It has come to my attention that GWB, jr is making a pilgrimage to the country down under. If you have any sense of humanity in you at all, please do your part in helping the USA in this matter. Please keep him there. We do not want him back.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Amergin don't inflict him on the aussies. Try to change his destination instead. St. Helena might be a good choice.

It used to be a traditional place to send your criminals. 175 or so years ago he would have felt right at home. Send him to Woomera, just a one way ticket will do.

Maybe some kind soul could suggest that GWB take a quiet evening stroll along the mudflats down at Westernport, and the Bunyip Too-Roo-Dun could slither up behind him and gobble him up. According to researcher/singer-songwriter John Warner:

"His measurements are monstrous and a dreadful tale they make,
His head is like an emu, his body like a snake,
His carcass thick as several trees, his teeth just like a shark,
A frightful apparition to see gliding through the dark.
And up among the Anderson, or so the locals say,
You can see his ribmarks graven on the mudflats on the bay.
When herds of champion Herefords mysteriously have gone,
The rumour says they've vanished down the throat of Too-Roo-Dun."

But, alas, GWB might be too much for Too-Roo-Dun to stomack.

"It used to be a traditional place to send your criminals."

Actually it only came into use because America was no longer available for the purpose.

But it's a bit unfair saying that in the context of young Bush - transportation wasn't for rich and powerful crooks.

On the other hand he could be given the choice, as a "Quota Man", of the Navy or Australia.

Now that should be interesting, GWB jnr on the Lower Deck.

Tasmanian Devils are an endangered species as it is, and I seem to remember hearing a story lately about there being a new threat to their surviving. I think a Redback down every dunny that the Prez goes to might help things along.

Tasmanian Devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) are still around, but endangered.

The last known Tasmanian tiger (Thylacinus cynocephalus), also known as the Tasmanian wolf, died in Hobart Zoo back in the thirties, i think. There are occasional unsubstantiated reports of sightings.

We're happy to keep them to ourselves, and you Yanks can keep George stinking Bush to yourselves.

hey, Amergin, what has Oz done to you that you want to wish your sorry excuse (nasty excuse?) for a national leader on us? We have our own sorry/nasty excuse for a national leader.

There have been some good suggestions made, tho. Maybe we can send BOTH of 'em for a walk somewhere interesting, like across the Nullabour or east from Bondi beach till their hats float? Maybe Tony can join them?

Charley, you'll have to ask John to recite Too-Roo-Dun, tho don't forget to block your ears when it comes to the last word of the poem.

John's been practising, actually. I had a rendition of it only last night.

What about some of those drop bears? Maybe we could arrange for them to drop on GWB and little Johnnie Howard at the same time. Or we could send them out for swim at the beach where Harold Holt disappeared.

Or I could sic Eddie and David on him, as Neighmond suggested. They'd probably all kill each other - oh well, one can always dream.........

G. Bush, if mauled, stung, eaten and totally disposed of, would be succeeded by worse. Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld and Rice..etc..are still here.

I can't even joke about it much anymore. We need to simply vote the rascals OUT next year, hopefully with a majority that would send a resounding message to people who think & act like this bunch that most Americans do not care for the image we are being saddled with!

You know, if the Shrub dies for any reason we might get a look at who is actually pulling on his strings.

A frightening surprise for me this weekend! I went to visit my sister, who I haven't seen in quite awhile, and, of all subjects, Bush came up! They think he is a saint!! This is really absurd because my poor nephew is in the Air Force and his tour of duty is coming up. She is really concerned about this, of course, but she adores Bush!! "Look how much he's done for our country" she spouts! "What??" I shout incredulously! "He's tightened up security" she explains! "and acted very quickly to find Osama Bin Ladin! Didn't he?" I just sit down, frightened! And I'll tell you why...

I suddenly occurred to me that there might be too many people like my sister and we might get him/them for another 4 years! OMIGOD! Thank goodness she doesn't vote! I'm not sure if her husband and sons, who are now old enough to vote, do or not!

I may have to move elsewhere! Maybe Yorkshire! Nah! Sound like you're having problems too! ;-)

Personally I think it's nice to see that Mr Bush is such a great supporter of free speech that he said those very words in our very own parliament.... as a few of our elected representatives were thrown out of that self-same parliament for daring to disagree with his policies.....

Fortunately Bush won't still be in these sunny climes when the Chinese Premier arrives with his own particular slant on free speech.

Which makes me wonder how our Man of Steel is going to adapt to the different angle on things. He's good at follow the leader, and if he follows the Chinese example, we could all end up in deep, deep trouble.

Certain politicians - the Greens wore pictures of the two Austrailans holidaying Cuba Courtesy of the US Military - tried to interject, and afterwards pass on petitions, but were manhandled by Government backbenchers to prevent them getting near George.

Cowardly George then flew out of the country after less than 24 hours after arriving spend a portion of his time asleep - opinions differ on what proportion...

There is no Censorship in Australia - but Parliamentary Regulations prevent the broadcast on Australian TV of "unparliamnetary behaviour", so none of this would have been available to Australlian audiences if not for the presence of CNN cameras... :-)

No, no.... our toilets flush the RIGHT way. It's your reactionary northern hemisphere water that flushes the opposite way to ours. Which makes me wonder if that's your whole problem right there. If we could arrange for Bush and Blair to be revolved at high speed in the other direction for a while, their policies might make sense.......
