BRAD: TWENTY-O-EIGHT
Welcome to a brand new Howard free year.
The Brisbane local elections are coming up, something I look forward to. If Lord Mayor Campbell Newman gets unsetted so does the current highest ranking publically elected Liberal official. So that is a big incentive to knock them off.
Over in the Minor Nation of US and A. A surprise victory for Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in Iowa. Which must add alot of credibility to his aim to be President. It should see him further strengthened in further upcoming votes.
The Democrats, who of course I cheer for over the evil Republican party, are interesting as it seems to be a battle between who wants to be the nation’s first female President and the first black President.
If either win, history will be made. I am hoping Obama does. He also has the O FACTOR. Which is Oprah Winfrey. She would have to stem the flow of support from women to Hillary. And between her and Obama they would have to motivate a hell of a lot of people to vote, maybe for the first time.
At least we will be thoroughly entertained this year by the US and A elections. I am still in shock that Americans were stupid enough to re-elect Bush last time but I guess John Kerry was a horrible candidate.
I’m currently growing a strike beard in support of the Writer’s Strike in the US and A. The writers are the ones that create the stories and ideas, that make the shows and they should be getting a lot more respect and money, but sadly this is so far from the case.
It is funny watching Leno and Conan without writers.
