Coming soon?
It's seems Australian Prime minister John Howard has jumped on the redneck bandwagon of paranoia and fear by implementing some new anti-terror laws. Apparently the laws contain increased police powers to search homes and detain "suspects" indefinitely without trial. Now I realise there are some obvious humanitarian issues here, but in all honesty, does anyone have any reason to fear a household cleaning product? Surely anyone can see the clear resemblance in the photos above -- one nicked from a news story somewhere, and the other on a can of Mr Sheen. Did Mr Howard change his name by deed poll, I wonder? My advice to Mr Howard/Sheen -- stop trying to look like the tough guy with fascist laws like these, after years marketing yourself as a cleaning product, you're fooling nobody.
In other news, tomorrow I'm riding The Wonders of Glorious Mee in Brisbane. 212km with over 3,000 metres of climbing to play with. It's not expected to be as hot as in previous years (they're only forecasting 26 degrees C tomorrow). If that turns out to be the case, I might just attack Mt Mee. It's the hardest climb of the day, but I have some old scores to settle from previous editions of this ride when it's hit 39 degrees C on that climb in the past. Roll on.
Don't let the sadness of your past and the fear of your future ruin the happiness of your present.
