Victory in OzJohn Howard Prevails in Australia; Increases His Ruling Majority The media always looks to elections in the West for tea leaves for our own election. Frankly, I don't think there's much correlation. Still, it looks like the war is less popular in Australia than here at home and yet the public decided to stick with the more aggressive man in the war on terror. Australia has fought side by side with us in every war since at least WWII. Good on 'em. Thanks to Stan. posted by Ace at 11:34 AM
CommentsThe Australians, and New Zealanders, were technically our allies in WWI as well, being part of the British Commonwealth. As a result of the butchery at Gallipoli, the ANZAC forces suffered brutally in WWI, and ever since Australia has generally been highly hesitant about involvement in any war. Churchill was critical of the Australian government for refusing to institute conscription AFTER Pearl Harbor. This makes the Australian vote all the more significant.

Perhaps the Aussie have been loyals allies is that we fought side by side during WWII. Many Americans were stationed in Australia during the war. Our navy played a big part stopping the japanese advance that may have ended up with australia under japanese occupation. Our canadians friends to the north, besides the great french influence in quebec which is anti american, never have been under the threat of occupation by another country. it makes a difference.

The BBC is downplaying the victory as being based on economics - which not-so-coincidentally neither Blair nor Bush have in their favor. I wonder if the families and friends of the Bali casualties voted on the basis of economics, too. Consider the source. Posted by: The Black Republican on October 9, 2004 12:02 PM
10/9/04 "the war is less popular in Australia than here at home..." We have only the news media's assurance of this theirs and ours). Australians are a very independent and deliberate people. They only do what they want to do. If Mr. Howard won the election with greater support than he had before, the Australian people really wanted him as their leader. They didn't forget the war at the polls; it almost certainly brought them to the polls ready to vote for Mr. Howard. We are lucky and blest to have allies of the quality of the Australian people. God bless them. Lonnie Kendall Posted by: Lonnie Kendall on October 9, 2004 02:24 PM

Anzac troops were on the Western Front as well. Here's one Dough who was glad for it. Posted by: Donnah on October 9, 2004 10:24 PM
Yes! Lets hear it for the boys from down under! Even the Japanese love them, in these days. It would be so great if Americans Australia for close neighbors instead of Canadia. Just think of the surfing! Posted by: Joseph Reinhart on October 10, 2004 10:52 PM

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.) Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right. As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller." She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2: Remember the bamboo from Part 1? Do I ever! It's all I remember! Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy. We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations. I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said. She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021.
