| More predictions - Indooroopilly |
The LNP will take Indooroopilly off Labor turned Greens member Ronan Lee.
His vote will increase by 10% but most of that will come from ALP defectors and the LNP will ride the exhaustion rate to victory. |

| Financial Crisis |
If anyone is interested in understanding the current financial crisis they should look for parallels in the Panic of 1907. |

| Busy doing stuff |
Yes, I know about the spam. I'll fix it one of these days.
There are no Australian elections due for quite some time so I'll be posting infrequently.
In the meantime have fun following the US elections. Should be an interesting one.

| McCain's Daughter's Blog |
John McCain's daughter Megan has her own blog which is politics free and offers a unique view inside a presidential campaign. Very interesting.

This should be a warning to all parents against letting an election junkie babysit children on an election day. |

| Brisbane City Council Prediction |
The race for Australia's biggest city council, Brisbane, will be held on Saturday. Campbell Newman, the Liberal's top ranked politician in Australia is hoping to be re-elected as well as ending Labor's hold on the council chamber.
My prediction is that he will smash Labor and end their 18 year? council domination by gaining five seats to form a majority.
Labor is only running a half hearted campaign. No one at work could even name their mayoral candidate. |

Former New South Wales Justice Minister Thomas Ley:
- Was charged with attempting to bribe his Labor opponent Fred McDonald. McDonald mysteriously "disappeared" and the charges were dropped.
- Ley critic Hyman Goldstein (Member for Coogee) was found dead after apparently "falling" from cliffs.
- Keith Greedor was investigating the previous death but, whilst travelling by boat, he fell overboard and drowned.
- Convicted of the Murder of John McBain Mudie, who he thought was having an affair with his mistress.
He died in Broadmoor Asylum, England in 1947. |

| Australian Politics Sites Blocked by Iran |
While browsing the Iranian Web I became curious as to which sites are blocked, and which aren't. Rating the blockage level is complicated because a site will be banned then work half an hour later.
The site most disliked by the Iranian Government is.. The Other Cheek - Andrew Landeryou's Blog of Freedom
Blocked 90% of the time:

| Homespun Folksey Presidents |
Never forget - for some strange reason Americans love homespun folksey presidents. Why is beyond me.
McCain has that all over his opponents and gives the Republicans a big advantage over his Democrat rivals.
Obama can out "homespun folksey" Romney so the Republicans are in trouble if he wins the nomination.
This is a purely superficial observation and is probably rubbish but does go a long way towards explaining every president back to Jimmy Carter.
PS: I'm still in Iran but trying to follow the action from the unblocked websites.
