"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.”

Rupert Murdoch Decides 2004
- "The media was clearly anti-Labor with the Murdoch press leading the way and not a single major daily paper endorsing Mark Latham"
(crikey.com.au)
Australians have re-elected Prime Minister John Howard to a historic fourth term, making him the most successful John Howard in Australian history.
Doesn’t the Labor Party have any good lawyers?
Surely they can challenge the vote on the grounds that voter's thumbs weren't marked with ink, indelible or otherwise, a la the equally hapless Afghan opposition.
Does that sound crazy?No crazier than expecting a bloke who beats people (aka voters) up (archives 12/2/2003) to win an election for you.
WE REGRET THE ERROR
In a previous post, I predicted that the Liberals would lose the election, which may have been construed by some as my predicting that the Liberals would lose the election.
I meant no such thing and apologize for the misunderstanding.
