The Australian economy is weaker than American beer at the moment. Just terrible. It was worse before New Year, but the fact of the matter is that Australia wasn't quite in the shitter the way it is now before John Howard came along. Of course, I am not really in a position to comment intelligently on the matter because I haven't lived in Australia for that long since 1995.

I don't trust politicians. Not as far as I can throw them. Which, incidentally, is one of the reasons I would like to try my hand at politics. I don't know why this is, but it just is. So kindly stop eyeing me in that less than flattering manner.
