the good folks in australia have soundly defeated awol's ally and confounded the neocons by electing someone who is actually based in reality. nytimes:

prime minister john howard of australia suffered a comprehensive defeat today, with a coalition led by his liberal party losing its majority in parliament.

after four terms in office, he will be replaced by kevin rudd, a labor party leader and former diplomat. mr. rudd, 50, campaigned on a platform of new leadership looking for new answers for new challenges. he has said his first acts as prime minister will include pushing for the ratification of the kyoto climate agreement and to negotiate the withdrawal of australian combat troops from iraq.
skippy the bush kangaroo sez to all his australian friends: good on ya, mate!

addendum: the satirical political report has the real scoop: john howard loses to a kangaroo!

any country that has a handle on what is actually going on here in the US has my vote. I'm sick of this shit and I think we're screwed anyway. Let me know if there are any people, organizations, anything, that can get us back on a right track.
