FARK!!!!

i wonder how long to little johnny decides to do the same
shall we start a tab?

I live in his electorate, you know. It fucking sucks. No matter how many times I vote Greens, it genuinely won't make a difference here.

Goddamnit. Blair is gone at last. We have to get rid of Johnny! But then, Beazley's not much better. Why did Latham turn out to be useless? WHYYYY?!

You might find this interesting: http://archives.cbc.ca/IDD-1-71-101/conflict_war/october_crisis/
I don't know if it's something that's commonly talked about outside Canada.

Whoa! That is interesting. I'd never heard of it before. I don't think it would take much media spin for Bush to do the same to America..

let's hope it won't get worse from there

Uh huh. Who wants to call me paranoid now, huh?

purpleorb November 6 2006, 01:51:02 UTC

Standing from the outside, I'd never call you paranoid. Seriously. We get a fuckload of reports that always seem to be unheard of over there. It's hideous.

Thank you. I'm tired of people who don't even know what the Reichstagg is looking at me funny when I talk about the Repulicans and the way they're messing around...

purpleorb November 8 2006, 03:56:04 UTC

They are messing around.. stupid republicans.

I've been watching this recent senate election with some interest.. is it possible they won't fix the polls enough to gain a miraculous win this time?

Eeeeeeeeeep!!

Thank you so much for posting this. I literally haven't heard a peep about this yet, and I work at a media outlet.

*feeling scared and slightly sick*

that makes me kinda suspicious
like why can't i find it on any major national news source?
(oddly though, i can find it in my local newspaper)

starisea November 7 2006, 22:36:10 UTC

I did find one news item on it, when I went to search the archives, so it wasn't completely ignored.

I think Indymedia is playing up all the "worst-case" scenerios, but it is important stuff for informed citizens to consider.

dan_bakitus November 6 2006, 01:36:05 UTC

which is right here by the way
