Unfortunately, to a certain extent having the most guns makes you a “world leader” whether the world is aghast at your politics and the stupidity of your public or not. When the U.S. is spending almost half of world military spending, that’s all the “leadership qualifications” that are needed for the world to take the U.S. very, very seriously.

Those things are as typical of Australia as ‘throwing a shrimp on the barbie’ or being attacked by a Great White while surfing. 😈

Remember, this is the furure of the USA right here):

37 People Who Say They’re Moving To Australia If Obama Wins

And, not that I want to discourage them from coming, but in the interest of honesty:

*sigh* My work is done! πŸ˜‰

From: Perth Now (Sunday Times in Perth, WA):
Fail: Anti-Obama teen wants to move to Australia because we have ‘Christian, male president’

Hmmm. I don’t feel at all depressed now. Really! :lol; Laughter truly *IS* the best medicine.

Thank’s, y’all! πŸ˜€

This is what our media thought about it:

Confused? So was Kristen Neel

And, looking at her photo, I have to say that she does look like she has the appropriate IQ to be a Rethug. Or a Miss Georgia entrant (same thing). πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜†

Some of the comments I like:

“our “president” is a prime minister, is a woman, and is an atheist. I think you meant Antarctica. Move there.”

“Not one word of that sentence is true. I’m not even angry, I’m impressed.”

“USA, may I suggest more funding to Public Education to avoid another Twitter-tragedy in 4 years time.”

Did I mention? I looooove US Elections! LMAO

Still, she should definitely come on down. The fauna is getting hungry. We need more US immigrants (the fauna’s fave delicacy) 😈

Been watching TDS (duh!) and was amused to see a few items:

* Tammy Baldwin defeating Lindsey Graham (WI)! Talk about ultimate irony! πŸ˜†
* quoting Jon: “Florida’s clusterf*chery is irrelevant!” πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜†

And the absolute BEST of all:
* FAUX news Megyn Kelly totally lost it (more than once)! πŸ˜†

Still, she did get in a good shot when she interrupted Rove as he began one of his flights of speculation early on in the evening. β€œIs this just math that you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better or is this real?”

Jon was beside himself! πŸ˜† He said that Megyn’s comment would be a much better slogan for FAUX than the one they have now (How true!) πŸ˜€

From: The Atlantic Wire:
The Time Karl Rove Took on the Fox News Decision Desk

* The voters of CA voted to increase sales and income tax(for high earners)! (That must have caused a few Rethug’s heart attacks)! They also rejected a referendum to abolish the death penalty. Oh, and Male porn stars must wear a condom during filming! πŸ˜†

What else… well, there was a lot actually. Hmmm… Oh yeah, the retarded M Malkin wants to start impeachment against Obama because he lied. It was then pointed out that he shan’t started his 2nd term yet. Of course she began shrieking as she does, that that was irrelevant! I love it when her head explodes when she doesn’t get her way (which is often).

I’ve said it before… I love US elections! The USA would be soooo boring without them! πŸ˜‰ 😈

Ummm… yeah, please send more tourists… The poor fauna are starting to look thin. πŸ˜‰

I assume that she thought that John Howard was still the Prime Minister, but he went out in 2007. Not only was his party booted out, but he lost his seat in the parliament to the Australian equivalent of Diane Sawyer, Maxime McKew.

The only place for these people to go is Somalia. It is difficult for government to get any smaller than non-existent, and the pirates prove that free enterprise is alive and well.

Steve, I vote whether it is required or not, so I wouldn’t care, and they do have an instant run-off system, so the winner has some support from a majority of the voters. They use open-source software in their election system, so people can see how the votes are counted. All in all a better system than the US.

I doubt Ms. Neel would be happy to see her freedom thus abridged. Personally, I see compulsory voting as a small price to pay for presumably nearly 100% participation in elections.
