Fiery New Brands for Aussie politics

Film Review of Kiss and Tell: Shirley Temple in 1945 War Time Comedy About a Sixteen Year Old
Mira, Shirley Temple made entertaining films, as a child, as a teen-ager, and as a young adult. It's fun to see her grow up on the screen. I'm happy that you're appreciating my tributes to Shirley.

Fiery New Brands for Aussie politics
Australia is the lucky country. We do get all the normal things, like crime and crazies. But there are subtle differences between countries that are on the surface look alike.
For example the US and Australia. Australia doesn't have the ...

Downright Odd Behavior by U.S. Presidents
Bushu-sure. I like it! I also recall reading somewhere that Woodrow Wilson used to go to sleep every afternoon with his feet on the Oval Office desk. I can only dream of being able to pull that stunt!

How Scotland was Forced into Union with England
Let me make my point clear. I am not advocating that the UK hangs on to the pound yet forbids Scotland to do so, but that if independence happens, the currency splits into two, with the UK establishing a new pound [worth exactly the old one] and ...

How Scotland was Forced into Union with England
I don't think that Westminster is bullying when it says that a currency cannot be shared, as the UK does not share its currency with the EC or any other independent state, so why with an independent Scotland? If Scotland leaves the union it ...

Film Review of Kiss and Tell: Shirley Temple in 1945 War Time Comedy About a Sixteen Year Old
This sounds like a fun movie. I'd love to see teenagers romping about in 1945 :-) Pretty soon, I'll have time to watch all these Shirley Temple films. Thanks for bringing them to our attention. It's really a grand idea :)

Ngwayir (Pseudocheirus peregrinus occidentalis): Ringtail Possum of West Australia
Wow, I can't imagine when you have time to do all the research, but it's fun to learn about all these mammals. I love that they relocated this ringtail possum to that national park in SW Australia. Also love the way it eats carrots :)
