STT followers might have twigged to our sense of irony which, on the odd occasion, drifts all the way to sarcasm. Sometimes a wry line requires considered imagination. But, other times, this stuff literally writes itself. This saga from Saga in Japan is almost too funny for words. Anti-nuke scaremongers rave on about the purported … Continue reading Japanese Pyro Saga: Wind Turbine Explodes in Fireball at Nuclear Power Plant

Barry Funfar: A Damaged Marine Forsaken by his own Country
**** The US Marines are renowned for their do or die bravado.

ETSA: Sir Tom Playford’s Ghost

John “Marshall” Madigan Declares War
A couple of posts back we covered a Fin Review piece in which it was suggested that SA’s favourite Greek, Nick Xenophon and John “Marshall” Madigan had come out swinging in favour of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC). At the time, STT said that Senators Xenophon and Madigan were merely using their positions … Continue reading John “Marshall” Madigan Declares War

Greens Senator Richard “Die Nasty” cops it from Hamish Cumming
**** It’s official: the Australian Greens are fully paid-up advocates for the wind industry. Back before the Federal election we reported on how Vestas & Co had poured something like $1 million into the Greens’ advertising war chest in a futile effort to knock off STT champion, Independent Senator, Nick Xenophon. The Greens became a … Continue reading Greens Senator Richard “Die Nasty” cops it from Hamish Cumming
Esther Wrightman: Get mad! Stay mad! Make history!
A while back we covered Esther Wrightman, suggesting that this fine young Canadian gives “courage” a new name. True to form, Esther’s at it again, telling Ontario’s farmers and families to “Get mad! Stay mad! Make history!” Here’s an extract of her cracking little speech to the “Unwilling Hosts” Rally in Ontario on 19 October … Continue reading Esther Wrightman: Get mad! Stay mad! Make history!
