Hi all - ooh, it's Halloween isn't it? Not a big thing in Australia, not like North America, but we will see how many kiddies wander around tonight I guess. New neighbourhood and all, haven't yet gotten the feel for how 'community spirited' this place is - talked to a neighbour on one side and boys kicking footballs around two houses over on the other side, and a dog on either side of us as well. Is good the space this new place has, and the lack of noise (thank you carpet) can't hear when everyone is up LOL.
More reaction to the Bin Laden video - he did look relaxed and comfortable and confident on it, didn't he? Another site I was looking at last night said the phrase 'tanned, relaxed and ready', as if the Hindu Kush is Saint Kitts for overworked executives or something LOL. And the snap polls are showing a swing to the incumbent in the Election cos of Osama's intervention. Hmmph.
Shouldn't it be well we haven't caught him yet, so we should be thinking about that? Or how that even the French left was saying we are all Americans now on September 12 and then revoked that on March 20 (the Iraq invasion date)? How the Administration has pushed through their worldview with NO consideration of non-Americans - we aren't asking for a veto George and Dick and Donald, just real consultation would be nice. We WANT to be on your side of the with us or against us divide, but give us diplomacy rather than a we are right so you must be wrong attitude. Grr.
More bad news from Iraq - eight Marines killed, nine wounded, in a suicide bombing. But of course with Al Qaeda being top of the pops, the mess in Iraq is relegated to third story in the news if that. Worst day for casualties in six months. And another bombing in Baghdad on Al-Arabiya, one of the cable news networks, freedom on the march indeed - what a fucked phrase, and the leader of the free world is spouting it as if he believes it.
BBQ today, with beer mmmm good combination :) Will see how the afternoon pans out :)
