Let me get this straight: Howard's running on a platform of trust? And I have to endure this for six weeks? I mean, sometimes elections are fun and stuff, but really, six weeks of editorialising and election lift-outs is not a good thing.

Anyway. Back to the Olympics. I haven't seen the closing ceremony yet, but from what I've seen, my prediction seems to have held true that it would feature 12-year old girls with streamers, dragons and lots of drill dancing. Could these be the retro-Communism games that Leah has talked up?
