I’ve debated about whether or not to post this… but I lose my chance in just over 12 hours, and given that it’s the most important election of the year, I have to put some sort of comment into the blogosphere. So here goes.
Today, Americans go to vote for the person to fill the most [...]

That’s the box I had to tick when logging in to my blog tonight. Yes, that’s right. I haven’t been here for so long that even my blog had forgotten who I was, requiring me to login.
Even though I tend to go missing here sometimes, I know a break of just over four months probably [...]

I was looking through my e-mails yesterday morning and saw a CNN news alert where Larry King was discussing former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s assassination – and I thought, hmm, they missed the word ‘attempted’ there. But low and behold, after some digging below the Christmas and holiday news at the headlines of the [...]

I’ve decided that I’m missing writing on here enough to warrant venturing, slowly I might add, back into the world of dialup Internet.
I have discovered tonight that once Windows automatic updates start, I can’t actually stop them. And whilst I can try in vain to terminate wuauclt.exe, it can always just start up again seven [...]

I am disappointed. The Howard and Costello team played a large part in growing Australia’s economy – they abolished the debt their government inherited from Labor, they took unemployment to a 33 year low, and they had the guts to implement change where it was needed.

I’m quite tired and don’t really feel like putting thought into a blog post, so this is really just a short post to bring attention to a NEWS.com.au poll today: “Are Kevin Rudd and John Howard right to oppose gay marriage?”. The question was brought on by Kevin Rudd’s announced committal today to gay marriage [...]

No, this isn’t a politically motivated rant against Kevin Rudd – but just a mention of a funny video. You can always rely on the uncensored and uncontrollable world that is the Internet to dig up the dirt on anyone who doesn’t want their dirt dug up.
Take a look at the video, and watch a [...]

On Wednesday night I visited Saint Thomas More’s Forum where Jim Wallace, Managing Director of the Australian Christian Lobby, was presenting ‘Christian Involvement in Politics – Right or Wrong?’
Now there’s no prizes for guessing which of these viewpoints Jim holds, and in fact not only does he believe Christian involvement in politics is right, he [...]

John Howard has made the announcement this morning for an election to be held on the 24th November – allowing himself a 6 week campaign period to try to claw his way back in the polls. Despite the bad outlook at the moment, he said a couple of hours ago in a press conference from [...]
