I’ll decide tomorrow night whether I want to punch the federal election in the face or hug it.

Cheer up Election! Perhaps you should go for a holiday to somewhere like China – people there would love to have you!

Only one comment this late in the day? Oh dear, Mr OTHM: you’ve been working yourself ragged these past few weeks (in particular), no doubt with lotsa Valium etc to hand – and who could blame you? I myself have drunk myself into blissful oblivion daily, just to cope.
But, oh yes, the poor Federal Election critter itself. I sobbed, uncontrollably. Reminded of my so many of Leunig’s bleatings against the Barbarians in recent years.
I say: your good self and Leunig should run this country with Possum C as Special Head of State).
Meanwhile………………………………………..Saturday looms.
I shall vote Green (for the first time, in both houses) despite being in one of the ossified Nat seats with a +5.9 swing. A mere, probably pathetic, ‘protest vote’. But have just also taken possession of a glorious German Ronisch piano circa 1874, and will simply practise scales or Czerny exercises during the truly scary bits during election night. Whilst drinking copiously, naturellement.
Please take care of yourself Poss. Do you have a good therapist?????

Jiminy Cricket! As though I wasn’t sufficiently despondent already.

@Grinder, you raise a great point.
