Fetch Capitalism

The 2004 movie Mean Girls had a cute scene showing one of the 'trendy' girls trying desperately to have others start using the word 'fetch' as an adjective.


Despite some assistance from www.makingfetchhappen.com, fetch is not going to happen.

Since hearing the term "Disaster Capitalism" by fellow leftard Naomi Klein, Antony Loewenstein has been trying for some time to have "Diasaster Capitalism" happen. According to his ever-expanding bio, he's writing a book about it (and at least three other books also).
He is currently working on a book about disaster capitalism and privatisation in Australia, the Asia-Pacific, the “war on terror” and beyond, a book about the role of the Left in modern politics and a title on the Israel/Palestine conflict.
My Serco Question is another bestseller for sure. Well, as long as the publishers don't reject it, again forcing Antony to beg for donations to pay his electricity bill.

Antony's last (ahem) bestseller, the "Blogging Revolution" was revised. According to Antony:
Now, post the Arab uprisings, I’ve updated the title
Arabs being shot in the street will be pleased to know that according to Middle East Expert and regular contributor to the ABC and Fairfax, the Arab uprisings are over.

That's got to be the weakest segue imaginable, Lieutenant Dan. However it does give us some insight into your favourite movies.

'Arabs being shot in the street will be pleased to know that according to Middle East Expert and regular contributor to the ABC and Fairfax, the Arab uprisings are over'

and that is the sad truth of a self styled middle east expert.

At least, ahem, 'anon' at 1:18 has gone back to the non racist Lt. Dan pet name, confirming 'anon's' facile mental abilities. Once again.

P.S. Is tagging you with the "Lt Dan" moniker meant to be a clever insult?

The Wounded Warrior Foundation, the USO, Operation Children International and other beneficiaries of the Gary Sinise Foundation and his Lt Dan Band concerts & shows mightn't see it that way.

Most recently, the Lt Dan Band rocked Camp Lejeune (NC) last weekend. Check it out:

Sorry, Troll. Try a new meme.
