Now apparently the Australian's get it -- speak out against Bush and Big Business/Brother will squash you like a bug (see the third sentence from the bottom of this article). Dixie Chicks, Howard Stern, Whoopi Goldberg...all have their livelihoods threatened by rabid Bushwhackers.

What baffles me is that there is even a contest here in November. How does Bush talk about values with a straight face? And why do so many Americans who refuse to see what the Australians see quite clearly -- that we are at war -- not with terrorists. With a group of conservative Republicans who think they should be able to control everything that people do, say and think.
