In NO!-man's land.

During the past week on a TV news program I fleetingly noticed a federal opposition worthy taking a commentator to task for questioning Tony Abbott's wisdom and/or motive in pursuing matters seemingly incidental to the purpose for which parliament is assembled. The agitated interviewee spluttered "For goodness sake ... Tony's no fool. He IS a Rhodes scholar after all!"

Well ... hallelujah! What did he master in ... over-use of the word NO!? Or, did he sleep through the course?

I detest the power-lust of most present day politicians, whose only visible qualifications for high office seem to be gross narcissism coupled with general administrative ineptitude. Sadly (as the leading contender for Prime Mimister), Tony Abbott seems to me to be current top of the class when idiocy is the subject of scrutiny.
