<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri;">There’s no point denying it. I love US President Barack
Obama. In fact I often peer devotedly into his eyes via the embroidered Obama
cushion that adorns my couch. So in the history of bromances it’s arguable that
my love for him even exceeds Karl Stefanovic’s ardour for Alan Jones, John
Howard’s beautiful and tender devotion for former US President George W Bush,
and even Paul Henry’s besottedness for himself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">And it appears that when it comes to fellow countrymen,
I’m not alone. An online poll of 1,000 Australians by UMR Research revealed
that a landslide 72% of us would vote for President Obama. While a Lowy
Institute poll put that figure even higher at 80%. (A level of popularity
statisticians mathematically define as the ‘One Direction + Gangnam Style to
the power of fluffy kitten memes’ principle.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">With numbers like that, Obama could probably go all
Chavez, change the constitution and become the grand high ruler of time and
space. But that’s if Australians could vote in the US election. With only a few
short weeks left until the election, the President has to face a much more
evenly split audience – the American people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">At this point it looks touch and go, although his
spirited performance in the second debate should </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">help wrest some of the
momentum back. There will also be a lot hanging on the coming onslaught of
swing state advertising (both official and ‘Super PAC’ unofficial). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">But in case of emergency, I’ve prepared a step-by-step
guide of how to cope if Mitt Romney does become the President-elect of the
country that provides the remnants of Channel 9 with the bulk of its ratings. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Step 1 –
Accept the loss<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Acceptance is hard, but essential. We can see the
effects that denial had on many Republicans who joined the ‘Birther Movement’
after the last election. I don’t want to see any of us starting the ‘Martian
Movement’, no matter how much evidence there is to prove that Mitt Romney’s
hair is a glorious gift from Uranus. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Step 2 –
Open up about your feelings<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Don’t hold your pain inside like our always-demure Kevin
Rudd. Instead, let it out like an irrepressible, cross-dimensional meandering
worthy of Clive Palmer. This way you’ll be able to share your grief, loudly and
often with friends, family, coworkers, fellow commuters and trusted talkback
radio hosts or mummy bloggers. And don’t be afraid to cry. If Obama actually
does lose, I’ll be ready to show even North Koreans what unedifying public
grief for a fallen leader really looks like.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Step 3 –
Ignore the trolls and the doubters<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">As always there will be those around you and on the
global interwebs who’ll take great joy in rubbing hand-milled Murray River pink
salt into your wounds. These bandwagon jumper-on-er-ers will be hard to ignore
but it’s best that you do, as feeding them is like giving iron ore licenses to
chiffon-muumuu-clad mining magnates. Trust me, you’ll never hear the end of it.
It’ll be, “Let them earn enough to eat from the $2 McValue Menu” from now until
The Rapture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Step 5 –
Remember the good times<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">If there
are dark days post-November 6, then take heart in the words of Alfred Lord
Tennyson - ‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.’
Remember the feeling that electrified the world when a very green senator from
Illinois became the first African American to win the White House. Also recall
what he achieved for his country: passing health care, stimulus and Wall St
reforms; bailing out automakers; ending the war in Iraq; improving support for
returning veterans; repelling ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’; killing Osama Bin Laden; reforming
student loans; etc, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Step 6 –
Give yourself time to recover <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Finally,
allow yourself time to heal. As revered thinker and great philosopher Rachel
Hunter once mused, ‘It won’t happen overnight, but it will happen.’ And
inoculate yourself by knowing that if President Obama does lose on November 6,
that while the world could be worse off, at least we won’t have to wait another
four years for his next book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">For
my sake (and for my so far very tolerant girlfriend’s) I hope I never have to
use these tips, and that President Obama manages to hang on to his swing state
firewall. This may very well see him scrape home with the 270 electoral college
votes required to stay the man of my (and many Australians’) dreams for yet
another four years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">And
most importantly, it’ll give my beloved Obama cushion continued permission to brighten
up my lounge room – and my life – for many years to come.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Or if, like me, it forces you to leave the comfort of your laptop-singed, jizz-stained bed sheets and see a film on the big screen at your local cinemaplex. This film has been hailed as everything from Obama's latest evil plan to steal obese kid's gun money to the film of the millennia.<br /><br />There's no doubting that when you compare it to Showgirls or the Bible it is a great film. It is well paced, has Sorkin's usual dense engaging dialogue and confident performances of Jess Eisenbery and Anderw Garfield (the new Spiderman) and a perfectly cast Justin Timberlake (in his best work since 'Dick in your Box') as the creepy founder of Napster.<br /><br />The moral of the story? Be a complete a-to-the-hole prepared to knock the back out of friends, colleagues, class mates and any one's privacy you want in order to earn $25 Gorillian dollars.<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Timberlake" title="Justin Timberlake"></a>Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03521945243224467213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882338430723252654.post-53989776578676820912010-11-12T18:15:00.003+11:002010-11-12T18:19:29.737+11:00YouTube what did I do without you?

Maybe it's something about the Kiwi accent that confuses my neural receptors and nears me almost to the point of eye jizzing in sadness?<br /><br />Whatever it is, Boy has all the things you could possibly want in a film: sweeping visuals, intoxicating performances, humour, sadness and most importantly Michael Jackson dancing.<br /><br />I'd give it five churs as it is tu meke.

Aussie director Phillip Noyce met rave reviews with his last local production Rabbit Proof Fence. But America being America, and Hollywood being Hollywood he was tapped to remake it for an American audience. After many re-writes the journey of government abducted indigenous girls back to their family became the journey of Angelina Jolie in search of a new hair style (from long and blonde to black and long and then black and short for those of you keeping tally).<br /><br />I did however like how they managed to express the pain of losing your family to a racist government through the complex allegory of jumping from truck to car to truck to motor bike to police car. It was truly moving. Smartly the studio also insisted the title was changed to avoid any negative connotations against current US Secretary of Defence Bugs Bunny. Either way both Noyce, Jolie and the entire cast provide an interesting enough journey to keep you from resorting to mutual masturbation in the darkened safety of the cinema.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03521945243224467213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882338430723252654.post-65269194883370838312010-08-17T15:47:00.003+10:002010-08-18T14:15:58.229+10:00The land of the free and the money back guarantee - the Cami SecretAll of this election nervousness has made me retreat into reassuring pass times like watching infomercials and looking at tittays.

Whether set at 'high' 'medium' or 'slut' the innovative Cami Secret allows woman to close the fabric deficit in their tops and stop the nip-slips.<br /><br />I think I may buy one for my art director to cover his arse crack when it hangs out of his jeans.<br /><br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DZFY2I-EWQY?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DZFY2I-EWQY?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object>Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03521945243224467213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882338430723252654.post-71071166032978243642010-08-13T13:12:00.001+10:002010-08-13T13:14:25.312+10:00YouTube what did I do without you?

In my experience if you are going to knock-the-back-out-of-someone it is always a good idea to be on stage at the same time. No wonder the crowd was riled up, they'd come to see Gillard and Abbott finally give in to the sexual desires that lurk deep within their special places, but instead what we ended up with was two hours of self-love in front of a fairly partisan (if it wasn't partisan, then our dear lady PM is in trouble) audience.<br /><br />To lighten the whole thing up both parties are now both getting viral. You Tube is littered with various videos, but two of the best are the Liberal's 'Whack Labor' game <a href="http://whacklabor.liberal.org.au/">here </a>and the ALP's create your own Tony Abbott billboard site at <a href="http://www.tonyabbottisright.com/">tonyabbottisright.com</a><br /><br />Above are some of my efforts.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03521945243224467213noreply@blogger.com0
