who is of late wearing her clothes inside out for some bizarre reason

talking about bizarre ways of wearing clothes ...inside out would have to be better than the latest youth fashion sense wouldnt it ...ie ... weraing your trousers around the top of your thighs just under the lower crease of your butt cheeks where they meet the top of your legs (instead of on the hips or waist) so that the entire population of the world get to see every square inch of your underpants !!...................

WTF is all that about ??????? apart from being unsightly at best its got to be uncomfortable doesnt it ?????

so just to stay on topic , I think one of the political parties should come up with a policy that if they get elected they will bring in a law that sees any one who wears their pants like this will be sentenced to a public flogging or something similar

I think it's a fashion trend that seems to go away as soon as they leave home.

As long as their Mums do their washing it's ok....but once they have to do their own....they soon learn that skid marks aren't going to attract the ladies..lol

I am still intrigued with the declaration of the concept that Tony Abbott could attain the PM role 'by default'. Kevin Rudd being one who has voiced this concept.

I realise this is an over-simplification, but, is Labor that much on the back foot, that the Liberals could win by doing nothing more than just 'turning up'?

American Politics Defined

SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The state takes one and gives it to someone else.
COMMUNISM: You have two cows. The State takes both of them and gives you the milk.
FASCISM: You have two cows. The State takes both of them and sells you the milk.
MILITARY DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows. The State takes both of them and shoots you.
BUREAUCRACY: You have two cows. The state takes both of them, accidentally kills one and spills the milk in the sewer.
CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.
PURE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk.

REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors pick someone to decide who gets the milk.

AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: The government promises to give you two cows if you vote for it. After the election, the president is impeached for speculating in cow futures. The press dubs the affair "Cowgate".

ANARCHY: You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at a fair price or your neighbors kill you and take the cows.

Perhaps if we take a microscopic step past pedanticism and look at the possibilities of analogy, inference, suggestion. tongue-in-cheek or even a simple misspelling, then I think the meaning falls into place.

If we wish to take a step closer, the only difference between confusion and understanding is 'u'.

The EPA have confirmed that the oil spill that occurred in the Timor Sea did not reach the Kimberley Coast - like we did not know that already.

But they have also found what went wrong - An inquiry into the spill at Thai-based company PTTEP Australasia's Montara oilfield heard earlier this year that a faulty cement pour and the lack of a control cap on the well were key causes of the blowout.

http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/report-finds-wa-coast-not-contaminated-20100810-11xls.html

We escaped the bullet that time - but can we be sure this want happen again at Margaret River or on the Kimberley Coast when they start drilling there. Probably not, I mean what sort of idiot forgets to put the control cap on - the types of idiots we are allowing to drill for oil - thats who

The seven dwarfs always left to go work in the mine
early each morning.

As always, Snow White stayed home doing her domestic chores.

As lunchtime approached, she would prepare their
lunch and carry it to the mine.

One day as she arrived at the mine with the lunch, she saw
that there had been a terrible cave-in.

Tearfully, and fearing the worst, Snow White
began calling out, hoping against hope that the dwarfs had somehow survived.
'Hello...Hello !' she shouted. 'Can anyone hear me ? Hello !'

For a long while, there was no answer. Losing hope, Snow White again shouted,

'Hello ! Is anyone down there ?'

Just as she was about to give up all hope, she heard a faint voice from deep within the mine,
“VOTE FOR GILLARD”
Snow White fell to her knees and prayed, 'Oh, thank you, God ! At least Dopey is still alive !

While doing a bit of research into the parties in this election, I came across some interesting and quite revealing information relating to The Greens.
If you have any empathy with the Christian faith, morals, ethics or ethos, you may want to know this.

The Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) put 24 questions to each of the political parties of key issues of concern to Christians.
These 24 questions covered a diverse range of topics: Public Christianity, International justice, Poverty, Life (cloning, euthanasia, abortion), Youth & Education, Family, Sexualisation of children, Environment, Justice and Indigenous issues.

Link - http://australiavotes.org.au/

All of the political parties gave a response to each of the 24 questions - Except the Greens.
The Greens declined to answer 18 of the 24 questions.
Perhaps they won't respond to these questions for the same reason Obama can't/won't prove he's eligible to be president - the answers would be too revealing, perhaps!

their video ( http://media.smh.com.au/national/selections/voters-let-loose-on-party-leaders-1772924.html?from=newsbox ) on the event exclaims : there was clearly no winner on the night
