Scull a beer and Mr Abbott's name goes around the world faster than when he was called a misogynist by a desperate Gillard. Naturally the anti Abbott forces are offended by the seven second effort. Should a PM be filmed like that? Mr Abbott, #IllDrinkWithU .. Meanwhile Hockey returns home and media are damning his budget before it s released.
Daylight shooting in Paramatta. Bullets fired through an office where three people worked. An immigration business asks not to be named as they were targeted. The shooter left his finger prints on a car he is seen by video to touch. It seems to involve Indian peoples by ethnicity, but not as a racist attack.
Five arrested regarding terror suspects in Melbourne. Some questioned in custody, Family and friends claim the arrests were over the top. Want apologies. One hopes an apology is not forthcoming. It seems ISIL have attempted to recruit for Anzac Day attacks.
In 65, a freed man betrayed a plot to assassinate Nero. History is silent as to what happened to the plotters, but Flavius Scaevinus, the principal plotter, seems to have been Consul under Otho and later exiled by Vitellius. In 797, the mother from hell, Empress Irene, organised a conspiracy against her son, Byzantine Emperor Constantine VI. He was deposed and blinded, shortly after dying of wounds. But he wasn't a good emperor anyway. Or popular. In 1012, an Archbishop of Canterbury, Ælfheah, was martyred by Vikings. He had refused to allow them to ransom him. They got drunk and he died when one hit him with an axe butt. Shortly before his own death, Thomas Becket prayed to Ælfheah. In 1770, Captain Cook first sighted the East Coast of Australia. On the same day in 1770, Marie Antoinette married French King Louis XVI and so forever validated the lyrics to VanGelis' Mr Cairo. In 1775, US revolutionaries were successful at the battles of Concord and Lexington. In 1782, John Adams successfully negotiated with the Netherlands recognition of the US. His house in the Hague became the first US embassy. In 1865, a funeral for Lincoln was held in the East Wing of the White House. In 1897, Léo Taxil, admitted to people he had duped, that his conversion to Catholicism was false and his writings were a hoax. In 1903, the Kishinev pogrom, resulted in Jews migrating to Palestine and the West. In 1919, Leslie Irvin used the first successful voluntary, free fall parachute. In 1943, Albert Hofmann, a Swiss Chemist, voluntarily took LSD for the first time. 1951, Douglas MacArthur retired. 1956, Grace Kelly married her Prince. In 1971, Charles Manson was sentenced to death, but that sentence was later commuted. 1984, Advance Australia Fair was made Australia's national anthem and Green and Gold were her colours. In 1985, FBI used 200 agents to successfully siege a neo-Nazi HQ of The Covenant, The Sword and the Arm of the Lord. In 1987, the Simpsons premiered. In 1993, the FBI siege of Branch Davidians on the fifty first day resulted in 81 deaths. In 1995, the Oklahoma bombing took place killing 168. In 2013, terrorist Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed by police in a shootout, but his brother Tamerlan was tragically taken alive.
2014
One of the greatest books of the greatest US writers is now largely forgotten. Jurgen is a fantasy set in a fantasy land that is faintly European. The protagonist is an ageing pawn broker who was a poet in his youth. He sees a priest stub a toe on a cobblestone and curse the devil. He upbraids the priest, pointing out the devil had done far more work than the priest ever did. A large man of no necessary (to record) description thanked Jurgen for taking his part. And offered to reward him. Jurgen says that it is too late, because he is married. When Jurgen goes home, his wife has disappeared. Jurgen is fine with that, but family convince him he needs to do the manly thing and journey to get her back. On his journey, he finds a pink cave and, on donning a magic shirt, is transported into his earlier self, and meets those he loved or dreamed of, including Guinevere, Helen of Troy and his first love. It was published in 1919 and immediately faced legal troubles with censorship. It took three years in court, and finally was cleared for publication, but not until James Branch Cabell had added a chapter to it addressing censors. A greater work is the later Figures of Earth.
On this day in 1925, Mae West was sentenced to ten days jail for her play she wrote and starred in, Sex. The play had run for ten months, and was seen by over 325,000 patrons before the censors sprang into action. The play had been inspired by a prostitute West had seen in 1924. The girl wore street clothes and had a sailor in each arm and West had remarked she could afford better clothes, but her taxi companion pointed out she couldn't and told her of the economics of the transaction. Fifty cents a trick might be the name of a modern rapper, but in 1924 it was a piece work salary. The play was not particularly inspired with original direction, but, Mae meant it as an instruction to liberate women.
Censors managed to obscure the brilliant and pathetic, but as with those who attempted to kill Hitler, they just missed their mark.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what it's like until they've been there. Keep heart David take care.
