"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

HOWARDS END
The looming Australian federal election will be the end of the Howard government
Howard's end will not be due as much as to something he has done or not done but because Australia is essentially a one-party state (voluntarily and willingly so) – in love with and married to the Liberal Party.
Every now and then, when the Liberals get too complacent and take the electorate too much for granted, they will be made to sleep on the couch for a while and the Labor Party mistress will be brought up to the master bedroom for a fling.
Just such a lover's tiff is brewing at the moment.
It's Time!
But this It's Time, the mistress has turned in to a prostitute garishly aping the Australian electorate's lawfully elected spouse.
Disclaimer: If my prediction that Labor will win doesn’t happen, then my prediction is that the Liberals will be reelected.
