Argh.
We can’t let that happen here.
I think a quote from Blackadder is appropriate here:
Blackadder: How are you, Darling?
Darling: Not all that good, Blackadder. Rather hoped I’d make it through the whole show. Return to work at Pratt and Sons, keep wicket for the Croydon Gentlemen... marry Doris. Made a note in my diary on the way here. It simply says... ‘Bugger’.
Thanks for that.
has the fat lady sang?
And the pendulum swings. Amazing how this works- people get caught in this false dichotomy of lib or conservative, and feel the need to react.
Did Howard ever try to restore gun ownership?
Meanwhile, France is going the other way, and the UK may soon follow.
Big time. She has sung, taken her bows, and is heading for the exits.
was it all about Iraq and Afghanistan, or are there other issues?
The two issues that dominated were Industrial Relations laws and the fact that the Coalition had been in power for nearly 12 years. Iraq and Afghanistan were hardly a blip.
You can rest assured it won't be portrayed that way here (U.S. & Canada) by the weenies in the liberal MSM. It will be Iraq & Afghanistan front & center ... guaranteed.
I'll bet it won't be played that way here in U.S.
Article pulled. Howard has conceded defeat.
The Aussies have been leaning towards this day for quite a while. Now it is reality. The world will have to deal with terrorism now or later. The world wants to deal with terrorism later. Its World War II all over again, thinking they can ignore evil and it will go away. Sad and tragic. A lot more people will be killed as a result. (And they want Kyoto?? They want their economy ruined from a fraudulent and phony issue?? Ugh. They are in for major pain.)
I wrote little on this topic, and when the time of campaigns actually begin, and the time comes to vote, those voting should hear nothing from outside their own country. I wish the same could be said of those who campaign here for high office, in the United States.
I will pray for wisdom for Labor Leader Kevin Rudd, Mr. Rudd's Administration, and his tenure as the Leader of Australia (affectionately know to me as the Aussies). Again to the People of Australia, I offer a prayer that our nations will continue on a path to benefit ALL of our People. The times are too perilous to NOT wish Labor leader Kevin Rudd and the people of Australia, every success. May God keep Australia safe, and Australia's People safe.
Of course they would find a way to make it Bush’s fault.
Of course.
With Sarkozy, France could become Europe's leader and obliterate all those decades of socialist crap.
He could become an example for an effective American president as well.
That is indeed sad news. Howard is a hero of mine, no matter what. Aussies, I wish you well. I can’t say I know anything about Rudd, so I’ll wait to for an opinion. But Mr. Howard is an exceptional man...and ally.
Hey...if banning,or nearly banning gun ownership works for the Australians than who are we to question it? I wonder if that's the proper way to judge the "worthiness" of an Aussie politician.There are many,many other yardsticks that one could use.
Someone correct me, but wasn’t John F’in sKerry female offspring down there working on this for the last couple of years?
