Taxi Driver Tally.
Since my car broke down and I abandoned it in Carlton like a crack-whore, I have been catching more taxis. And the other day I posted about testing out election results via one of those soothsayers of social climate, taxi drivers. So far I have tried it out on three drivers and forgotten to do it with two because I was drunk. Results as follows:
Taxi Driver 1:
HOPES FOR:
Latham Win.
PREDICTS:
Howard Win.
Taxi Driver 2:
HOPES FOR:
Latham Win.
PREDICTS:
Latham Win.
Taxi Driver 3:
HOPES FOR:
Howard Win*.
PREDICTS:
Latham Win.
So today's taxi-driver tally stands - Latham 2, Howard 1.
You all should post your taxi-driver predictions so we can really start getting a handle on this fucking thing. And try and remember to do it even if evil bloggers take you out and give you tequila.
* Yes, really. I was in a confined space with someone who hoped for a Howard win . We had much to discuss, as I'm sure you'd imagine.
8 days til the election.
44 days til Gabi comes home.

Latham's on a roll.
It's all looking good.
You will get fabulously drunk on Saturday night, wake up with a massive hangover Sunday and think you dreamed it all.
But it's real.
Come on Saturday... not this Saturday, next Saturday. :-)
Don't moz him! You'll make me nervous.
It's still anyone's election. That's what I keep telling myself so I don't get nervous-sick and vomit.
Imagine how nervy the yanks must be getting now... their boy looks not to have much of a chance at all! :(
has everyone seen all the cute stuff at dear john dot com? (Not that you wouldn't be better off buying a polichicks shirt of course).
Also this cab driver has a cabpoll quite often. I must stop procrastinating.
Fuck the election.
Nothing personal, I enjoy your blog, but I hate Mark Latham. And I don't see why anyone thinks his medicare gold policy is a good idea, seeing as it's only for people over 75. So you retire, wait 10-20 years, and you can go to hospital for free? What about all those people retiring at 55? And it's going to cost 2.9 billion dollars? Yep, that's *good* economic sense. If he gets in, look forward to financial fuckery - as in, we'll all be fucked.
Listen, I know it may seem like it sometimes but I don't actually have a hard-on for Mark Latham. I don't hate him, but I don't want to climb into bed with him at night and fondle his balls until he tells me to stop, either.
But the thing is, I loathe that vicious little cuntrag in power more than almost anything. Ever. And I will put everything I have behind the person who is most likely to get him out.
So. Bring on the ball-fondling.
There's nothing to be said about John Howard that hasn't already been said about haemorrhoids
Something re "Medicare Gold" that I haven't heard mentioned anywhere: If you're over 70 - voting's not compulsory! So this may partly be a plan to get all those elderly non-voters wobbling off to the polling booths for the first time in a while. I'm personally looking forward to seeing an early-morning bottleneck of wrinklies down Alphington kinder next Saturday, all wanting to vote for that nice Doctor Evatt.
But I think the main appeal of "Medicare Gold" is that it'll take some pressure off families to support their Olds - who inevitably need a lot of medical care. That's why it's not just an appeal to the "grey vote". It appeals to FAMILIES, who are apparently the one's who matter.
Doc Evatt
re: taxi drivers... i hit the jackpot last night and got my local independent candidate driving me. he is using his passengers to form his policies. he said, "what you want me to do for you? i'll do it."
so in exchange for him addressing a few human rights issues at a national level, we've offered to type up his profile and email it to the local paper as he doesn't know how to use a computer.
excellent.
Jelly.
