    Bill Shorten's probably the only House of Reps Labor big name I dislike more than Stephen Smith.

    Australian Politics

    See I find that strange, as it's not like they're politically close together (I mean, Smith's far to the right of norm in the Labor Party, but Costello's probably centre->right of the Liberals). Are you more attracted to individuals than policy?

    Australian Politics

    In his previous posts he has said all long-standing leaders (eg. Hawke, Howard) have their past rewritten to be exactly the same, and that Rudd's will be done likewise. So yeah, I'd say that was sarcasm. But yeah, Lentern, he's almost okay. His prose is fucking awful though, and I'm becoming...

    So much for everyone in Januray who said the December newspoll was the anomaly.

    Australian Politics

    Re: What do you think of Kevin Rudd as PM of AUST? He's okay. A little boring, and sometimes incredibly frustrating (his rhetoric far exceeds his policy), but he'll do, until Gillard takes over someday hopefully. Of those most immediately preceding him: better than Howard, not as good as...

    Does anyone know the schedule for the Oscars tomorrow?

    I'm pretty sure there's no way you can know the scheduling so precisely. But generally, both Supporting Actor noms are done quite early on. The last four generally go Actress, Actor, Director, Picture - though sometimes they may throw in Song or one of the Screenplay awards in between the two...

    List the most epic movies of all time.

    I understand epic as being a grand sweeping event. Which almost no film here is. The answer, for the record, is any David Lean film from The Bridge on the River Kwai onwards (yeah, even Ryan's Daughter - someone's gotta like it, may as well be me).

    Anti-Privatisation

    I find the idea of both terribly barbaric. That those who can afford are entitled to better education or health services. I do think that's pretty fucked up. Unfortunately, though, like all things privatised, it is far more difficult to nationalise them once again. One day, hopefully, but...

    If Peter Costello became the leader of the opposition,could he win the next election?

    Re: If Peter Costello became the leader of the opposition,could he win the next elect Iron summed it up on page one. He was one of my preferred Cabinet Ministers of Howard's. The longer he's stayed around, though, contributing nothing but destabilising everything, the more I come to hold...

    Costello to remain after next election

    I wouldn't be so sure of that, given Costello being such a turd of a man who is hated by the electorate. At the very least, it's terrible news for Coalition prospects in 2009/10.

    Brendan Nelson quits politics

    Nelson quitting politics | smh.com.au Former defence minister and opposition leader Brendan Nelson has quit politics, Liberal sources confirmed to AAP on Monday evening. I could've sworn Lentern was onto something when he said Nelson could still be elected PM! I wonder if he could...

    Best Movie 2008: Slumdog Millionare

    No way. The film began with this kid's torture, followed him through all these troubles, only for him to come out on top. I felt the dance sequence, if anything, was like the ultimate joyous catharsis for the film that had been building to some kind of happiness all the way through. The dance...
