Kerry's the one

It's Munster Vs Monster

I know, I know, Kerry looks like Herman Munster, and he sounds like he's coaching deaf kids to swim underwater. But just look at the alternative. No contest.

The three big issues this US election are the economy, Iraq, and terrorism. Pollsters in the US say that a majority of people want Kerry for economy and Iraq, but Bush gets the nod for terrorism. Let's keep this in perspective.

Americans are obviously far more in danger of terrorist attacks than pre-Shrub. And the fact is, that if our American cousins want the world on their side to eliminate terrorism, or at least reduce its occurrence, they need a Chief who isn't so "on the nose" worldwide. And it's not just in poor countries where Bush is despised. I have no doubt that a drover's dog could do better than GWB in that department.

This Tuesday (the first Tuesday in November), Australia can take its mind off the Melbourne Cup horse race for a bit (at 3 pm every living thing completely stops for that!), and hopefully send some good luck wishes to our friends in America.
