Election called

So John Howard has announced an election for October 9. Which destroys my prediction that JH was going to ruin my 40th birthday by calling the election for that date. And winning.

But can we believe him?

I'm still waiting for the Governor General (you know, our head of state) to come forward and say the election was actually called six weeks ago, but because no-one voted we have Howard back for a fourth term.

Hey, at least we'll be a lot closer now for your birthday party (we move to Five Dock on the October long weekend.)

Besides, we may all need to be in a position to comfort each other (except, of course, those running small businesses, or those who think the Iraq war "really rocks".)

BTW - My thirtieth birthday was an hour shorter due to daylight saving - so I'm not sure I've even turned thirty yet. At least that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.
