Dear me.
In the annals of FD history……..Many will say, *this* was his finest hour.
There’s Chardonnay all over the keyboard!!
Hell, even the wombat who lives under the house, is demanding an Iphone so he can RSVP Brendan’s hair. 🙂 🙂 🙂

I note that in today’s cartoon the delightful Ms Julie Bishop is depicted without her blood-red undead eyes. Is this an indication that she is now taking on mortal form? Or that she is developing strange powers beyond our imagination — except for the one I can imagine, which is that she can conceal her undead status from a gullible electorate?

FD this is called Costello Coalition Karma! After all those Tarago and other drivers braked for Nelson’s hair it came back to devour their ETS!
PS Stil – Julie’s eyes are burning brightly online – in fact a darker shade of ruby than Malcolm’s hoop-earrings.
