The more he sticks around, the more everyone wishes he'd just fuck off already.

Re: [Movie] Australia Baz Luhrmann had nothing to do with Priscilla Queen of the Desert and has never won an Oscar. Therefore your entire review is in disrepute. I was somewhat hopeful for this film. No longer.

Doesn't Jefferson die before Adams? That's what happened in history (and the David McCullough book on which the mini-series is based) at least. I think Adams' lack of fame is more comparative to the Presidents who bookend him. Everyone knows Washington and Jefferson, but not to the same...

I don't know about that. Rees is leading O'Farrell as Preferred Premier by a small but decent margin. He's clearly made something of a good impression to people who hate Iemma. O'Farrell's coasting now and is much too confident it's a foregone conclusion. There's still two and a half years to...

You confuse me (in so many ways). As someone who claims to be far right, ultra-conservative and Liberal absolutist, why did you support Obama in the US election and mock McCain/Palin as much as you do for the parties of the opposing spectrum here?

Five of the threads on the front page of this forum are about this series. Seriously, can people please read something different?

Whatever Works. Woody Allen + Larry David can only = Something incredible.

I was trying to say that the Liberals are fascist. I think my joke failed.

First half has been very ugh-worthy. I'd be hardpressed to recall the last time I ever saw an Australian team play in so lacksadaisical a way. Seemed to improve in the last five minutes or so (or perhaps Bahrain's tired out after actually, you know, giving an effort for the 40 minutes...

...But the Greens aren't radical leftists?

I lolled.

Not Milk? First ______ politician, preaches for change and hope. Echoes the times! Hopefully not too much!

I really like Verity Firth, the Education Minister. I think most people liked Della Bosca too, until the whole Iguana Nightclub thing (but even then has that destroyed his reputation, or do people just pity his being married to a bitch?). I think Labor's hoping that this'll end up the same...

http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/battered-drivers-win-on-points/2008/11/14/1226318927489.html Far be it for me to praise NSW Labor, but this is good.

Well it had to go off-topic, there's no other way this thread could reach a 10th page.

Re: We are paying $238,000 in tax dollars for every single auto manufacturing employe That's not really what was said at all, but okay.

Re: We are paying $238,000 in tax dollars for every single auto manufacturing employe It's my thing. The question mark signifies that I'm speaking with rising inflection. You might think it signifies that I'm asking a question, but that's just not proper.

Re: We are paying $238,000 in tax dollars for every single auto manufacturing employe I'd hardly think the former or the latter are what I'd consider middle-class?

I think the whole filibuster-proof number of 60 is getting far more discussion than it warrants. While, in theory, it's true enough, it doesn't take into account that the US Congress sees individuals far more likely to vote against party lines. It is on a rare issue that all the Democrats will...

Disagreed. Keating's speech-giving style, while perhaps not as flowery as some others, gave some emotional strength to the words - kind of Robert Kennedy-like. Having seen his speech in Parliament today on Remembrance Day I did think it seemed a bit lofty. Given the success of Obama, I...
