My first impression of Australia was from a show I saw in syndication called Whiplash >[link] with Peter Graves. I wanted his hat. I Googled because I didn't remember the name of the show, just Peter Graves and Australia, and learned that Gene Roddenberry wrote for it.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Mine was Skippy! Which was like Flipper but with a kangaroo.
Dear lord, I remember this show. Probably better than Flipper, for some reason.

Speaking of Australia, saw an extended preview for Baz's new film last night during Mad Men and was melting into a puddle of goo over the absolute gorgeousness. (And Huge Jackman looked quite lovely too *g*)

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Family Guy: Nazis Back McCain-Palin (VIDEO)
The popular TV show "Family Guy" took a shot at the McCain-Palin ticket tonight. In one scene three Nazis are walking down the street when they are accosted by Stewie and have their uniforms stolen. Stewie notices a campaign button on his new jacket, and a closeup reveals it's a McCain-Palin button.

Huh. After all the Republican concern over fraud in voter registration, someone was actually arrested for this. And it was a Republican.
This just in as Brad is headed over to the FOX News studios. Yesterday the Los Angeles Times reported on the Republican voter registration outfit who had allegedly been illegally changing thousands of registrations from Democratic to Republican.
Last night the head of that GOP backed group, Mark Anthony Jacoby of Young Political Majors (YPM), was arrested by the California State Election Fraud Taskforce and Oxnard, CA Police.
According to CA SoS Debra Bowen's press release, Jacoby himself had committed voter registration fraud and perjury by lying on his own voter registration form. (That's similar to what Ann Coulter did, though she not only committed felony voter registration fraud, she also committed actual voter fraud, as well, even though such fraud is exceedingly rare.)
Well, I guess they proved their point that voter registration can be a problem....

I'm getting the pig!
Most of mine have already been mentioned, except for my early impressions of New York that were from Guys and Dolls. Very early impressions.
I didn't even realize Baz had a new flick coming out. Yay! I hope.
