Thinking of Linking

This week I have been mostly reading...

Australia:
Broadbent denies Mafia ties

Playing the ban - Tony Abbott’s Q&A saga continues

16 Old Liberal Tweets That Are Now Hilarious Because Of The QandA Boycott (Buzzfeed warning)

How baffling is the Abbott government’s assault on windfarms?

Bronwyn Bishop job bid leaves taxpayers with huge expense bill

Speaker Bronwyn Bishop reduces risk of charges by refunding taxpayers for flight

Bishop helicopter trip referred to Australian Federal Police

Music:
Lyric Of The Week: Marc Cohn, “Walking In Memphis”

Science: 
The not-planets

Tech:
Commodore returns as a 5.5-inch, nostalgia-powered smartphone

Faith:
Laudato Si’ (pdf)

Mental health:
Each time I start a job, I dread the day I'll have to tell them about my mental illness

I got stupid on me and now I need to wipe it off on you:
The Government Think Aussie Musicians Earn More Money Than Everybody

Trump Lashes Out At McCain: 'I Like People Who Weren't Captured' Hey Don! I like businesspeople who haven't declared bankruptcy. Four times.

The least boring photo on my camera roll:

About Me

My photo
Bill
Computer tutor, IT handyman, presenter of Strawberry Fields Radio, occasional songwriter and musician, and writer of some notes. Here you will find my thoughts on music, politics, music DVDs and life in general. I read the comments. By the way, if anyone is wondering, since it’s an abbreviation of web-log, ’blog should be spelt with an apostrophe, like ’phone.
