Oh, missed that one! I guess I just have that guilty Catholic thing going.

@Quatrefoil: No, I was most definitely referring to Garrie Cleveland. Anyone who says “I suppose you are one of those who’d prefer Mein Fuhrer Howard?” clearly hasn’t read much of what I’ve written.

If you meant me re: irony, my response was definitely tongue in cheek.

Thank you all for your comments — though perhaps at least one of you needs to re-calibrate your irony detector. Or perhaps amplify it using spare capacity from your hovercraft. I will respond in more detail soon.

As I write this, it’s a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon in Bangkok. I’m sitting by Chao Phraya River using, um… spare capacity from the free wi-fi network at Thammasat University. Iced VoVos are in short supply, but I care little.

A Tesla roadster for every self employed GST tax collector. It’s the least they can do to help us help save the environment. (Oh, and a packet of Iced Vovos to go with the cup of Fair Trade cafe latte from Timor Leste.)

Once Chairman Rudd has declared the place a Republic, and sung Waltzing Matilda under the new flag (while the adoring hordes scull their coopers, and wipe the vovo crumbs off their hovercrafts), he will send forth the new diplomatic corp consisting of tertiary educated Kyle impersonators and 17 metre high Steve Irwin robots (finished in crocodile leather) to elucidate the finer points of Australian Values.

See – that’s why I have to vote Green. I don’t think the iced vovos should be only for those who fit your limited, patriarchal concept of families as including children under twelve. Iced vovos for the deliberately barren!

Man… and here I thought we had intelligent life on Earth ??

You DON’T fix the problems that have accumulated over 12 years of neglect and indifference overnight ! To expect this of Kevin Rudd is unreasonable.

Chairman Rudd ?? I suppose you are one of those who’d prefer Mein Fuhrer Howard ?

It’s about time the lies of Howard caught up with him : he didn’t get the name Lying Little Rodent from nowhere.

He could say Sorry.

Something obviously missing for his rather inert victory speech.

My new laptop computer sitting all nicely packaged up on my doorstep. But in all seriousness, hoorah!
