So glad we have Media Watch to shine the light of truth on our cockroach 'journalists'.

    This is so much more interesting than what "Stupid Republican Candidate Said This Week," which is all our TV news has consisted of for about 3 months now. :( I didn't even know that Australia was having a lot of refugees come in.

    Crystal, that is a part of it - the actual numbers we are talking about are tiny, by comparison to the routinely processed refugee intake!

    Proportionally, we don't have a lot of refugees coming in, but like in all countries they are the target for lowest common denominator politics and media interests

Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery For this one I have one clear instruction before we begin. Pick up the cheese, step away from the cheese-board, and get thee to the kitchen. This is a cheese that needs - possibly even demands - some heat. Now I know the kitchen is a bit of a foreign place for the cheese-lover - I mean what use is there of fry-pans or cook-pots? Bear with me though, this journey is worth it. Before we begin, I'm going to take you on a small flight of fancy. Imagine, if you will, that an honest English Cheddar decided to take a holiday on the Continent, and found itself in Switzerland. Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child.

All of these have be proven to be possible in every practical and theoretical system proposed to date.  This is ignoring the problem of d) - if the voting is not occurring in a public place, how do you prove that t...
