Q's Without A's

12 days to go. How can there still be 12 days to go? It feels like they are repeating themselves already.

"I'm the most unrelenting and heartless on humanitarian issues that have no affect on the average voter, and in fact represents a broader insecurity that their well-funded, insular lifestyle is thoroughly undeserved."

"No I'M the most unrelenting and heartless on humanitarian issues that have no affect on the average voter, and in fact represents a broader insecurity that their well-funded, insular lifestyle is thoroughly undeserved…..and I hate women."

Over and over again with the same dross, like a three week projectile vomit of tepid scheme water. Only Q and A on the ABC has produced anything resembling decent performance from someone who counts. Even then most of them were akin to inoffensive dog shit – white, brittle and completely devoid of character. Not that I can watch Q and A anyway, as I can not stand the smug, self-important audience members who think that just because they can ask a loaded political question without stumbling, Tony Jones might give them a collegial wristy after the show.

SBS's Insight is no better, and in fact is much worse. Where Q and A merely allows the idiots to ask questions, Insight actually asks their opinion. It does so while discussing issues so intractable that you already know what people are going to say. It is a complete waste of time and is just plain infuriating. If I hear one more supposedly spontaneous round of applause for a comment so pathetically mundane that it could have appeared in an Australia Democrats advertising campaign, I will take out my machete and go a-hacking. Hands are a privilege, not a right. Tell it to someone who cares stumpy (this also goes for imbeciles who clap out of time at concerts).

"Tonight on Insight we discuss the Israel and Palestine conflict – Is there a solution?"

I don’t know, probably not, but if there was it is not going to be found on SBS on a Tuesday night. They might as well discuss "Abbott versus Howard – who is the bigger shithead?" or "Wilson Tuckey and Barnaby Joyce – who is the most likely to have a bunker filled with bottled water?" It's all the same meaningless bullshit that leaves people exactly where they started. Entrenched in views cunningly chosen when they thought it would impress someone they wanted to fuck.

And this is the stuff most people deem 'too intellectual'.

Learn to swim.
