A new CNN poll has some really bad news for the Republican Party, with their favorability number reaching its lowest in a decade.

Only 36% of people view the GOP favorably, with an outright majority of 54% viewing them unfavorably. By comparison, the Democratic Party is at 53% favorable to 41% unfavorable — hardly a good omen for the Republicans if they want to make significant gains in 2010.

Landslide. David. Landslide.

The cascade of bank failures this year surpassed 100 on Friday, the most in nearly two decades. And the trouble in the banking system from bad loans and the recession goes even deeper than the number suggests.

WorkChoice-threatened families could sing it at barbies and infuse the kids with a sense of social justice before they become consumers first and human beings second; and before first person shooter games et al. steal their hearts forever! This melody is perfect for the job. Anthemic and quintessentially bloody Australian. Bung in a few bolshie/leftist/progressive lyrics et voila! Pret-a-protest. Demonstraters will need to be on-song with a half-dozen or so other standards, but we need a distinctly Australian boisterous equivalent of The Marseillaise that activates solidarity from the opening bars. Straight boogie works well. All the ratbags could chime in at the appropriate pauses with the legendary vulgar triple epithet. :mrgreen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl6PIuckYBU&feature=fvw Ah, paddy, bellissima! Gaffy, ye of little faith! Armed escorts have already been commissioned to accompany Mr. Millions and his winnings from Flemington come Tuesday. Folklore has it that when bookies see paddy circling the ring on Cup Day, they fall to their knees pleading the well-being of their families and beg him to get laid elsewhere.
