Vulgar, profane, but well written, and spot on, this little piece points out the wonderful lack of bias in the news reports on the proposed tax on CO2 pollution, and the effects thereof.

Meantime, El Reg, an organ not noted for supporting the science providing evidence of anthrogenic climate change, had surprisingly positive things to say about the proposal! http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/07/11/carbon_tax_in_australia/

    That was...amazing :-) Once I'd sorted through the verbiage, it seemed clear that I would be compensated the (probable?) $10 I'd be charged for the C Tax. The worst I can say about that is it seems to be a waste of admin to charge me in the first place, but then, I'm not in on the details or the numbers.

    If you have a look at the article on El Reg, the reason for it all becomes a lot clearer.

Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery For this one I have one clear instruction before we begin. Pick up the cheese, step away from the cheese-board, and get thee to the kitchen.

Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child. Roll forward a dozen years and a few more, and this is Raclette. The bitter-edged teenager child - probably miffed that Cheddar failed to find and defeat that foe. Raclette is a cheese
