Murphy's law

It's always like this: you write bugger-all for weeks and then all of a sudden there are fifteen things you want to blog about. And then your desklamp collapses.

I mean ter say, Kevin Rudd WENT TO A STRIP CLUB!! I mean, OMG, he visited a strip club like almost every other Australian male I know! Woah, stop press, cancel the election! How DARE this man aspire to lead the country. All politicians should have no sexual or even pseudo-sexual experiences in order to lead our country well. I mean, look how well John Howard's done.

But really. What the f*** does it matter if he got blind drunk and went to a strip club? (pretty stupid, actually, cos he couldn't see much.) Does it affect his ability to be a good politician? In fact, doesn't it give him much more of an insight into the average Australian mind, or at least the average young male Australian mind? Shouldn't our pollies have some life experience as well?

And, to top it off, Brendan Nelson reveals he did the same thing, in Adelaide, when he was 20. Gosh. I didn't need to know that. It doesn't change my view of him one way or another. I still think he's (various things I can't write here) who screwed our student unions over.
