BRAD: WELCOME TO ELECTION DAY
Well here we are, the last stop on this amazing election odyssey. It’s all over tonight and tomorrow is a new day either way.
I can’t say that is going to happen. Labor have won every poll this year and I expect them to win the big one. People think it will be close, I both think and hope that it isn’t going to be but will be a strong Labor win nationwide.
Being a Brisbane boy I am very interested in what will happen with the Queensland seats. It is definitely going to be the most interesting state to watch. I expect strong support for Labor, stronger than expected.
I am particularly keeping an eye on the electorates of Forde and Petrie both held by the evil Liberal Party, the party of the social climbing try hards and greedy wannabes.
Petrie is Sheldon’s seat and Forde is mine. And both are winnable for Labor but they will be tough wins. I think and hope at least one of these two will fall into Labor hands.
I’m sitting here excited but I’m cut I can only vote once. I also need to remember to buy some DVDs to tape the events on.
I have a lot riding on this. For 11 painful years I have endured the Howard government and they have done so many things to piss me off, they have moved Australia from being truly Australia in my eyes. I’m hoping the real Australia can resurrect tonight.
It’s about 4am Election morning and the net is really quiet at the moment, but in a few hours it will be buzzing. No doubt me and Sheldon will be posting heaps….well at least I will.
What will you be watching? I’m struggling to see me watching the garbage Nine and Seven are trying to serve us up tonight. Sadly everyone thinks they are a comedian now days.
Maybe we will see a Chaser stunt tonight. I can’t see them staying at home and behaving.
Above all I’m looking forward to a Rudd victory so he can abolish Work Choices, which makes my blood boil. I was so cut up, so pissed off and so nuclear when this bullshit was pushed through parliament. I was stunned that this type of bullshit, this type of annihilation of Australian values and abuse of power would happen in Australia.
Hopefully tonight all that pain reverses into glee. Reality will be like a hollywood movie for once and the good guys will save the day.
I will now provide a list of words that could be used to describe the impending Howard Election defeat.
Annihilated.
Pwned.
Basecamped and nadespammed.
Hilarious.
Jobless.
Righteous.
Wasted
Nailed.
Anyway, I had better make a prediction.
I won’t pussy foot around with gay line ball predictions.
Labor by 26. With a massive schwing in QLD of over 10%.

Hey Brad. Not fair getting on line at 4.00am just so you you have the drop on Sheldon. You know he doesn’t get out of bed until noon! Not like his old man.
I’ve had 50 years of voting as a labor voter. In 1971 I had Gough Whitlam in my kitchen eating cornbeef and onion sandwiches while Tom Burns and a group of us planned his campaign launch in Queensland. I was one of his “shutter-uppers” in the audience. Hecklers did not stand a chance. They shut up or were belted up.
But…after 50 years of voting I know now that none of them are any good

You are not kidding mate. May as well vote for the public servants. They rule the government. Servants, like hell!

Hey it’s harsh when your dad is having a go at you on your own website.
I don’t sleep in like that anymore, too many things to do. I’m a busy man!
You really should get those stories on paper, I reckon. You’d at least be able to sell a copy to Brad.
