I actually believe the Greens when they say, even if they can't support a National-lead government on confidence and supply matters, neither are they going to oppose for opposition's sake.
And I expect the Greens to keep sticking their fabulous Private Members' Bills in the ballot, and keep getting them drawn out.
BTW, congratulations Craig.
I'm packing to shift and too strapped for time to pontificate properly. And I have so many wonderful questions. Who's taking over from Helen? What will she do? How long can Winston maintain the will to live without a TV camera in front of him? How big a Christie did I make of myself last night, why am I not hung over, and is the Espresso-tini the greatest cocktail in the world?

What pleasantly surprised me was how busy it was
Same here, I had to wait to get into a booth for the first time ever.
I like the fact that we vote at a conversative Christian private school.

It's possibly a little too beefcake to call it SFW however (Hadyn suddenly discovers).
Well there goes my afternoon...

I am a little concerned about the satirists now, though. "Oh Bush impression, I'll miss you the most"...

"Ooh, Two hundred bucks. Well I guess that's OK then."
Two hundred bucks and lesbian porn.
Interesting* fact: the plethysmograph was used to stop people dodging the draft by pretending to be gay.

I want a cup cake.

What are the reasons for peoples (negative) reactions when they find out someone is gay/bi?
I did a wee google and found something really disturbing. It's a very small study so I'd take it with a very large grain of salt but still...
A study that appears to reveal a major cause of homophobia was completed at the University of Georgia in 1996. 3 It involved 64 white men, none of whom had engaged in homosexual acts during their lifetime. Their sexual fantasies involved only women. 35 of them were rated homophobic; 29 non-homophobic...
Each was shown three types of X rated videotapes: heterosexual, lesbian and gay. A plethysmograph measuring device (affectionately called a "peter meter") measured the circumference of their penis as a gauge of sexual arousal.
The two groups exhibited similar arousal when they viewed 4 minute samples taken from one heterosexual and one lesbian movie. But they responded differently to the male homosexual clip:
Degree of Tumescence: Insignificant Moderate Definite
Homophobic men 20% 26% 54%
Non-homophobic men 66% 10% 24%The researchers concluded that these data are consistent with the belief that most homophobic men have repressed homosexual desires.
Whatever it is, it seems to be visceral rather than reasoning, a deep-set genuine disgust that's not open to logic - like other prejudices.

Would Jenkins' campaign for gay rights if any of his children were homosexuals?
Or just ship them off to gay re-education camp?

Can we agree to agree?
In the spirit of that, I'd like to say that I now believe, that if we all work together, there is nothing, nothing that we can't make be all about science-fiction.

Wait! Danielle has wheels???
Choice, that will make running away with her so much easier.
Until you get to the first set of stairs.
Bugger.
