Even random numbers do not work in my favour!
1/10 on a topic I know NOTHING about whatsoever.
How about a seminar on the current political situation of Queensland?

Maybe he colluded with Russia? HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Funny how anyone who dares NOT to accept far Left lunacy is invariably depicted as stupid . . .

Saturday Schadenfreude: Al Gore inserts himself into Australia's election — and Aussie voters run the other way
You'd think Al Gore, the big clown dumkopf who went off the rails after he lost the 2000 election to George W. Bush, would have learned a thing or two about what works in Western politics. One of those things is that foreign interference in another country's election is the most reliable way to get the opposite of the desired result.
Well meaning Brits who wrote letters to Ohio voters, after all, urging them to vote for John Kerry in 2004, were pretty much the example of how well that idea works out.
Well, either Gore is a slow learner or else he never got the memo. Instead of recognizing how futile this idea is, he went to Australia just ahead of its election — one that Al Jazeera said was all about global warming indeed — and repeated the same stupidities he always does about global warming, telling Australians how to vote to make him happy. When happened then is what always happens:
Gore gave Australians one more reason to vote the other way. The latest election returns signal that that's exactly what the Aussies did.
Here are some CNN live-blog headlines:
Stunned Labor refuses to concede (Note: That's the global warmers in the same left-wing tree as Gore)
Morrison is magnificent, says former PM John Howard
Labor may have lost "unlosable" election
First results hint at Labor shock
You get the picture. Gore must be freaking out.
Sounds as if Gore did his part to ensure a conservative victory in Australia, which is great news for Aussies — and America, too.
What a clown.
By all means, Gore, keep speaking out. Conservatives can use your talents.

There was ONE bright spark of hope for Australia last night.
Abbott is GONE.
Abbott didn't want to be a quitter, but that made the Liberal Party the loser in Warringah
Former prime minister. Conservative warrior. Proud budgie smuggler wearer - the man who once described himself as the ideological love child of John Howard and Bronwyn Bishop has been a polarising political player for 25 years.

You should have seen my seat's ballot paper.
10 candidates and the one I wanted to vote for drew slot 10.
Because of compulsory voting a lot of people do the "donkey vote". That is when you just number 1,2,3,4... down the list and go home. The Liberal candidate drew slot one, Labor drew 10 and the clown car was in between.
Hannah Beazley (Kim's daughter, so Labor royalty) was up against a liberal incumbent AND voter apathy.
She still managed 48%, despite 7 of the 10 candidates being conservative moron parties who ALL gave their preferences to Liberal.
So there is hope for her in 3 years time.

That's rather different, there cannot be this number of racists in Oz surely.
18 October 2004 ... Have you not noticed that Americans don't give two shits what Europeans think of us? Each email someone gets from some arrogant Brit telling us why to NOT vote for George Bush is going to backfire, you stupid, yellow-toothed pansies ... I don't give a rat's ass if our election is going to have an effect on your worthless little life. I really don't. If you want to have a meaningful election in your crappy little island full of shitty food and yellow teeth, then maybe you should try not to sell your sovereignty out to Brussels and Berlin, dipshit. Oh, yeah - and brush your goddamned teeth, you filthy animals. Wading River, NY
... KEEP YOUR FUCKIN' LIMEY HANDS OFF OUR ELECTION. HEY, SHITHEADS, REMEMBER THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR? REMEMBER THE WAR OF 1812? WE DIDN'T WANT YOU, OR YOUR POLITICS HERE, THAT'S WHY WE KICKED YOUR ASSES OUT. FOR THE 47% OF YOU WHO DON'T WANT PRESIDENT BUSH, I SAY THIS ... TOUGH SHIT! PROUD AMERICAN VOTING FOR BUSH!
... Real Americans aren't interested in your pansy-ass, tea-sipping opinions. If you want to save the world, begin with your own worthless corner of it. Texas, USA
... I enjoy reading your paper and agree with your politics, but this is really too much. Your plan, if carried out, will hurt the Bush opposition TERRIBLY. We cannot afford to have this associated with John Kerry or anyone else. It will be; the press is going in for a kill, days before the election. United States
... Hey England, Scotland and Wales, Mind your own business. We don't need weenie-spined Limeys meddling in our presidental election. If it wasn't for America, you'd all be speaking German. And if America would have had a president, then, of the likes of Kerry, you'd all be goose-stepping around Buckingham Palace. YOU ARE NOT WANTED!! Whether you want to support either party. BUTT OUT!!! United States
Please be advised that I have forwarded this to the CIA and FBI. United States
... We all enjoyed this at work. Cheers. United States
Keep your noses out of our business. As I recall we kicked your asses out of our country back in 1776. We do not require input from losers and idiots on who we vote for in our own country. Fuck off and die asshole!!!!! Knoxville, Iowa
Mind your own flipping business. United States
... Who in the hell do you think you are??? Well, I'll tell you, you're a bunch of meddling socialist pricks! Stay the hell out of our country and politics. And another thing, John Kerry is a worthless lying sack of crap so it doesn't surprise me that a socialist rag like yours would back him. I hope your cynical ploy blows up in your cowardly faces, you bunch of mealy-mouthed morons! United States
I used to visit the UK every year. I love the history and culture of your country. But after I heard about your campaign to influence our elections, I've decided that neither myself, nor my family will ever visit again. I'm offended by your campaign and because of it, I'm remembering more of the negative aspects I've seen in the UK than the positive ones. Though I still love the castles! Detroit
... You radical leftwingers are worse than the Taliban. I suggest you stand back and take a good hard look at yourselves. PS: When do you propose to add Michael Moore to your staff of lunatics? United States
... As a US citizen, I want to advise you that you and anyone that participates in subverting the US presidential election can be criminally charged and perhaps even charged as spies. California http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections2004/story/0,13918,1329858,00.html
