Melbourne can be damp on occasion but generally the weather is nice, spring is unpredictable, autumn and early summer are beautiful, summer is often scorching, winter can be damn but only goes down to 5-10 degrees. Melbourne isn't that small, the train network is very good, the CBD itself is walking-size and crammed with fantastic little cafes and bars, nightlife is more spread into surrounding suburbs.

There is a palpable irony in a state founded on persecuted religious minorities fleeing England spawning the religious right of today. The thing that amuses me is that this really will be the government Americans deserve - placate the worst tendencies while dry-fucking the country into bankruptcy and global hatred - the public is too worried about Janet's tit and where the ten commandments should be in the courtroom to even notice. Perfect.

Jag,
I wish you would stop saying that we are all getting what we deserve. The vote was 51% to 49%. Hardly a landslide. One in two americans don't support the current ruling party.
