Sob.

I”m going to miss him terribly, just as I miss Johnny.

How can one get as emotional over a fellow like Mr. Nelson, who is so very important, so very important that he thinks he is the most important person Mr. Rudd should consult?

I felt so much more empathy for relatively unassuming, self deprecating and therefore more loveable souls such as our Petey and our Johnny.

Sniff.

Hands up if you will miss his charasmatic personality, heroic stands and all round niceness?

For those not overly interested in the comings and goings of the US Presidential Election campaign there is some interesting reading provided by Laurie Oakes from March 2006 through to the present that will evoke a lot of memories of the historical time-line and events of the recent electoral jousting in this country.

I found it fascinating to compare what was perceived to result from various actions by the parties, especially the Liberals, and what eventually did come to pass.

Almost enough there to put together with appropriate linkages etc and publish as an historical record of probably the most fascinating election campaign since the war.

It’s but a tiny little gaffe really, but did anyone hear Malcolm Turnbull on Insiders this morning? Did you notice he called the Chairman of the US Federal Reserve Bank “Bob” Bernanke?

Poor Malcontent, jilted for leader over policies they are now following, and he’s stuck trying to explain why Krudd and SwanDive have rogered the economy…ah, that’s before they’ve even set foot into the new parliament! LOL

Mal’s got a big problem: he does not know how to shut up! Nor which battles to leave well and truly alone.

God, Horatio Hornblower almost looks like a class act in comparison, and that takes some doing.

Diogenes – Are the EB that much different to other religions in this regard? Are religious schools even required to teach evolution theory? I’m guessing most of the emphasis is on the religious view and ET gets, at best, only a passing mention.

And could any government withhold funding based on a religion’s beliefs? IMHO, that’s a can of worms that shouldn’t be touched under any circumstances.

On the funding of schools debate, is everyone here happy that Julia Gillard’s plan to maintain el Rodente’s school funding model ensures that the tax payer continues to fund the Exclusive Brethren schools to the tune of $18M over the next four years? Only Exclusive Brethren members can attend the schools and the children are brainwashed into thinking Intelligent Design is an ultra-radical heathen concept at odds with the flawless creationism model. I believe Ruddski referred to the EB as a “dangerous cult” and included special criticism of their schools. I will be interested if that was all puffed-up rhetoric for the benefit of the voters, or whether he’s actually going to show some leadership on the issue.

“to make the apology unanimous”.

Actually Martin B,
I think you’ve got it the wrong way around. Nelson does really agree with the apology but renounced it in December as part of getting the leadership.
Now he’s had to spend the last two weeks unravelling that pragmatic position.
I’m glad the Libs (or most of them) will be supporting it, I think it’s important to make unanimous.
