I have to admit to a rather sick fantasy - that a video emerges of W LaPierre masturbating over an assault rifle while saying that murdered school children are the price of freedom.

Given voting is not compulsory in the US, it would be helpful to compare the turnout figures as well as the swing. I can’t seem to find that information as yet.

I am available for proofreading and editing at a very reasonable rate. That second paragraph is truly awful.

Princess Michael’s father, a Nazi officer in the SS, was proudly smiling from the grave.

And never forget Moore won the white male vote by a landslide.

Aussies, being the good colonials we still are, adored Diana. But there is one now we love more, the genuine commoner who became a princess. She picked up the prince in a pub, which is so very Australian. (Do you Yanks call them pubs? Short for Public Bar)

Great catch!

I can understand showing tax separately on an invoice, but this is just passive aggressive bullshit.

You Americans.

Nah, he’s Caucasian.

I know - we are in this weird place now where everyone in Oz pretty much acknowledges that marriage equality is inevitable, but our politics are so toxic now that no one can agree how to go about it.

Am I the only one who saw golden shower instead of golden trio?
