I thought I was really doing well today.
I even managed not to spill anything all the way through frames 1-5.
But, alas, “baby sloth in a onesie” totally destroyed the joint.
Coffee everywhere and another keyboard bites the dust.
Bad dog!!!

Shame on you First Dog. I have had the dubious honour of reading Andrew Bolt on this very same subject. He, TA “is the most self-conciously moral political leader….” Bolt then cites Abbott’s charity work and asks the rhetorical question, “Does Julia Gillard?” Well Mr Bolt, like it or not, Julia Gillard has a country to run. A task made doubly difficult by the hate medya such as yourself.

Shame on you First Dog. I have had the dubious honour of reading A Drew called And Bölt on this very same subject. He, TA “is the most self-conciously moral political leader….” Bçlt then cites Abbott’s charity work and asks the rhetorical question, “Does Julia Gillard?” Well Mr Blut, like it or not, Julia Gillard has a country to run. A task made doubly difficult by the hate medya such as yourself.
