I lied above, this had tears streaming down my face. NMA have summarised the Australian election as only they can.
Funny, beyond belief.

I've been emailed a Word document by Hide's press secretary Allan Swan that turns out to be a Whaleoil blog post.
Oh dear. Now that's just silly.

Muldoon was a dick, but without him, we'd have way less renewable electricity than we do. Funny how it works.
Yeah, I think it's almost time for a reevaluation of that government. There are plenty who rightly and wrongly had a lot invested in saying it was an awful government in every respect. Much to despise and hate, but there were some genuinely useful things it did.
If we invest heavily in efficiency and network improvements and shut down Tiwai Point (leeches subsidised by you and I), we can be pretty much zero emissions in power generation within a few years.

I've been curiously detached from the whole affair, because it has been so farcical, and because we'll be home for good in December anyway.
Strangely so. I'll be out of here sometime, so I watch it all in suspended disbelief.
I promised not to spam you all with ausvotes advertising, but this has to be the funniest of the lot.

I got told today that
your writing generally makes you sound like a grumpy old man
I'm not sure if that's a bad thing, or whether Craig's electrons are rubbing off on me.

If I was an Australian voter, I'd be asking this question: If the Prime Minister and the Opposition leader can't be fucked taking this seriously, why should I? The utter unseriousness of what I'll generously call "policy' would be funny if it wasn't actually dangerous.
Absolutely agreed. I also have newfound respect for the New Zealand media. I thought it was impossible to be more vacuous and facile than the election coverage I saw in 05 and 08, but apparently so. This certainly isn't the most meaningless election in history, but Australia could be (and may have to be) forgiven for thinking so.
On the upside, there's precious little feature of Laura Norder in the headlines, mainly because she's a state's responsibility, and the Federal politicians can ignore her.

Was this posted here? Inception music, slowed down, sped up.
A much longer, promotional feature on the sound in that film.

even though it's probably a good half his baggage allowance...
I always wear my heaviest boots and jackets onto the plane. I figure I get an extra couple of kilos in allowance that way.

I had some wonderful Wrangler BlueBell jeans a few years ago.
Then they stopped making them.

I'd be more impressed if someone could speed up a Sigur Ros and make a kick-arse pop song out of their easy-listening snore music.
This might not be what you were thinking of, but it certainly is intense.
