Yes, this is a bit old, but the video of Jason Woods MP’s “Genetically Modified Orgasms” effort deserves to be chronicled for the ages:
And what is with that shirt/tie combination? They are bad enough on their own (that techni-colour spew tie in particular should be incinerated), but together they are a special kind of horrible.

Christopher Hitchens has a good piece at Slate on John McCain’s interesting proposal to introduce a form of Prime Minister’s Questions (Question Time for Aussies) in the United States:

Christian Kerr, newly of the Australian reports today on the biggest bloody beat up in Australian history.
A SENIOR federal minister has been accused of swearing on an open microphone - the day a parliamentary inquiry was announced into the use of swear words on television.
Innovation Minister Kim Carr was overheard apparently muttering under his breath […]
The Libs are beginning to realise that Opposition has absolutely no redeeming characteristics whatsoever:
CASH-strapped Liberal MPs are mounting a behind-the-scenes push to get extra pay for being a shadow minister.
