... Here, richly, with ridiculous display,
The Politician's corpse was laid away.
While all of his acquaintances sneered and slanged
I wept: for I had longed to see him hanged.
(Words thanks to Joseph Hilaire Pierre Belloc)
My brother sent me that wee quote, with good luck wishes for polling day. I think we can guess where his sympathies don't lie.
Lee, from over at Pink Granite, commented in the last post that there's a union over in the US that has a slogan, "Unions, the folks who brought you the weekend". I think that's something the ACTU should steal.
It's raining, a nice soft rain. Mr Brown is off to say goodbye to his boat. This afternoon we shall wander about 30 metres to the polling booth and vote. I think we'll go out tonight, see a movie, have some laksa, avoid the news and wake up to a surprise tomorrow morning.

"...to say goodbye to his boat"??? whats' the go? is your mr brown selling it?
i'm keeping a watchful eye on the election from over here.
when i wake up tomorrow, it'll all be over. perhaps in more ways than one ...
Not selling, sold. But I don't suppose he'll do anything sensible, like pay a chunk off the mortgage, nononononno, not he.
