Hi, Bob.

BL>  BL> It's important to annoy as many people as possible... just see
BL>  BL> how successful Pauline has been.

BL>  KR> yes didn't she come across well on "38 minutes" (:

BL>   I don't watch it. Ballykissangel is much more informative and has
BL> better journalists.

Yeah, unfortunately it just died. But at least Henry Crabbe is back as
the replacement. Carna Pies! (in the sky)

BL>   TV is pathetic. I tape the news every night and fast forward the
BL> crap. I end up watching about 10 minutes. What I really need is a
BL> faster fast-forward.

BL>   Pauline is going to have a massive effect on policy in Oz... they're
BL> already responding. I did a few sums on 20% support in the Senate and
BL> she coudl end up with 15 senators in the double dissolution Dikwit
BL> Johnnie is talking about.

BL>   I am constantly amazed at how quickly politicians lose the plot.
BL> Johnnie had the perfect opportunity for a double dissolution last
BL> November. He had a 40-seat majority, 80% public appproval after the
BL> gun-nut episode, and three triggers (Telstra, Industrial relations and
BL> I foget the other one). I was telling everyone what a genius he was!

That bloke at Longreach got it right. Totally polite, thank you for
coming Prime Minister etc, etc. But we elected you as the boss, and
bosses make *decisions*. And then he sat down.

As someone commented to me tonight, little Johnny could hardly talk from
the saliva bubbles sticking his lips together.

Regards, fIM.
