South Australian State elections
Weeeeel, whaddya expect??
Just let the silly cretins get on with it, whaddya expect??
Havn't seen the election outcomes here...gotta dig for world news if you live in this flabby parochial ex-colony.
BTW, a word about your "description": I have a bone to pick with blogger's hopelessly serial organizing principle but I am not aware that we can go in any direction but backwards if we start at "today". you CAN post date your blog entries, but they tend to appear no earlier that whenever "now" happens to be.
If you figure out how to write a post tomorrow while the rest of us think it is still today, show me yer trick and I will go read that post.
Um, GS, America wakes up to Australia's yesterday .. or .. America lives in Aussie yesterday .. or .. at a certain point in the timeline America looks at Australia's tomorrow .. or .. ah, dang it.. this "dateline" thingo confuses all of us .. (grins)
ahhh, I'll throw in with the gang that declares that there is no such thing as time; everything that can/might/will/has happened is happening now, just on another thread. We see in a timeline like a blindman in a tunnel sees nothing but the tube he's in, oblivious to the world outside.
not saying it's true, mind, just that I'd as soon believe that as any other...
GS, don't worry about 'local' election outcomes. Everybody here just 'votes on Party lines'. (Media image carefully constructed by the incumbents) The joy (at least from my point of view) is that Nick Xenophon (lambasted by the 'power' parties), actually achieved more combined votes than one of the 'official' and longstanding entrenched 'parties'.
um, yup, continue to 'gnaw the bone' about why we are being trained to 'react' to today, rather than read the history of why things came about GS. Have just watched a doco on one of our 'remaining' free to air channels about Anthony Eden the "Suez" crisis. Sheesh, talk about history repeating . and that was only 50 or so years ago ..
The similarities with the "Iraq Crisis" are outstanding ..aaaarrrgh!!
Returning to the SA state elections.. who gives two hoots (or even ONE hoot)about the tame twits that collect OUR money and just sit about waffling like a lot of women at a tea party. The joyous thing about it was Nick Xenophon, not 'allied' to any particular party, votes with his conscience, creates mayhem with 'media stunts' outlining the follies of parliament ..and was plonked back in with an outstanding (and 'officially' unexpected) public vote. BUUt, he's sort of youngish, at some point the 'power brokers' will get to him. He'll settle down like the berk from the National Country Party, collect his pay and shaddup.
Reminds me of a quip from somewhere. Pompous parliament person, "I'm a Country member." Heard from the backbench, "Yup, we remember."

The time thing is bad enough, but I've always wondered why the toilet water flows the other way when you flush.
Hey, Davo, check out the Irish post on Appalachian Greens! You can get there from "Gods Are Bored."

Greensmile, it appears that you have far greater abilities than me to time travel heh heh.
