You just don't look presidential

But Obama does

on 3/24/2008 11:02:36 AM

As a foreigner I make absolutely no effort whatsoever to keep my opinions to myself on US politics. And so I'm taking this opportunity once again to stick my nose where it's not wanted and make a few statements about what's happening in the world's most […]

Why Cactoblasta is best suited for presidency

on 4/22/2008 9:24:11 AM

Cactoblasta would make the best president for three reasons. He will get respect from foreign nations, he has all the necessary experience, and he will lead the nation through the turbulent times we face. [more] First, Cacto would make the best […]

Religion of War Update 2008

on 3/7/2008 7:29:09 PM

So a few weeks back one of the world's foremost studies on attitudes to war, peace and apathy in Islam was released to the media (but not the public).I was waiting for Brad to post it up, as demographic surveys of Muslim countries are one of his regular […]

Rightwingers eat babies after Iran Prez visits

I can say whatever I like without backing it up at all too

on 9/26/2007 5:12:41 PM

The recent visit of the President of Iran brought all the rightwingers out of the woodwork. From between the rocks, from behind fetid toadstools, from the nightmare corners of the suburban landscapes, they came. And they came with one simple […]

Socialised healthcare and Sicko

Blame Americans for it if you must

on 8/4/2007 10:36:12 AM

Today I went and saw an advance screening for Michael Moore's latest vehicle, Sicko. As far as Moore movies go it wasn't a bad example of the genre - some melodrama, some sticking it to man yee-hah moments, a little additional pathos and some […]

If you're going for looks, there's no doubt Obama wins. Hillary... sorry, there's a reason Bill cheated. McCain looks to be in quadruple digits without wrinkles, so, yeah, Obama looks most presidential.

You've just got to relax, love the beach and outdoor entertainments, live in a warm environment and be mildly racist and I think you'll get the Aussie vibe. Oh, and have no respect for authority figures. That's a must

Most of this applies to me, although I'm not even mildly racist and I don't like most codes of football. Still, the rest is spot on.

Oh, and have no respect for authority figures.

Authority figures cured me of that malady.

We all know evil koalas have infiltrated the US. Drop-bears. What about the drop-bears, man?!?!

Well, the Simpsons had it completely wrong. There are no such thing as evil koalas. C'mon, don't you know the Simpsons is an invention, a fiction? On the other hand, Drop Bears are very real and hardly ever seen. Any pictures you might find on the internet are purely speculation as no one has ever survived coming close enough to one of these viscious marsupial carnivores to describe what they look like. See, there are still mysteries in the world.

Here is where I admit that every Australian I've ever known (via JU or IRL or both) has been incredibly intelligent, witty, and wonderful.

I used to go to 2 other sites and the Aussies in there were the same way.

Flattery will get you everywhere.

Hey, Maso, got a spare room?

Anytime, mate.
