the fat over a beer beside his gold plated pool and feed the sharks...
We could sell something like 7.2 million shirts with the slogan "I Got Cock-Blocked By Bryan Pape!". It's always good to have a Plan B...
