Thanks, Louise! Allow me to reciprocate & speak to you in Australian, to the best of my feeble ability:

G'day, mate!

Boomerang!

Kangeroo!

Foster's! (That's Australian for beer, at least according to a commercial they used to---maybe they still do---show here in the US.)

Feed the masses and they'll vote for your candidate....hmmm...I think that ethically it beats 'appeal to their emotions and give them nothing substantive in return for their votes.' Yah, I wish we'd thought of it before. Shall we start the 2008 Blunderite Voter Registration Kitchens? I'll chip in recipes and batches of Democratic Texas Chili (no beans, no gas), Fried Left Wings, French Chocolate Ganache Torte, and Nuts in the Pralines (not in the White House) candies.

Actually, Shelly, I was making a joke that only I'd understand, but I'll leave it at that & say truly that I like your interpretation better anyway!
