Sol Trujillo- Adios Loser

Since trying to screw both sides of the political spectrum, and in fact making himself so unpopular in Canberra that he had to pay hookers to get a meeting in the town, Sol has decided to stick the fangs in with a parting shot describing Australia as "Racist and Backward". So, I thought today we would use the Chaser view of him as a going away gift.

Dirty Deeds

For us mere mortals who probably wont be able to go to the concert which was sold out in 2.7 seconds, here is a treat.

Mental Health week in China?

A man contemplating suicide last Thursday in the southern Chinese city Guangzhou received a less-than-helpful hand when he was pushed from the bridge by an angry onlooker.

Distraught over accumulating 2 million yuan ($290,000) in debt, Chen Fuchao had been contemplating suicide for hours on the Haizhu Bridge before Lai Jiansheng approached him, shook his hand, and pushed him from the ledge where he was standing.

Suicidal Man in China Pushed from Bridge

The not-so-gentle nudge caused Chen to fall 26 feet (8 meters) onto a semi-inflated emergency air cushion, laid out earlier by authorities. Chen survived the fall and is recovering in the hospital with injuries to his elbow and spine, China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported on Saturday.

As for Lai, push had apparently come to shove for 66-year-old, who called Chen’s activity “selfish.” The area surrounding the bridge had been sealed off during Chen’s suicide attempt, resulting in a five-hour traffic jam.

“I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interest,” Lai told Xinhua. “They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities’ attention to their appeals.”

According to Xinhua, Lai asked police if he could speak with Chen. When his offer was refused, he broke through the cordon, climbed to Chen, and greeted him with a handshake and a shove.

Lai was released on bail Friday, reported the Beijing Morning Post. The paper also said Laid has been on medication for “a mental illness” for decades and had been on his way to a hospital for his pills.

The Haizhu Bridge has been the site of 11 other suicide attempts since April.

Keating

Without a doubt the greatest parliamentarian known to man. Debate all you like about what sort of a PM the guy made, but we are all the poorer without PJ in the parliament anymore.
