After yesterday arguing for nuclear power generation in Australia, John Howard has executed a bodacious u-turn instead expressing support for the majority of Australians who oppose nuclear power:
“Nuclear power is part of the solution to the problem of global warming,” he said. “Those who say they’re in favour of doing something about global warming but then turn their faces against considering nuclear power are unreal.”
Surely Johnny’s not so old that he doesn’t understand the positive implications of calling somebody unreal? Just the other day I spoke to Billybob on the phone and asked him if he wanted to come to the pub for a quick post-work sharpener.
“Oh, I don’t know, Ed. I’ve got a lot of ironing to do at home and my hair is desperate for a wash,” he said.
“Caaaarn!” I begged.
“Oh, I suppose my hankies can wait until tomorrow and I’ll wear my hair up to work,” he surrendered.
“Cool, man. You’re unreal!”
UPDATE: And Johnny’s not the only one starting to use the language of yoof. Kim Beazley is the “master blaster”.
