EU versus Australia

I never realised this before but Australia is around twice the size of the entire European Union.

Sure most of it is uninhabitable desert, but it's still fascinating.

Setting the Record Straight

It's been bothering me for quite some time that I previously posted I would like to see Hillary run in 2008.

Let me be clear. After seeing her in action as a US senator for the last few years it's clear to me we know nothing about her. She's walking that fine line trying to keep the leftwing of the Democratic party on side (thus avoiding what happened to Joe Lieberman) so she can win the nomination. Simultaneously she needs to maintain her credibility with the centre to have any chance of winning the election.

Her strategy seems to be to keep her name in the headlines while keeping her policy positions out of them.

As I do not know what she stands for, I cannot at this time support her. Consider the support withdrawn.
