162 / The dust has settled, the fog has lifted - I happily settle into my seat on the fence

It's an exciting time to be a part of the on-the-fence-sitting, pollie-watching commentariat; our democracy has thrown up a wonderful bunch of Greens and Independents to entice the Lefties and the Righties into a new deal: They may even be forced to talk to one another.

Can't wait to see Gillard and Co. get to work while having to consider others than the party machine … to see Brown & Greens turn them red & blue in frustration! Yeah, great times ahead!
