Reasons you will hate me

Just a big glass, thanks.

I'm working.

Your wish is my command, young man. The bar is officially open for the day/year.

8====D

Coke, Pepsi, Coke, Pepsi.

Can remember watching Jane Eyre then things took a strange turn. Can anyone in Northcote tell me what apparently happened?

Fug it, need coffee.

Onward Jedi Knights.

Fail!

He he he

Yes yes. Brilliant etc. But Kevin....

DON'T FUCK IT UP.

At some stage soon, with that poisonous little man finally expelled, we have to get back to a form of political debate that isn't like a football match. Where people put up rational arguments that we may or may not like, but we're willing to argue on their merits. All this barracking (and erstwhile nyer-nyering from the conservatives) isn't really the hallmark of a mature democracy.

But for a week or two, there's probably nothing wrong with a steady diet of champagne. I'll let you know how it goes.

How many days until the next election?

Woohoo

Pink Champagne of course? that's what we had and nice it was. Go Maxine, that teach the little tracksuited turd not to mess with the ABC.

Until all the votes are counted, and we can settle down to some serious parliamentariasationatude, it doesn't matter why he's gone, where he's gone, who's going with him, or who's replacing him.

HE'S FUCKING GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the future holds is generally un-knowable, what the past reveals is eleven years of lies, deceit, irrational claims about economics, non-core promises, erosion of human rights, xenophobia, homophobia, ecophobia and a bunch of other phobias I haven't made names for yet.

Seriously.

Hoo-fucking-ray.

Champagne? Ooooh, yes please.

*passes glass*
*drinks*
*gets giggly at the thought of how fucked the Liberals are going to be for the next 3-6 years*

Ding, dong, the witch is dead, etc.

Also: when did the NSC become HQ for the Annie Lennox Fan Club? My plans for a bit of boudoir flamenco with a giddy bolshie princess were undone by a malfunctioning radar and a fear of being kicked in the nuts by Sue-Ann Post...

Well done Fits, although (as you kn0w) i wasnt thrilled with the result, i'm happy for you and your lefty mates. Enjoy. I must ask though - is that a naked photo of you in yesterday's post leaping for joy?

Erm, there is a group on facebook that we must counter IMMEDIATELY.

'Julia Gillard has a face like it caught fire & was put out with a chain.'

HOW DO WE GO ABOUT FIXING THIS?

i was thinking all through the campaign how old howard was looking (not that there's anything wrong with that, right iggy?)

but seeing him today on his morning walk, he seems much, much older *how delightful*

maybe fits could fill up a super soaker with her champagne and aim it in all of our general directions and give us a squirt!

*cheers*

If someone starts a 'Julia Gillard is strangely attractive' group I'd be morethan willing to join.

What was I thinking?

Fuck the hangover (x2), pass me a flute, Ms.

I hope Kevin is better at keeping his promises than I am. Stupid offer of desperation to be good if he won is already getting boring.

Well, at least we don't really have to move move to New Zealand* now. There's only so many times you can say it before you actually have to do it.


*Nothing against NZ, I would like nothing more than a bach on the East Coast but I'm just lazy and overly-attached to Melbourne.

ps I like to not just move, but 'move move'. Shakes things up somewhat.
(must be all that champagne, can't type)

Andy Pants - there's already a 'Julia Gillard is a dreamboat' Facebook group, as well as the group, 'I Love Julia Gillard, She is Fab and I Want Her Babies'. But I agree - she IS strangely attractive, even to a raging homosexualist like me! *swoons happily*

I would prefer a Japanese game show style Prime Minister change. JH has to pack up all his clothes in a lawn ball suitcase in 30 seconds. KR then gets the case; walks to the habour and throws it into the sea, to much laughter. JH then has to “Swim for his clothes”(Title of Game Show) dodging the speeding boats

I like a woman who can humiliate the ex-most powerful man in the country.

This will be fun to watch for the next few months or years.
Lib factions will be at each other's throats, with bluebloods (such as Turnbull) competing against the nutters (such as Abbott), to say nothing of the unelectable nuffers in the party (Nelson, Bishop, Mirabella, I could go on...).
Even once they've picked a head honcho, they'll be playing knife the leader in the pages of the press on a regular basis. It's beer and popcorn time for the non-Howardites.

After many shenanegins over the weekend this morning I ; woke up, checked to see that this all was not just a fantastic drunken dream, realised that this was probably the best weekend ever, consisting of politics and parties and presents, made vegemite on toast and then poured myself a nice big pineapple and malibu (juice is good for you).

I felt bad about my seemingly alcoholic behaviour, now I feel better. A few more days and we can get back to real life and politics, but for now I am happy happy celebrating. No more Howard, no more exams... Julia. 'Nuff said.

I agree with The Happy Revolutionary and look forward to hours of entertainment.

Feel free to join the orange revolution. I'm sure there are a lot of closet Julia obsessives out there.

Although I feel a tad reticent to engage again in comment (I was hammered by some other commentators the last time I wrote - BTW just to clear that up, I have been a victim of stalking both off and online, hence it's an issue that I take seriously - there wasn't any need to shoot me down because I momentarily lost my sense of humour), I wanted to share that I'm utterly in stitches watching the political rats swim to shore.

Yes, with the above, I'm mixing my metaphors, but the resignations over the past 48 hours since "Rudd's Rout" (TM) of Howard have been rather hilarious.

Speaking of headlines, I was certain that some sub-editor would give us "Howard's End" in Sunday's papers. Alas. Not in the papers that I subscribe to, anyway.

*Chugs another champers while praying to a God-being that "Our Kev" will deliver*

Hey, if I want serious political commentary I'll ask my dentist.

PS I cried during Maxine's speech.

V: 845. You read it here first.

"Look, I'm awfully apologetic to those of you requiring some serious political dissertation. But I simply must continue riding the celebrations train for another day or so."

Fitsy, I love you to tears, but please- "serious political dissertation"?! On this blog? Can you point me to any particular post where you even tried that?

Just thought I'd pop up on this series of comments to see how many people jump up and bag me while I'm drunk!
I wonder what Andrew Bolt will make of this....I'll ask him next time see him in the elevator...he'll probably be hoping Howard has been talking to George Speight in Fiji and is planning on trying the whole coup thing!!!!! Now that would make a great yarn!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy the celebration...In a few weeks reality hits!!!!

I thought that WAS serious political dissertation.

I am not in the closet about my Gillard-lust at all; I proclaim it proudly.

Is there a Facebook group for people who want to commit venial sins upon Nicola Roxon?

I actually felt a bit teary after casting my vote - it was a beautiful spring day, people young and old milling around chatting to each other casually, kids playing in the school playground and laughing. A sense of change in the air, but all done in a marvelously Australian way - no confrontation (other than maybe a little bit of gentle teasing)

It felt good

For the Maxine lovers out there...

Have already bought the drinks... sorry latecomers.

'I'm awfully apologetic to those of you requiring some serious political dissertation.'

Fits, I don't think anyone comes to your blog for serious political dissertation.

Nonny, I cried during Maxine's speech too.

I'd like to be very serious for a moment and pay a tribute to a true believer and battler, who stuck to his proverbial guns when it could have been just as easy to give up:
Bernie Banton.

I wish I'd cried during Maxine's speech. But no, we just kept toasting with champers. Then a few for Johnnie (POQ). Then a lot for Kevvie.

Slow day Sunday.

IAW litahnee. A battler, but most definately not one of Howard's. Bernie, you rock.

Will I joyously dance on JH's political grave I am also very happy that FUCKwits First, sorry... Family first went NO WHERE!!!

Family First 1.9% +0.0 of vote
