After more than 50 years in the military and politics, I am still amazed to see how upset people can get over nothing. Lifting the ban on gays in the military isn't exactly nothing, but it's pretty damned close
Everyone knows that gays have served honorably in the military since at least the time of Julius Caesar. They'll still be serving long after we're all dead and buried. That should not surprise anyone.
But most Americans should be shocked to know that while the country's economy is going down the tubes, the military has wasted half a billion dollars over the past decade chasing down gays and running them out of the armed services.
One difference between US America and the antipodes down there is that the questioner seemed sincere, was reasonably polite, did not spew talking points, and didn't even appear to be about to assplode from racist bile from the mere fact of a person of color being in a position of power.
In other words, politics can work if people behave like adults. We're doomed, of course. In other words: Nice Time, HAH!
Amen, so to speak. Love that scene.

You might want to ease off your affection for Koalas- they can give you chlamydia.
Many countries have an interest in places outside their borders that they are not bombing. Weird, that.
I was hoping Kevin pulled a machete after saying “Now this is knife….”
chlamydia- is that the horrible drink made with tomato juice?
You don't have to do anything more than pick them up (because they're so cute!).
ha! i just finished an article talking about what a dick he can be.
good to know even aussie dicks have more nuance than our wingtards.
even their wingnuts are better mannered than ours.

Australia seems nice. Too bad they have to live their whole lives upside down
