I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed by the outcome... correction,

totally

disappointed.

But, I take some solace in the fact that in my electorate, we over-threw
Larry Anthony... so at least he won't be sitting on the front bench
anymore... Thank you to the lovely people of Richmond for seeing the light
and cleansing our electorate of the Larry 'the laughing stock' Anthony

The worst part of this election, apart from Johnny retaining his power, is
that now he has a friendly senate... they're trudging through all their
rejected bills, and are going to brute force as many as they can through

the

senate, ASAP... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Say good-bye to public health,
services and education, in my eye they're circling the plug hole anyway,

and

now Johhny just has to nudge them down with his big toe...

Hmm, I think I'll move to NZ (or Canada)

Canada rocks.

Australian Prime Minister John Howard came out on top in his quest for
a fourth term yesterday in an election with profound implications for
one of America's strongest - and longest - strategic alliances.
And, of course, for the war on terror.

Howard's victory in Australia's federal election all but guarantees
that Canberra will keep its troops in Iraq. Indeed, the presence of
Australian soldiers in the Coalition of the Willing had been a major
issue in a bitterly fought campaign.

The fact that Howard appeared actually to have increased his
government's majority in Parliament despite predictions of a very
tight outcome was described yesterday as surprising, though it
shouldn't have been.

Australia has itself been targeted by Islamic fundamentalist terror
bombers - and thus most Australians understand what is at stake at
least as well as most Americans. That is, it is no more in Australia's
interest that the war be lost than it is in America's.

Yes, there is a vociferous anti-American left in Australian politics.
But then, there is a vociferous anti-American left in American
politics, too.

Good sense, fortitude and a respect for the mandates of history came
to the fore Down Under yesterday.

We trust that the same will hold true for America on Nov. 2.
