Aussies no weasels

...Australia is not Spain. It is a continent unto itself and thus is not so easily influenced by European appeasement. While fiercely independent, Australia has always chosen well and has long been a stalwart ally of America for the past century. If, heaven forbid, some catastrophe befall Australia or Australians abroad between now and October 9th I hope and pray that Australians will cast their vote for freedom not fear of terror and tyranny.

Consider it done. Congratulations to Mr Howard!

Gore Lawsuit Challenges Australian Election Results

"This is the wrong election result, in the wrong place at the wrong time," Mr. Kerry said. "Think of the precedent this sets."

FINALLY!

Geez, there is a foreign country I can now visit!!

Think I'll have a Fosters Lager to celebrate.

Andy,

I was thinking the same thing! The next time I take a vacation, it will definitely be Down Under.

No more Continental Europe. What a relief...

Papertiger,
You would get more takers if you offered to buy 'em a pint. Or a Foster's oil can.

May we Yanks be as smart as our Aussie mates, come Novemenber.

Val,
Hey, a visit to the Land Down Under sounds wondeful.
Let's all make plans.

(Oh Lord, I've listened to too many of Kerry's debate responses!_

LOL, Val. Yes, the word 'plan' has taken on a rather perjorative tinge since Skerry uses it so much, hasn't it.

Damn him.

I've always wanted to visit Oz. They've got a sense of humor there...

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree

Merry, merry king of the bush is he

Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!

Gay your life must be

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
Leave some there for me

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
That's not a monkey that's me

Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail
Gets a boo-boo in his tail
Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, Kookaburra!
Oh how life can be
