My apologies. I was wrong.
In my previous post I talked about what I thought was an important event; people of Iraq defying death threats to exercise their democratic right. I thought it was not only newsworthy but heroic and inspiring. Apparently, it’s not as important as I first thought.
What is important is that the world’s number 2 ranked male tennis player and a pretty young actress from an Australian soap opera got engaged last night. How do I know that this is important? I know that this is important because it was the lead story on tonight’s television news.
I apologise. I will try to get my priorities right next time.

The world will forgive you of this horrid mistake.
Don’t you just love tabloid journalism? Thank goodness for ABC, SBS and BBC World Service.
it’s the same here in Canada … sometimes the lamest bits of fluff get elavated to the mega-font front page news … duh!
Rodney you’re right, you are awful! It’s good of you to apoligize for your sordid error. Scoundrel! 🙂
In America it’s the same thing. Britney spears – who cares!
Not to worry Rodney. In a few years history will have been sufficiently revised as to edit out the need for your apology. We will all be told that we ALL talked about tennis affairs (snicker) today.
Well, according to Channel 9, this romance has: “captivated all Australians”
Evidently this is incorrect also since Rodney doesn’t appear to be captivated…
It’s all a big mess!
Maybe it’s time to see the fulfilment of the the “Mystery Babylon” thing in terms of post-Christian, post-modern, Austrailan society …
You’ll be re-assured…there was also general rolling-of-the-eyes around the 6PR studio area as well as 7 started its bulletin with that.
I spotted Barich hiding in the corner…..trying hard not to be noticed…..
