And so this is Christmas…

Eighteen months is a long time in politics.

The blog that never sleeps would like to thank the following for contributing to these, as the Chinese phrase goes, interesting times;

• The Global Financial Crisis
• The bailout of banking executives affected by the Global Financial Crisis
• Iceland
• Sport
• Ian Plimer
• Tony Abbott
• The entire NSW Branch of the Australian Labor Party
• The end of Liberal Democracy

This enforced furlough comes at some price. Luckily, looming homelessness has forced your humble scribe to return to going over the world’s entrails to discern what small truths can be gained there from.

Normal transmission will resume shortly.
