The Lesser Evil, the Bigger Evil: The Australian Choice

  • Nov. 25th, 2007 at 12:12 PM




And so Australia picked the Lesser Evil, which is no real choice, but it saw the end of Howard's Coalition, and I was no fan of that, so he and his ilk can fuck off, and let new villains on the stage now.

I concur. One can only hope there'll be enough pressure on him to Do The Right Thing, often enough to make a difference.

well, one can hope. me, i remain very skeptical. time will tell though, and i do hope i'm wrong--but i can't help but think that some of this swing came from liberal voters who saw in rudd what drew them to howard eleven years ago...

Well, I'm happy. And it looks like the Greens will hold the balance of power in the Senate. So the checks and balances should be in place, unlike the last 4 years where it was a free for all.

It's not perfect - but it's better.

Ah, you cared so much about the issue that 10 minutes to vote every 3 years was too much work for you. But you still want your little slice of the celebratory limelight.

Speaking of contests, do you know that you won a book over at Ellen Datlow's board at NightShade books?
