Does anyone have the 'montage song' from Team America? If you do, plz send it to me.

 ...I've been making videos of stuff I've been up to in Vietnam. My channel of stuff I've done so far- http://www.youtube.com/user/imdaveyeahdave?feature=mhum

I'll probably post new videos here from now on. I keep forgetting.

I'm starting to like this whole minority government idea. Have a look at these parliamentary reforms that have bipartisan support. Among the changes, these are the ones that stick out to me the most:

• An independent speaker. How awesome is that? I really look forward to seeing a speaker who can really let fly, the last time I remember that happening ( Read more... )

I've been in Vietnam for close to a month, and there are a few things that I miss from Australia. List! No particular order.

1. My beer. And good beer in general. The most commonly available beer here is Hanoi beer, which is a Standard American Lager- watery, 30-40% adjuncts, and flavourless. They like putting ice in it for some reason. Pff, after all ( Read more... )

A hung parliament, the Greens increasing their primary vote by 50% and picking up its first lower house seat, the Greens getting the balance of power in the senate, Fielding losing but Day winning for Family First, ensuring that crackpot party still hangs around the halls of parliament, and nobody knowing exactly who will be the Prime Minister once ( Read more... )

Mmm, my thoughts on the only debate on the election? It was all right. Very stage managed, and little substance was there. No mistakes to really point out, and both participants were good at making no real commitment.

OH FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK THE LIBERALS HAVE GOOD COMMERCIALS. Sure they aren't accurate, but they are just so damn good I almost like the crazy bastard.

OK, so here's my usual post where I talk about the parties and how they have gone.

Labor

I'll be honest here- Labor does not deserve to win the election. This is not to discount their achievements, they have been great-

• Stopping Australia from going into recession while the rest of the western world did (though I'll only give them partial credit for ( Read more... )

 Gillard today announced the election will be held on August the 21st. This gives the two parties 5 weeks to campaign. I'm kinda sad, because I'll be overseas for a majority of the campaign, and you should know how much I like election campaigns.

Should be exciting!

 I recently purchased a Kobo ereader, and as such here's a review. I was drawn to the idea of ebooks due to their convenience- cramming a large number of books into a small device struck me as a great idea. I had a look around at the various ereaders on the market, looking mostly at the Kindle and the Kobo. I decided on the latter for two reasons. ( Read more... )
