Holding my breath…

Having taken a bit of a break from writing, I'm now back, presently turning purple from holding my breath and typing very slowly with crossed fingers. 11 years of Howard's regime may just end tonight and it looks like Howard may be losing his seat (one does have to give him credit for having the guts to run in a fairly marginal seat though).

We may have no more Howard, no more Workchoices and no more idiotic election campaign ads screaming about fanatics and extremists (I was wondering how long it would be to escalate to "terrorists", but then came the little stunt in Lindsay and it became clear that the Liberal party desperation has reached a critical point. Hopefully, tonight their desperation will prove warranted and Mr Howard will be able to go into a long-deserved retirement.

I'm heading back to the TV screen to continue watching the coverage and to see whether I can walk with crossed toes.
