Oh let me taste your tears, Scott!

Direct from Soylent Green, the greatest Feel Good Story of the day. The week. Possibly the whole month.

Now that a bit of common sense has taken hold in Queensland Australia and the free citizens have thrown just about their entire crop of Liberals out of office, the new Premier Campbell Newman, the guy elected to run the state, is dismantling nearly all the Green Initiatives that were going to Save The World from Evil Carbon and Global Warming. He’s taking them apart, brick by brick, dollar for dollar, scam by scam. And the peon assigned for the task is the guy who put them all together in the first place, Greg Withers, who just so happens to be the husband of the now disgraced and un-elected former Premier Anna Bligh. I have no idea if he will be able to get back all the green scamulus money he siphoned off to his cronies, but I’m sure Newman will make him try.

This is the best dish of down home schadenfreude ever, almost as good as Cartman’s revenge on the “Scott Tenorman Must Die” episode of South Park, which is by far the greatest episode ever of that show.

QUEENSLAND Premier Campbell Newman has ordered Anna Bligh’s husband to begin dismantling green energy programs he helped create, as the new LNP government moved to slash environmental spending to offset the federal carbon tax. The showpiece of the Gillard government’s $1.5 billion Solar Flagships Program is now in jeopardy, after Mr Newman yesterday pulled the plug on $75 million in state funding pledged for the $1.2bn Solar Dawn solar thermal project near Chinchilla, west of Brisbane.

Resources Minister Martin Ferguson yesterday suggested the federal government might withdraw its own $464m contribution, promised only last month. “If the new Queensland government chose to breach the existing financial commitment to the Solar Dawn project, the Australian government would naturally need to consider its own position,” Mr Ferguson said.

Mr Newman yesterday declared his LNP government would axe seven other green schemes, on the grounds the carbon tax would make them redundant. “We now have a federal government that is imposing a great big carbon tax on us and the rest of the country that is meant to solve all these (environmental) problems,” he said.

Mr Newman has given the job of dismantling the programs to the bureaucrat who set them up - Greg Withers, who is married to Ms Bligh.

“We want him to unravel those programs ‘cause he’s the bloke who set them up,” Mr Newman said.

I just might have to make a batch of chili to celebrate. Poh-ney! Poh-ney!!!

And if you have no idea at all about South Park, ponies, or exquisite schadenfreude, click here to watch that episode.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
