I&#8217;ve hated this government for so long, it&#8217;s almost too amazing to contemplate that they might finally be out of our lives. That I might not have to listen to them on the news any more. Just think, I was only 23 when the Liberals first came to power.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, for those non-Aussies reading, the Liberal party is actually extremely right wing and not liberal at all. In the same way that the US Republicans are all for creating a conservative religious oligarchic non-republic. Some political parties seem to take an ironic tone when it comes to names.<\/p>\n<p>I also wanted to post about the election just so I could use the photo above. Someone has messed with the poster of Liberal (conservative) candidate Tracy Marsh and made us all realise that yes, she really does look a lot like Stifler&#8217;s Mum from American Pie.<\/p>\n<p>MILF? Perhaps. MILVO (Mum I&#8217;d Like To Vote Out)? Definitely!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a video of a flash mob who went around Melbourne yesterday singing &#8220;Vote The Bastards Out&#8221; in public places:<\/p>\n<p><code><object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/vziDROl_MJo&#038;rel=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/vziDROl_MJo&#038;rel=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the <a href=\"http:\/\/reasonsyouwillhateme.com\/\" target=\"blank\">Reasons You Will Hate Me blog<\/a> for the pic and link.<\/p>\n<p>OK, enough politics for now.
