The fix is in anyway. Obama would need to win by about 50 million actual votes in order to "win".

Happy Birthday Russell. Let us know how the HD is... :)

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. The original is still the best.

Miles Davis Septet, way out there.

Russell, you'll remember me from the Drugs Roundtable at Parliament two years ago. I saw Sabin on the telly last night, and he was absolutely full of it, completely ignoring the raft of positive findings regarding harm reduction, and the recommendations that have been made for improving drug education.
We know that the Government is not particularly interested in hearing the truth about these things, but will instead bend any way in which they think the wind is blowing. The Minister was stood not five feet away from me that day two years ago, and he still couldn't be bothered mentioning our own research findings on illicit drug use, findings that the international research community on substance abuse have deemed to be very important (see Wayne Hall's editorial in the June 2008 issue of the journal Addiction, for example), and it's all because we don't support the prohibition/punishment line.

Time to ramp up the smoke machine against "socialized" medicine again... Bill and Hillary had the temerity to suggest moving to such a scheme, and look what it got them.

There were about 200 kids at a house across from ours in Burwood on Sat. night... the usual carousing and carrying-on, with kids flowing into the street. Concerned for their safety, I did let the police know about it, but I felt a bit of a berk afterward when I found out what was going on at Edgeware Road. Still, as I said to the missus, it's difficult to know when a party like that might cross over the line, from being a relatively innocuous one, to something tragic, as occurred only a few kms away.
The van that the driver collided with after running into the kids is still parked sideways on Westminster St. I've seen it the past two mornings driving my kid to school.

Interesting post Russell. It's hard sometimes to be able to see the present person from the bits and pieces of the past, isn't it?
I know Anton as well, terrific guy.

Webb 55 - Allen 45
Maybe I'm too hard on the Dems - even if all they accomplish is removing Rick Santorum from office they'll still have made the world a better place . . .
Don't forget about the good that might be done getting rid of Allen. I took great pleasure in voting against that piece of filth.

Why hasn't the US hasn't been attacked since 9/11?
Maybe Osama has been at the beach, or have there been several massive attacks in the US that the Bush administration has covered up to cling desperately to power to keep making money from Halliburton?
Let me try to rephrase the original point. It is specious reasoning to attribute the non-occurrence of a highly improbable event (terrorist attack) to any particular causal process.
