Paper bag time . . .

I know, this isn't the idol blog I haven't done yet. It's instead a deep breathing exercise in readiness for the other vote this weekend, one that you might argue rates as slightly more important than whether or not The Gauc wins over Matt Corby (which FYI, she totally should but if I can only win one battle, Natalie my love, I'm sorry but I want this one MORE.)

My first election memory is from 1983 when I was ten years old and Bob Hawke was leader of the Labour Party. Mum and Dad took us to the polling booths with us and Dad wore this shirt (although in my strange childhood headspace, it was entirely Light Labor Union Blue) :



In honour of that shirt and that election and in tremendous hope that tomorrow we rid ourselves of The Blight that is John fucking Howard and Peter shitbag Costello and their ilk and in true FamilyBelle tradition, I shall be wearing my Kevin07 shirt to the polling booth. If this all goes well and according to The Plan then things look brightly upwards for Hillary in the upcoming US primaries as well. It's not much to ask, right?
