They sure do tell it like it is!

Does seem to be free of pro administration corporate media tilt, doesn't it?

I hear reports from recent returnees from Iraq who speak of an increasingly grim situation. Somehow, our media don't show that real well.

they do for sure, tell it like it is.

their take on the middle east looks right on to me.

when traveling abroad of all the folks i met i liked the aussies best. they are a lot like americans. loud, fun loving and straight up.

i like brits too but they are a lot more reserved, perhaps a little less fun loving.

i picture australia as being a lot like america in terms of personal freedom and opportunity for individuals regardless of birth situation.

Our media shows it baby! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

(Yeah right.)

I have to agree, They really do seem to have it right.

Thanks for that article. It articulates some of my fears about this situation very well.

The situation is indeed getting worse

I love aussies! Especially the women. Their accents drive me wild! :D

At one point in my career, I photographed Rachel Hunter, she was very cordial and accomadating to the throngs of men who wanted their photos taken with her.

Ahhhh come on now... I'm curious to hear your perspective on all this.

Right on the mark and all they did was state the facts, where can I get a subscription to that newspaper?

She (Rachel Hunter -ed) also became the face and body of Ultimo, a Scottish lingerie house...
A Scottish lingerie house? ROFLMAO

Don't say that to anybody in the NRA. I believe the Australians have had their rights to own and bear arms taken away from them. They may still be fun-loving, but they apparently can't shoot at each other anymore from what I've heard. What fun is that?
