I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Howard, huh?
Oh yeah. However, even worse is the possibility that the Libs will have a majority in the Senate and won't even need to bribe the independent/minor party Senators, to get legislation passed. Thus, no doubt we'll soon see the total sell-off of Telstra, plus a load of new industrial laws that will totally screw the workers in favour of the employers, and the complete decimation of our public health and education services.

It should be a time to cheer but it ain't gonna make any difference.

Yep, pretty much the same system.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yesterday, and after he joined the ALP.

Okay, Gus, you need to stop watching the German dubs or you'll have no brain left.

No, the Australian Labor Party. The Liberals are the conservative party here.

Always Anti-fascist!
That amuses me Gus...Ok, what's the German for "punk-ass bitch..." (Hey maybe that's the translation of my family name or something...maybe I don't want to know.)

"Weibchen des Punk-Esels", I think.
That is the point, about The Wire. The translation of the slang is just off by a concept or two. It hits you later, like "Oh! He didn't mean 'furnace', he meant 'burner'!"
eta: A burner is a cell phone that is sold with a certain number of minutes enabled. When the minutes are gone, you chuck it out. It can also be a stolen cell phone, one that will work until the owner cancels the account, at which point you chuck it out.
