BECAUSE PETER GARRETT ISN'T THE ONLY AUSTRALIAN CABINET MINISTER WE EVER DISCUSS:  Congratulations to Aussie transport minister Anthony Albanese for his totally original remarks today:
In Australia, we have serious challenges to solve and we need serious people to solve them. Unfortunately, Tony Abbott is not the least bit interested in fixing anything. He is only interested in two things: making Australians afraid of it and telling them who's to blame for it.
It is unclear whether he then proceeded to have sex with Annette Bening.

    I believe Bill Bryson suggested a slogan for Canberra:  "There's Nothing To It!"

    That's also the best thing about driving to the freakin' whitehouse from anyplace except Dupont Circle.

    He considers them a threat to national security, and he'll go door-to-door if he has to, but he will convince Australians he's right, and he's going to get the didgeridoos.

    I wonder if he knows the merits of complimenting a woman on her shoes.
