Reasons you will hate me

That's just sad....

"Well it was this one... and I didn't inhale or anything."

i thought that was common knowledge, both parties had recruiting campaigns to get Costello.

Just further evidence of how similar they are.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

No?

I'll get my coat.

Why can't they just be nice?

He's just mental, I don't understand at all. Julia has cred in my book for being a communist in uni. Heaps more cred than being a young lib.

Mind you, I met Julia several times in her before she was a MP and she NEVER remembered my name!

Young Labor... that's hardly as extreme as being a communist.

The communists at my uni are awful. I once saw them spit on a guy because he declined to take a leaflet a socialist alternative member was handing out... this chick behind the table they had ran up to him and spat on him and called him a racist bastard... he was just on his way to class. I took a leaflet.

Nice hair broomy

"Mind you, I met Julia several times in her before she was a MP and she NEVER remembered my name!"

Anonymous, maybe you forgot to tell her your name. Like, "hi , nice to meet you Julia, my name is anonymous and could you please explain the difference between "communism" and 'socialism' because I have a blind spot".

Great scoop, MS FITS.

so, the libs don't like that some of the labor wanna be-s were once union people?

um, der, but it is the LABOR party isn't it?

not the fucking, line my pockets in goose down and fill it with a never-ending supply of gold coins LIBERAL party!

Sheesh, you would think that with ole Pennypinch Pete on the committee, they could have come up with a better sign. You know, use a ruler on the "L", trace around a Milo lid for the "O". That kind of thing.

Also, is it me, or is Pete pulling a Croc Dundee buffalo pysche-out in the top photo? Every time I look at it I feel sleepy...

Ah Marmalade – you made me laugh like a fucking idiot with the milo lid ref. Thank you.

Right wing fuckers- there's one under every rock.

and the ALP is a very large rock

It's totally unrelated, but I just read your GreenGuide article today...

Loved the Jackie-O critique. Brutal, and you can rest assured she won't be able to come up with an equally interesting response. Top class stuff!

The only party Costello has ever belonged to is the 'Pete First' Party. The Libs were just the chosen ones given the privilege of supporting his illustrious rise to high office. Unfortunately for old Pete, the chosen ones have inexplicably failed to recognise his 'greatness'.

The 2007 Federal Election a non-entity for Second Life:
http://www.sloz.info/

In June this year, I wrote a piece for Crikey.com.au on the lack of interest by Australian political parties in Second Life as a campaigning platform. I even contacted the offices of the Minister and Shadow Minister for Communications asking them for their thoughts on Second Life - with absolutely no response.

Now that the 2007 Federal Election is underway, it’s fairly safe to assume there’s not going to be any official campaigning in Second Life and it also doesn’t look likely that any grassroots efforts are underway. Given the heavy presence of US presidential hopefuls in SL, was I being naive in assuming there would at least be some activity from an Australian perspective? I fully understand that with a lot less than 15000 active Aussie SL users, there’s not a lot of political gain in terms of votes gained - but surely there’s some awareness of the value of being perceived as innovative. The first Australian political party who sets up in SL is pretty much guaranteed widespread, mainstream media coverage.

I’d also be interested in hearing suggestions of how political parties could actually be of use in SL, if at all. I intend on bundling up the suggestions and emailing them to each of the parties for comment.

Hmmm ... given Rudd's current stance on most policies, I reckon ol' Pete would fit right into the ALP.

I notice, incidentally, that our Kev's latest action has been to lambast the Chaser's "Eulogy Song" for being "absolutely disgusting" and "just wrong". Which almost makes me wonder if the country would be better off under Costello - at least Costello's shown that he's got a sense of humour, which is more than I can say for Rudd.

And still nothing about Ruddock drinking the blood of the innocents?

I LOVE JULIA.

I love Julia too.

Jeez, once Johnny's gone we'll have Abbott and Costello to deal with -
Not as funny as the originals that's for sure, but a couple of clowns nevertheless.

The Deaf leading the Bland ...

This is simply too much fun. An election whack-a-mole style game from The Age! Whacking Howard fills me with glee.

I'll take a crazy communist over a crazy young liberal any day. The young liberals at my uni march around together acting like they have laser pointers for eyes. Sadly for them, they just end up looking like a bunch of overintense, repressed psychos. Not much unlike their older colleagues really....
