Refreshingly honest and bracingly stupid

todayiamadaisyToday I was the first to arrive at work and I had to unlock the security grille and turn off the alarm system. Pah. It's old hat now, not nearly as exciting the second time around.
Australia's (conservative) Opposition Leader has caused something of a fuss by saying in an interview that he always tells the truth when making scripted speeches but sometimes lies when he's speaking off the cuff. But given that he said it off the cuff, was he telling the truth? What a conundrum. He has managed to be both refreshingly honest and bracingly stupid at the same time. He is also fond of appearing in public wearing speedos, as this search page demonstrates. To think he was once in a seminary training to be a priest, tsk. (I cannot tell you how amused I am that there is a budgie in the middle of those pictures of Tony in his budgie smugglers, as those bathers are known.) Our political views differ so I do hope he never becomes Prime Minister, but his stint as Opposition Leader is an entertaining ride.
Also, is this the cutest bee hive ever?
