Second trailer for W.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fevUp9j1DHc I will laugh.

With Paul Newman dying, so too did my heart. Hud and Cool Hand Luke <3

I would say yes, there is some heavy racism in areas of NSW. Not so much Sydney (though certainly some areas), but definitely in country areas. Much of my family's from there, and I love them dearly, but their racism can be painful to be around (and I love making a joke at other races' expense...

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread But Bishop as Shadow Treasurer was a terrible move, and she's widely seen as a big joke. She rightfully should've gone ahead of Nelson, but is staying purely because of the fact that she's a woman, and one of those is needed in response to Gillard (but...

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread I'm with Iron on this one. Rudd was pretty underwhelming on Rove, who clearly does not have the capacity nor viewership to engage with someone at that level. And Rudd just seemed unsure of how to take it. Overall I found it a quite average interview...

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread My main exception with that sentence is that Shorten could be considered talented.

Who was the one person who voted yes???

You have such unusual politics.

You realise Rudd came to prominence as the Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister, don't you? As was Andrew Peacock. And lol at calling Alexander Downer and Stephen Smith "high-flyers".

I suggest you go read up on Keating, you'll find he didn't, in fact, do nothing but rather he did a fair bit, given the four years afforded to him. The Liberals' successful leaders have held onto power and cut off anyone at the knees who could possibly ever challenge them. Hence why Menzies...

But she's married to the leader of the Labor Party, you see. That makes her one level above child molester in these parts.

I'm bagging out the fact that he's trying to disguise it and trying to make out he pulled himself up from poverty to where he is today. Fraser came from privilege but thankfully never made himself out to be some man of the working class.

He came from VERY humble beginnings though. Don't you know, he even lived in a rented flat once?!

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread You realise before the next NSW election there's due to be an ACT election, a South Australian election, a Tasmanian election, a Queensland election, a federal election and a Victorian election. Am I to take it you want Labor to win all of those?

My highlight was this 70ish woman who came to take How-to-votes, with this T-shirt which had "Abortion is a deadly sin" written across the front. I wondered if I should even bother offering her something from Labor, but then figured the possible entertainment value was too high for me not to...

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread You realise Howard no longer lived in Bennelong by the time he was voted out of office?

You're weird.

I thought state by state polling gives Obama, in all, a small (but there) majority?

Emerton?! Are you fucking nuts?! He'd be one of the top handful in our current squad. Jacob Burns, while wrong, is at least not as completely fucking ridiculous as Brett Emerton.

Chipperfield's having an excellent game. I have been wondering why his absence from other outings. Holman is the worst player Australia has ever had. Why is he still getting a run, when people like Josh Kennedy are left on the bench? Ludicrous.
