Competition To Find Aussie PM's Email Address
Internet Ninja writes "While we can all send anti-war emails to 'president' of the USA and even the Australian opposition, nobody can email the Prime Minister of Australia. So the opposition party started a competition to track it down as reported in Australias Sydney Morning Herald."
The Bali bombings and the Canberra fires...why have these events so shocked the world community? The first Australians were nothing but ex-cons and their descendent harbour the genes of criminality. Australians should consider the innocent victims of the crimes they have perpetrated (or will undoubtedly perpetrate in the future) before they expect the rest of us to turn a sympathetic ear towards them when the Almighty God reckons a grand punishment upon them.
Cool! I'll be sure to vote for him next time!
Speaking of LOTR:TTT. . .
I can't believe the insensitivity shown for WTC victims in the name of that movie. You'd think that even Hollywood would have enough sense to rename that movie in light of 9/11.

The governor has no say in who is elected to the Florida Supreme Court. They are chosen by direct election.
The governor has no say in who is elected elections commissioner. They are chosen by direct election.
"The Supreme Court justified installing Bush by pointing to press accounts of the election."
The vast majority of the members of the US Supreme Court were approved of by a Democrat congress.
The Supreme Court did not pick the winning candidate. The deicision boiled down to "Not our problem" after looking at both the US and Florida consitutions. The popularly-elected Florida high court did what they felt was required by Florida law. The popularly-elected commissioner signed off on the results.
Was the deck stacked against Florida voters? Perhaps. But they did it to themselves.
"The take-home lesson: your vote doesn't count; what the media report counts."
No, the take-home lesson is what it always has been in democracy since its inception: caveat emptor
