Rain or shine

Do you prefer the rain or the sunshine? Me, I’m a rain girl. I love nothing more than to listen to the sound of rain on the roof, watch it trickle down the window, walk through it, dance in it; thrust my head back and feel it on my eyelids and taste it on my tongue.
And I love the way the city smells clean after rain, how much more give my garden soil has, how clean my car gets and how the tram tracks squeak under my tyres.
But I was never one for excessive sunshine. What about you?
I’m sorry

There it is. It’s National Sorry Day tomorrow and I am truly sorry.
John Howard says he won’t say sorry to the Aboriginal people because it leaves the Federal Government open to legal action. Me? I think the removal of people from their families and subsequent neglect leaves governments open to legal action anyway. And so it should. If the courts believe that Aboriginal people deserve compensation, us taxpayers deserve to foot the bill - just like we do for Veterans’ healthcare.
I am not at fault for the stolen generations but I am responsible, as we all are, for the continued neglect of Aboriginal people.
Therefore, I’m sorry. And unapologetically so.
So sue me.
What is your gangsta name?

Now that Carl Williams will be behind bars until he’s 71, I don’t think he’ll be needing his nickname “baby face” any more. So I’ll have it, thanks. What would your gangster name be?
Some suggestions:
“Holey” bill
Lady “Black Widow” Chaos
The Shadow. (Nuff said.)
“No” Mercy
What do you reckon?
