Thanksgiving: Australia Just Humiliated Lady Bigot 'Pauline Pantsdown'!
Firstly, if you're not familiar with Australian politics, you should know about Pauline Pantsdown, who is as far as I'm concerned its pinnacle. See, back in the '90s there was a fringe candidate called Pauline Hanson, and because Australia is parliamentary there was no law saying she couldn't start her own party. She called it "Pauline Hanson's One Nation" which seems really arrogant until you realize there's another party across the country called the Nick Xenophon Team.
This is George Christensen. We must all pray he never has a spat with Pauline and decides to start his own party. Photo credit: Fairfax
Anyway, Pauline Hanson is a bigoted little lumpkin and is about as well-liked in Australia as Ted Cruz is here. I developed an irrational love/hate relationship with her on my fourth day in the country because she's so gloriously fucking dumb. How dumb is she? Well. She once told a TV audience that she wouldn't eat halal food. So someone invited her over for haram food, which she also turned down lest she get any Muslim on her.
Anybody heard from Pauline Hanson yet? #VoteYes #MarriageEquality #AustraliaSaysYes pic.twitter.com/2hUmjFn8w1

I think that is an 'oonerspism', and as such is not fit to be uttered in polite company. But this is Wonkette, so oonerspizz away! Just clean up after yourself.
I stumbled upon a WSJ on the ferry when we were coming home. (Side note: yes, it is considered just fine to rummage through the newspaper-only trash bin on the ferry for reading material. Locals do it all the time, so no need for that outraged look from the obviously not-from-around-here baka I got Friday. Also, I consider the douche who carefully tears his newspaper into strips before depositing it in said trash bin to be a douche. Why?)
Anyway, back to the real story. I read my first ever Peggy Noonan op-ed. OMG. The things that Clinton supposedly did that I never heard about. Does she foam at the mouth when writing these pieces of crap?
