Party Politics

I’ve been on the edge of my seat this week, ever since Sunday when John Howard threatened to resign.

The thing is, the Man and I are planning to have an election party on the day of – you guessed it – the election. Actually, it could be described more accurately as an ‘Out John Howard’ party. So you can see we attach a certain importance to Howard actually fighting the election. We could have an ‘Out Liberals’ party, I suppose, but the venom many of us feel towards John Howard personally would add that extra je ne sais crois and encourage an enthusiastic turn-out.

Besides, I spent AGES of company time working on a multi-media PowerPoint invitation (with sound and flashy text effects) and I will be crushed if I can’t send it.

So, I was pretty pleased to hear about their improved opinion poll results this week. Overjoyed, even. Wouldn’t it just serve me right if they ended up winning the election? Noooooo!!!!

I LOVE all these pre-election stories. An election party sounds like SO much fun!

I didn't mention the toilet paper, did I? The Man has a roll of toilet paper printed all the way through with a picture of John Howard. The caption says, if I remember rightly, 'Wipe the smile off his face'. I thought it would add that extra bit of class to have it in the bathroom for the comfort of the guests. I tried to get hold of some more but alas, they don't make them any more!

Yes, I think it will be fun!
