Oh, those were the days, my friends, those were the days …
We thought they'd never end.
THIS YOGHURT KILLS BABIES (REDUX)
On the ABC television program "Insiders" of August 5, 2007, host Barrie Cassidy interviewed Kevin Andrews, the current Federal Minister for Immigration about his decision to deport Dr Mohamed Haneef on the basis of allegations that Haneef had been mucking it up and hooning about with some of those despicable terrorists we're forever being 'lerted and 'larmed about. Of course, most of these allegations have now been widely discredited and dismissed, and the good Minister Andrews in his desperately clumsy attempts to convince us all that his accusations were justified continues to reveal himself to be a man whose grey matter appears to comprise little else than a few dusty tumbleweeds and a blowfly.
And, aside from those pesky Indian doctors, Andrews ain’t too keen on foreign black folks either.
However, at the tail end of the interview, Cassidy began to ask Andrews about another matter entirely ...Broadcast: 05/08/2007
Life Decisions International. Is that true?
BARRIE CASSIDY: I also read this morning that you are an adviser and an honorary patron to the radical - as it's described in the newspaper - radical pro-life group
KEVIN ANDREWS: Look, I've been a patron, the Americans used the word "honorary adviser" because in America a patron is someone who pays money. I've been a patron of a pro-life organisation for about 10 years.
BARRIE CASSIDY: This group advocates economic boycotts against companies producing contraceptive pills. Is that something that you support?
KEVIN ANDREWS: Can I say, I'm a patron. I'm not involved and have never been involved in the day-to-day operation of the organisation. I'm, you know, patron of a variety of organisations.
BARRIE CASSIDY: But as a patron you lend your support to that organisation?
KEVIN ANDREWS: That's right.
BARRIE CASSIDY: And you wouldn't put your name to it unless you supported their tactics, and their tactics are to support an economic boycott against companies like GlaxoSmithKline, for example.
KEVIN ANDREWS: It's a free world, Barrie. People can advocate what they like. But as far as I'm aware, there's nothing illegal involved. As I said...
BARRIE CASSIDY: Nothing illegal about an economic boycott but it's something that you clearly support otherwise you wouldn't put your name to it.
KEVIN ANDREWS: Look, the bottom line is that this is an organisation which is pro-life. Everybody knows I'm pro-life. I'm patron of an organisation that's pro-life.
BARRIE CASSIDY: And pro-economic boycotts.
KEVIN ANDREWS: Well, as to the way in which they advocate a pro-life outcome, that's fine.
BARRIE CASSIDY: I'm just curious, one thing - what have they got against Walt Disney? Why are they demanding a boycott against Walt Disney?
KEVIN ANDREWS: (laughs) As I said, I'm not involved in their day-to-day operations. I'm a patron of it. I'm not running away from that. It's been on my declaration of interests forever and a day or ever since I've been a patron of it. That's that.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Thanks for your time this morning.
KEVIN ANDREWS: My pleasure.
Walt Disney aside, that Lion King of theirs having been long revealed to be queerer than a carpentry joint tacked together by someone with St.Vitus' dance, Life Decisions International also appear to be dead-set opposed to that infamous "culture of death" concept known as carpet on floors, listing among their "boycott targets", the companies Carpet One, Flooring America, Flooring Canada, and Flooring One.
Now, I know nothing of carpets, plush rugs never before having struck me as particularly sinister, but, perhaps summat's afoot aboot that lump of piles on my floor which has yet to shew it's evil intentions.
But why on earth would the poor old Coach Dairy Goat Farm of Pine Farms, New York be in their sights?
What have they got against a decent lump of curd?

It's a well known fact that many unwanted pregnancies are created on those flooring brands.
