Rudd our best PM

It seems to me that Kevin Rudd will be proven in time to be our greatest PM.

I, and I feel a lot of Australians, are sick to death of "American jingoism" creeping into our society.

When in the US, Mr Rudd called Barack Obama a good fellow. Not a good guy. I hate the asexual connotation of guy. The Yanks can keep it. Give me a mate or fellow any time.

Hazardous material

It has now come to the attention of authorities that the controversial Speedo LZR race suits, a popular costume worn by swimmers who have broken world records, has been proven to be a health hazard.

An independent examination of the garments have discovered an internal pouch located at the lower region of the costume. This compartment contains a miniature outboard motor.

Keen observers at poolside watching the races have expressed surprise at the excessive amount of bubbles in the wake of the world record-beating winners.

Many of the winners were obliged to attend various hospital casualty departments for treatment for severe lacerations to their buttocks caused by spinning propeller blades.
