Duh

The NSW Liberal George Souris says: "NSW is not Paris" and this is why licensing laws should not change.

Thankfully the divine Ms Clover Moore knows that we can aspire to something.. ;)

Who would you choose to run the country?

I thought the ALPs had conquered cool in politics with the preselection Peter Garrett. He is rather dapper and certainly has enough lefty cred to sometimes satisfy me..

But Russia has lifted the Iron Curtain to reveal the smouldering eyes and penchant for checks of the Elvis of Chess.

They're both well suited to politics in their very different ways but I bet Kasparov would scare the bejeezus out of whoever he was sitting across from in parliament..

He could be thinking about anything with that steel-trap mind. He's probably even friends with Uri Geller.

More power to him.

For the record

Since it seems the done thing at the moment I should like to inform the Australian population that I have not been to a strip club. Although I wouldn't mind changing this..

And *bless* Bob Brown again:

"Four years ago, Kevin Rudd got drunk and took himself into a strip club," Senator Brown said.
"Four years ago, John Howard, sober, took Australia into the Iraq war. I think the electorate can judge which one did the more harm," he said.

The man gets my vote and my knickers thrown at the podium.

Tainting the broth

The gay community can do without Alan Jones.
The red-heads of Australia can do without Pauline Hanson.
The Australian population could do without Olivia Newton-John.

Discuss.

I Claudia

Am now here on I can't believe it's not Friendster.

I also hereby submit notice that my autobiography shall hilariously be called: I Claudia.

Couldn't Resist

Unfortunately I have copped a lethal dose of StalkBook and have neglected my political ranting (online at least - still going at it in bars of the world with the rest of them). However.. God Gerard Henderson is an irksome little wart!

I do love this part of this article though:

"During the initial hearing before the Federal Court on July 18, Justice Jeffrey Spender effectively ridiculed the Crown's case. He maintained that he, too, would fail such a character test because he has "been associated with persons suspected of criminal conduct". The implication of Spender's comment is that there is no difference between the judges or barristers who, as part of their profession, have associated with individuals suspected of criminal conduct"

Lets get this clear; lawyers and their ilk DO interact with people who have engaged in criminal conduct. That's their job. You've got to worry a little about people who choose this as a profesion don't you? That aside, surely we've all at some time been associated with individuals suspected of criminal conduct in one way or another.. sure there's a big difference between fare evasion or a little spliff and terrorism but the logic is the same. How far does our culpability extend?
