The Australian Labor Party (which is pretty much equivalent to the Democratic Party in the US) have finally chosen a new leader: Mark Latham. This is the guy who called John Howard an “arse-licker”. Awesome. Now I only wish I could vote in the next general election.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Would you really vote for a person that looks so much like our Smithy?!!
(Latham also called Howard ‘Bonsai’….
he’s a ‘little bush’.)
He does look like Chris! I didn’t realize. Heck yeah I’d still vote for him! Then maybe if he got to be PM, Chris could get a job as his stand-in. 🙂
My new favorite Latham phrase is “conga line of suckholes”.
I’m a big Labor supporter and although I think Latham is pretty risky, at least it’s given us some hope. If anything, I think he’ll force Australians to start thinking about things like healthcare and education again. Things that actually affect voters lives in a real way, unlike exaggerated propaganda about terrorists and boat people. And yeah, the George Bush ‘arse-licker’ line is a classic 🙂
