Something for all you activists out there.
Saw the Australian premiere screening of Fahrenheit 9/11 last night.I know it's not really important which screening it was, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm very of-the-moment and progressive so you'll think more of me.
I won't go on about the fact that it's life affirming and if you don't want to change the world after seeing it you're mentally defunct, but thought instead I should mention that there's a campaign to send ticket stubs to the White House. You know, so George knows the world is watching .
If you can be bothered getting up off your apathetic arse to put a fucking ticket in an envelope, the address is here:
President George W. Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington, DC 20500
Pass it on.
Oh, and someone asked me why none of my crushes are on left-wing pollies. Um, because of
him. And 
him. I mean, their hearts are in the right place and everything, but come on...

but what about thwaitsy and bracksy and latho, and you can't go past tens political journo paul bongiorno.
ps: how about i send my stub to you ms and then you can send it off to the white house with a turd as well. save's me a dollar on postage.
Thank-you very much for your kind offer of having me send faeces through the mail on your behalf. Unfortunately I will have to decline due to the fact that it is fucking disgusting and I would rather cut myself with a rabies-infected rusty knife.
this coming from a woman who is intrigued by all things sex, dedicates two hours of radio to the ABC's of sex, strips once a year for a good cause (RRR), has friends who put chili on their penii and now has the audacity to say she is disgusted by the thought of her own faeces. :)
you're not german are ya?
please don't tell me they gave it a standing ovation here, just so as not to appear like uncultured swine to the french ?
personally, i fell asleep through it. don't get me wrong, i agree with what was presented, but it was presented with such a lack of personality, that it could have been a "sandra sully presents:" special on channel 10.
some insight and new facts could have helped

Maybe the facts weren't new to you Brett, but Mr. and Mrs. Herald-Sun need this shit spoonfed to them with appropriate music and slow-mo if they're going to understand.
Sorry you found it dull but I think the impact on Middle America (and hopefully Aus) will be widespread.
oh, well if it is aimed at mr and mrs herald sun, and if they do go and see it, then fine, the movie will succeed at what it sets out to do ... and really, that is to stop gwb from being re-elected, right? i'd say it will accomplish that just fine.
it frustrates me that us politics can have such an effect on us here, and that it always seems to be picking the lesser of two evils. the sooner oprah runs for president, the better.
but really... was there a standing ovation?
-- brett
No standing ovation, Brett. Someone got up and yelled: 'WHO'S VOTING FOR JOHNNY NOW, EH?' at the end, but that's about it.
US politics affect us because JWH has aligned himself so closely with GWB. If Mr and Mrs Herald-Sun (copyright Ms Fits) can connect that George W ain't such a sharp guy and that our PM seems to want to bum him, Australian politics may change. Note - may.
ugh, there always has to be "that guy" (copyright brett) at the end of the movie, being mr wacky and yelling out something. back in my day (last month), we just saved our "funny" comments for our journals ... my how times change
so who are we going to replace johnny with? mark latham? kimmy b (oh god yes, bring him back, i don't care how ugly he is), peter garrett? wesley from big brother?
this FTA is cancellable if we vote in some other guy, right ?? right ??
-- brett
You wish. FTA, to paraphrase the Maritime Union if I may, is Here To Stay.
And Wesley from Big Brother needs a good arse raping. How dare you suggest him as future leader of the ALP. With that sticky-out hair?
i only picked wesley because (iirc) he is the one with actual political aspirations there. he really does want to run for pm, yes ? if i had my choice of pm from big brother ... well ... i think i'd choose ... probably ashalea. under her exterior beats the cold heart of a politician.
don't worry, i'm sure wesley will be getting plenty of ass raping as we speak. that's all that happens at the "nightclub appearances" that will be his bread and butter for his remaining 10.4 minutes of fame.

Politics... pffft
They should all die by the most painful means available. Possibly being fisted.
I should become the supreme ruler and master of the universe, the earth's economy will prosper under my repressive iron fist.

Would you be using the iron fist for good or evil though?
That sort of thing could smart if misused, you know.
