Egad

David Hicks gagged from talking about his experiences for 12 months, to keep him quiet until after the federal election? Fancy that.

Howard hopes the Hicks case will fade away now, leaving him able to focus on distracting the public with more important things, like the economy. The pessimist in me has a nasty feeling he might be able to do it, too.

I might go distract myself from such weighty matters by doing my laundry, having already vaccumed, and cleaned the bathroom. Ah, the exciting life of a man about town. Did I mention that I was so drunk* on Friday night that my housemate had to help me to bed? No? Good, let's leave it that way, shall we?


*Drinking on an empty stomach after work leads to Richard falling over. Repeatedly. Alcohol is bad, kids, okay?
