I'm Kevin Rudd - I'm here to rescue you!

Everyone, Aussie or not, should check out this video. As background, today is the federal election in Australia, and while three of the four commercial TV channels are providing live election coverage, channel 10 is showing... The Empire Strikes Back. (Also, Howard is the current PM, while Rudd is the leader of the opposition.)

OMG, I think I just died laughing.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go join the rebellion vote.

Election Update

Labour has the majority in the lower house, with a massive swing. Howard is gone. And it's looking likely he's going to lose his seat - only the second time in Australian history the PM hasn't won in his electorate.

Hmm. Harry Potter as PM...

And as an added benefit for my flist, this should be the last time I spam you with election-related posts. At least for the next few years *g*
