Some wonderful Cartoons in Political Satire

14.4%C at 11am Qld time & Raining & Patio temp is 9%C on Thursday 8th - Hot water bottle on my lap, and put another coat on my back - there are room heaters but I probably need one tonight so I can sleep as well as dear old fashioned hot water bottle.

I heard on the News this morning that thousands of people in Perth asked for 'help' with their electricity bill/s. Good old days when I scrounged firewood across the creek formy slow combustion stove that only partially worked! Water heater was choked up & gravity feed did not have sufficient pressure to blow it out..

Anna goanna or Anna the Blight has seen fit to up our electricity costs, & we cannot go mine for our own coal, or pick up what is dropped to keep a heater for personal use going.. I still use scraps of wood to use in portable charcoal stove as chorcoal is 6 dollars for a small packet. Stove is used during black-outs - stormy summers it is necessary. Don't have this problem in keeping warm.

The original Caldron

Young Zeg's Cartoon depicting the Unpopular 'Mining Tax' proposed by Kevin Rudd

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
from Macbeth
A dark Cave. In the middle, a Caldron boiling. Thunder.

Enter the three Witches.

1 WITCH. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.
2 WITCH. Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin'd.
3 WITCH. Harpier cries:—'tis time! 'tis time!
1 WITCH. Round about the caldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.—
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 WITCH. Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
3 WITCH. Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
Witches' mummy; maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark;
Root of hemlock digg'd i the dark;
Liver of blaspheming Jew;
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse;
Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips;
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,—
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For the ingrediants of our caldron.
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 WITCH. Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
