Leadership questing

I’m finding it exciting waiting to find out whether it’s going to be Gilderoy Lockhart or Kreacher:

Kreacher

And as for that cunt Tony Abbott:

"We were a very very good government and I am quite confident that in the not to distant future this will be seen as a golden age," he said."

Delusional.

A meme to calm the nerves

omg I’m pacing like a caged beast. Bless Bernice for tagging me with this meme, the rules of which are:

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names, and links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So here’s some fascinating facts about me:

1. I used to be shy to sing before I had a baby to sing to all the time. Now it makes me happy to sing.

2. I will tear up at the polling booth tomorrow. I do every time. It’s a bit embarrassing.

3. I’m actually an enormous sook.

4. I hope John Howard wins Bennelong so I can watch him suffer and my outlaws can have Maxine as their MP in 12 months time when he slinks away and starts doing active seniors classes with the YMCA. My friend Steevy came around today and he suggested that there was a German word that sounded kind of like this.

5. The sum total of my involvement in student politics at uni was the year that my friend Katie and I formed “Anarchists Against the Election”. She painted a big banner and we sat next to it outside the polling booth attempting to discourage people from voting because there was no point.

I’m not going to tag anyone because I’m like that, but leave a link in comments if you’re inspired to share.

Jesus Christ on a bike

Peter Garrett has said something gauche and flip to an radio journalist Steve Price. Price says “Hobyahs!, No I Am Not Joking,This Is Deadly Serious Stuff and I Am A Serious Journalist Not Some Desperate Hack Looking To Raise My Profile By Savaging An Inexperienced Media Performer*”. Peter Garrett’s flipancy is defended another media “identity”, Richard Wilkins. Ahem. This is the first item on the ABC news.

When it all gets a bit much around here, I quietly think about being Tony Abbott, scheduled to debate Nicola Roxon in another city in a couple of hours, listening to both Howard and Costello address some dumb launch before being able to speak himself and getting to the airport to make the freaking debate. That thought – to see the day Tony Abbott’s charmless bullying and incompetence saw him become a public has-been – warms me up sometimes when I’m in need of encouragement.

* Author’s own heh. Should’ve gone for Ed Keupper, he never would have fucked up like that. And I can’t imagine Nick Cave running for Parliament. Seat in the House of Lords, maybe.

Pardon me while I go get a bex.

Election prediction haiku!

The mainstream, waiting -

No baseball bat for you, but

they clutch a gold watch.

No bugger ever takes me up on it, but I’d love to see some election haikus in the comments.

Updated: OK, I take that back.

My Mum says

that John Howard is like a twenty year old fridge. It might still go, but after long enough you just want a new one.

Today in Federal Politics

We always knew that the Liberals were cunts, but now it turns out they’re pussies as well.

Harry Potter and the Minister for Magical Fluids

From HP and the Chamber of Secrets, at page 49:

‘Nice big smile, Harry,’ said Lockhart, through his own gleaming teeth. ‘Together you and I are worth the front page.’
