Dear Vice,
There are some crazy, crazy things going on in the world at the moment which was never more clear to me than the moment I picked up Brisbane's favourite sensationalist tabloid on the weekend. Sharing the front page with a picture of Beirut airport-post-air-strike was a story about how over $22,000 in cutlery had been stolen from Parliament House in the past year. Fucking unbelievable! Admittedly, most of the glasses I drink from are stolen from one local bar or another but pubs factor that shit into their ordering and I'm pretty confident a glass is worth a lot less than the $60 that each of their teaspoons apparently go for. Anyway, I suffer from insomnia so last night googled this and it turns out that it goes deeper. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of furniture and shit that went missing from the same place a few years ago recently turned up in the caravan of a retired parliamentarian and a bag full of the lost cutlery turned up on a beach in NSW. I'm determined not going to give any more thought or energy to this ridiculous spectacle but spending time on it did seem to cure my inability to sleep so I thought I'd share it with anyone who might not have heard yet.
