Damn, billytea. That is epic.
Seriously. The last time a PM served a full term in this country was over ten years ago. Stability!
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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

Our wings are not tired.
I confess to not following the Australian politics closely, but have subconsciously noted that they seemed to be in my world newsletters more frequently. My dictum remains, if there must be political corruption it should at the very least be entertaining.

I don't know I'd call any of this corruption. Self-serving, yes; not serving the national interest, certainly; but not actively corrupt. Small mercies, I suppose.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
billytea, I actually woke up this morning and decided that I probably need to follow another country's politics as a hobby and as I miss the mere appearance of sane politics and the news here are a celebration of gossip and horror. So thanks for covering this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Amazing, billytea.

Going to go have lunch and get groceries. Later we will go to a birthday party for one of my FIL's friends.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Glad to hear your dad's doing better, Sue. I hope the improvement continues.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Thank you for the politics overview, billytea! Kind of nice to realize the crazy isn't just national.
ETA: What Karl said, Sue.
And oh, Jess, I'm with you in spirit. Thanks for sharing that view.
