A good chuckle. :)

Thanks to rpeate for pointing this one out.

the Australian Democrats have lost all credibility

They are supporting the Family First Party by directing preference to them. In case you don't know who Family First are, they are a bunch of wacko, christian, right-wing, fundamentalist loons who think lesbians should be burned at the stake*. I didn't believe anybody in the west was that stupid now in the 21st century. I was wrong -- it seems there are no limits on stupidity where religion is concerned.

For goodness' sake don't vote for the Australian Democrats. Can you imagine if we get one of these rabid nut-jobs in the senate?!?

As far as I can see, the Greens are the only choice. All the other political parties are morally bankrupt.

They missed Signals Intelligence (SIGINT).
And now there is the Department of Homeland Security too.
