Oi! Oi! Oi!
Elections just happened in Australia, and their conservative prime minister -
this crankypants right here, John Howard - has just been voted out of office after eleven years! The Labor party candidate won! And now Labor is in control all over Australia!
Hello, Kevin Rudd! Congratulations.
PLUS! The Green party now holds the balance of power in the senate, so ain't nothing going to fly without their say-so. Go Earth!
We Aussie battlers - large, small, and ersatz alike - are going to celebrate tonight. We're going to have
meat pie and chips but not with the new prime minister and a morning television personality dancing on it. I will also make it without the words "iStockphoto" on it.
Also, I'm going to make pavlova....
....delicious, delicious pavlova, the nationally beloved dessert of Australia.
Crikey! Have a go, ya mug! Ratify the Kyoto treaty! Be a harbinger of things to come*!
*It's the only kind of harbinger you can be, I think. You never hear about any other harbingers. Poor other harbingers with their low, low profile. Maybe they like it that way. Maybe they're a private people.

woohoo!!!
enjoy your pie and pavlova. I think I might make pavlova for Christmas and mystify the Italian in-laws again.
I just had to check you out after your hilarious comment on finslippy today. And let me just say that I am rarely curious enough to do that, despite the oodles of wit I often encounter in blog comments. (Not my blog, of course. No one comments there.)
And after perusing your blog I see that there's so much more hilariousness to enjoy. So I'll be back, for sure.
That dessert looks really good!
