He was right in with the Westboro Baptist last week. Those poor, clueless, insanely cute and innocent, cult members really break my heart. So proud of their fake smiles as they proclaim their glee at such horrific prognostications.

I wish we had an Australian rendition of both this author and book.

The closest I have found is...

Larrikins: A History (Paperback) by Melissa Bellanta
Paperba.

.... And like I need another book...

Cant help myself.
