The V word.
Reasons why anything related to the word Vale or Vaille or so on kind of sucks right now:
1. Mark Vaille!
At least, I'd probably think he was in the shit if it weren't for the following:
'"Haven't you seriously misled the House," Mr Beazley asked Trade Minister Mark Vaille in Parliament yesterday.
Mr Vaile replied "no" and sat down.'
HOW COULD WE POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN CONCERNED.
2. Danna Vale!
Look, she likes Muslims. She just doesn't like like them, okay?
p.s. The part I enjoy most about this story is that she has now been invited around to Amanda Vanstone's house for 'cucumber sandwiches and a cup of tea'. TAKE YOUR FUCKING PUNISHMENT, YOU AMUSINGLY INSANE FILTHPOT.
3. Ghost Vaille!
'Vaille Mansion - Former insane asylum. Ghosts in the wooden room of faces. Upper part of mansion that is closed off to public is haunted by Mrs. Vaille who killed herself by overdosing on morphine after her husband Mr. Vaille went crazy and died. (January 2004 correction: Mrs. Vaille did not kill herself after her husband went crazy and died. She took fatal dose of morphine, as stated, but not because he went crazy. she did it because Mr. Vaille was in trouble for mail fraud, and was possibly facing a jail sentence, which is why she killed herself. He never went to jail, since he didn’t do it, but she didn’t know that. He lived five years after his wife’s death and never remarried.)'
It has nothing much to do with anything but I found it whilst googling and enjoyed the correction immensely.
4. Vale relative!
A relative of mine died last week. Please don't feel sorry for me, I didn't much care for him and neither did my folks and a few other sensible people.
The thing is, the inbred fake-teeth side of our family put a death notice in the paper with our names attached. What is the possible recourse to such an offensive gesture? We don't mind that he died, nor that they wanted to pay respects, but WE CERTAINLY DID NOT WANT TO PASS ON REGARDS TO THE AFTERLIFE, IF YOU GET MY MEANING.
So we tried to call the newspaper to print a retraction - you know, 'the views expressed do not necessarily reflect' etc. But they wouldn't let us. What is our option now? Do we carefully word a coded 'fuck you'? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
632 days til the next election.

From your words it seems the day of the funeral has already passed. If not I was going to suggest heckling, but that doesn't go far in enlightening the wider community of your true feelings.
As such I suggest the only proper, and effective course of action is to buy advertsing time during Bert's Family Fued.
Synergy is your friend.
oh, there was no funeral. He just got set on fire.
no wonder you didn't want to put a notice in... you should wait for natural causes before going crazy with the lighter fluid. shitty relative or no.
apology
even in "apologising" she's still a fucking goose. i wonder if she knows what being a racist actually means. like using the words Muslim and Australian in a mutually exclusive manner. or is that Religionist? or maybe just fucked? either way, I'm sure the good folks in her electorate will just vote her out next time around, right??
Isn't Danna Vale the one that wanted to recreate Gallipoli right here in our own backyard? Kinda says it all, don't it...
Is that like saying "Some of my best friends are muslims, but..."
I mean, we either have freedom of religion in this country or we don't. We can't wear the badge of tolerance while dreading the day when people (supposedly) of their own free will choose to have a particular faith.
It does tend to suggest that "Christian" Australians are somehow preferable to "other".
Goodness me... what if aboriginal infant mortality went down and their life expectancy and general health went up... we might have an increase in the aboriginal population! Oh, but that won't happen under this government. Ever.
Now if only we could get them to promise that at an election, they'd be duty bound to break their word, and give the real locals some decent healthcare.
Oh, about the "other" side of the family, I think it's the height of rudeness to include you in a message of condolence, especially one where certain faith based beliefs may have been involved.
I suggest taking out obituary notices for each of the family members responsible, under various religious icons, until you get sick of it. Or they do.
Surely it's like... defamation or something?
Don't you want to just give her a big ol' hug? Bless her rambling and deranged heart.
New AWB document appears and says
"Inland transport fees are paid via Alia in Jordan who then pay the Ministry of Transport in Iraq. The fees are approved by the UN,"

It sounds like there will be more fun and games for Mark yet. Still highly unlikely that we'll be seeing the headline "Vale Vaille" in the near future. Accountability? Sure.
You might like to have a listen to Dana Vale's greatest hits as complied on Triple J's Hack yesterday. You have to scroll through to the end, it was in the last five minutes. This girl is pure gold.

RE: Ghost Vaille
What do you reckon are the odds that relative from Mr Vaille's side of the family got in with that correction?
*She took fatal dose of morphine, as stated, but NOT because he went crazy.
*He never went to jail, SINCE HE DIDN'T DO IT
Getting their story straight, much?
Also Dana Vale is an absolute freak (obv why she is a liberal) and your relo's are totally out of line with naming names that didn't ask to be named ... not sure what your best recourse is though.....
blurst link ever...
At last Springvale is looking good.

Re dead relative: please disregard sympathetic email sent prior to reading this post. Thanks.

She's also the one who wrote a love letter to Alan Jones, declaring her's and the government's hugs and support while he was being investigated by the ABA - Then faxed it to John Laws instead, who promptly read it on air.
I can sympathise with your 'that side of the family' syndrome, Ms Fits.
I too have a 'that side of the family' (pat_pend), one that my mother took up with after she and my father divorced.
I don't buy that 'blood's thicker than water' shit.
If someone doesn't give you the Micky Conlans* then they just don't.
Thankyou for saying what I've felt and didn't perhaps feel quite right about for a long time.
I'll light some Sai Baba special, sit cross legged and repeat after myself:
"It's okay not to like someone just because they happen to be related to you."
Better. Much better.
This is really stupid and will never happen, but I was thinking the other day that if you and I ever got married and decided in a fit of drug-induced psychosis to hyphenate our surnames, we would be Mr and Mrs Doodle-Fits.
Or Fits-doodle.
* The sight of Micky Conlan tucking the ball under has ample bicep, bursting through a pack and onto the wing before dropping the prune onto Superboot's chest gave me my first remembered moment of palpable excitement.
In reference to the dead, burnt relo:
I reckon you are going to have to leave sleeping dogs lie.
I feel for you and your family in your time of anguish over an unsolicited bereavement notice but this battle isn't worth it. The dead , yet much disliked, person isn't going to see it so I'd save my energy for the battles against the unworthy living.
Fitzy, did you know about this?
