PM off on Overseas Trip
before he left I heard the PM say that he expected to have important discussions with the PRESIDENT OF THE USA. He would have his photo taken with him. Our country will be taking a much stronger place in world affairs and could be expected to stick our noses into all manner of things. We will of course tell everyone what they should do to fix their global warming.
Rudd defends timing of marathon trip | The Daily Telegraph
I wonder what crisis will occur next week that Julia will somehow waffle through.
First Day
Rudd's troop withdrawal leaves Bush alone on Iraq - National - smh.com.au
Well I agree sure is time to pull troops out - what with the Iraq government starting a civil war in Basra. But I hardly think the number of troops really would be noticed and won't we be
leaving some as security for our diplomats etc. Glad to see we are still there to help the Afgahnis.
It's stuff "Mr Rudd said sparing "working families" the full brunt of the global financial crisis was the uppermost reason for his two-and-a-half weeks of talks with the world's most senior business, political and economic leaders." What is this Working families that he talks about - does he mean he excludes a lot of the population.
I did like "Dr Nelson and others were engaging in "short-term political point scoring", he said."
Wow is he above criticism

Richard Widmark, Actor, Dies at 93 - New York Times
Richard Widmark, Actor, Dies at 93 - New York Times
Richard Widmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forgive me Richard this amazed me - I just did not know you were still around. Then I read on Wiki that he was never on a talk show - last film was 1991 - so no wonder he dropped from view
To me he was the greatest villain I ever saw. He just oozed badness.
But then he could also be a most noble hero.
His classic films were in the late 1940 into 50s
Great picture of him as psychopathic killer from 1947 “Kiss of Death”. Yes and that's Victor Mature behind Richard.
The intensity was always there - "The Bedford Incident" said so much about the Cold War stupidity of vessels running around with WMD
And this says a lot about the man:
Widmark was married to his first wife, writer Jean Hazlewood, for almost 55 years, from April 5, 1942 until her death on March 2, 1997
