GOOD LUCK WITH THE HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON
Labor fan Kate Pounder announces the Kevin07 Seven Wonders Challenge:
There are seven wonders of the world - can we get a show of support for Kevin07 in front of each one before election day? Let’s call it the Kevin07 Seven Wonders Challenge.
You already did, Kate, possibly without knowing exactly which seven wonders you’re talking about. Never mind; Kevin’s online wizards have seized upon the idea. The occasional local view is offered, too.
Sorry Kate,
A Prime Minister can call an election any time he wants, why should he be bullied by your party? She shows no respect for our system of our government (regardless of party)
I do hope Mr Howard calls for the election in Jan. 08 just to annoy all the Rudster lick my lips t-shirt O7ers.
Oh yes, let’s take up the ‘special kay’ challenge and hope to god I don’t start licking my lips like a lizard.
In comments, they say the Wonders are:
1. Taj Mahal, Agra, India
2. Christ the Redeemer statue, Rio de Janeiro
3. The Colosseum in Rome
4. The Great Wall of China
5. Jordan’s ancient city of Petra
6. The Inca ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru
7. The ancient Maya city of Chichén Itzá in MexicoThey are using this list:

Based on (allegedly) more than 100 million votes. Personally, I prefer the proper list - and getting photos in front of some of them could be tricky.

Ashy can help manipulate the photographs of a liberal supporter going around the world for the special Kay challenge....
BTW, why are they posing in front of structures built with means provided by capitalist endevour? Surely it would be more credible to be pictured in front of 7 edifices reared by the wonders of controlled economies, like any one of a myriad crumbling ferro-cement neo-modernist monuments to the Great Patriotic War/Courageous Workers/Fearless Leader, ditto a decaying stack-a-prole featureless apartment block (which invariably looks like a telephone exchange), some for of transport which can be powered by kerosene, a diesel powered cellphone, a queue for basic necessities, empty poll booths (guarded by hormonally-challenged former shotputers) and perhaps a sunny tropical
gulagre-education centre?I hope they’re getting around by foor or tandem bicycle as well- it’d be so hypocritical to be flying on a carbon-producing tool of globalisation and capitalism.
Roll up for the Seven Wonders ALP Fundraiser Tour. None of that Ancient crap.
Take your pick of the following or get a special Discount for the lot!
•The Great Pyramid Sales ALP T-shirt Geezers
•The Hanging Gardens of Babble-on (nothing to do with death penalty)
•The Temple of Arts which is Effing-well Us
•The Statue of Grassby at Canberra
•The Petro-leum at Mt Panorama
•The Colossus of Roads Sausage Sizzle (in memoriam Russ Hinze)
•The Lesos of Alexandria (& Redfern)There are seven wonders of the world - can we get a show of support for Kevin07 in front of each one before election day?
I hope all that travel is carbon neutral..

Posted by Margos Maid on 2007 10 11 at 01:15 AM • permalinkThis is the character I think of if a Rudd likeness is needed.
Most people in Aus call him the milky bar kid
The thought of Rudd as PM creates 7 wonders all by itself;
I wonder how much more interest I’ll have to repay on my mortgage.
I wonder how much unemployment will rise.
I wonder how much propoganda mileage the Islamists will get from withdrawing our troops from Iraq.
I wonder if he can control Peter Garrett.
I wonder if Julia Gillard will seriously regard herself as a Deputy PM?*
I wonder if strip clubs will get government subsidies?**
I wonder if Rudd will hire me into the bureaucracy that subsidises the strip club industry as an inspector?* Rhetorical question - surely she’s in on the joke (that she is).
** This may have some merit.If only the 7th Wonder of the World was a fast moving Kenworth.

It’s amazing what you can do with Photoshop these days.
I propose a new challenge:
The 7 most disgusting things you can do while wearing a Kevni .07 tee shirt.Just to get the ball rolling:-
1) Photoshop a picture of somebody in a Kevni .07 tee shirt sniffing a camel’s arse.
The 7 most disgusting things you can do while wearing a Kevni .07 tee shirt.

Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 10 11 at 01:45 AM • permalinkWas I sabotaged? #14 should read (although I notice that #18 has now beat me to the punch and I can’t remember what I originally wrote):
I hereby declare that the Anne J on Kate Pounder’s blogsite is not this ann j who has her own set of seven wonders:
1. Wonder how long Kevin is going to last before Julia and the unions gobble him up?
2. Wonder how long the good times in Australia will last if Labor does get in?
3. Wonder why anyone would vote for a party that, with very few exceptions, has so little real talent, copy-cat policies and couldn’t run a chook raffle on a Friday night?
4. Wonder why anyone would want to toss out one of the best governments and PMs this country’s ever seen?
5. Wonder how long before the extent of Brian Burke’s support of Kevni will become public knowledge - and wonder what Brian Burke expects in return for that support?
6. Wonder why a common-sense statement by Kevin Andrews about immigration can be so misconveyed by the media, completely misconstrued and ultimately interpreted as racist?
7. Wonder Kevin Rudd’s flaws are only now becoming apparent to members of the media, and then only to some of them, and how long it will be before the Kevin07 sh-- really hits the fan?
Ha ha fucking ha.
They probably won’t be back in time to register to vote if the election is called while they’re swanning around in their dopey t-shirts.
(Although there’s a lot of merit in what 1.6 says “I do hope Mr Howard calls for the election in Jan. 08 just to annoy all the Rudster lick my lips t-shirt O7ers”.)
#21 Bonmot… where’s that video of the poor elephant poo scooper getting his head stuck.....
#22
Now I’m going to be sick.O/T. Wayne Swan is back for another go on the Daily Telegraph site. Please feel free to ask old Wayney-poo a question or two. It’s fun for the whole family!
Here it isY’all need to put a bit of good ol’ yankee injunooity into this thing.
1. It would be a fantastic idea for the Kevni07ers to show their true commitment by organizing a world “walk around”.
2. Wait for them to get about half way across the Gobi and then call the election.
Didn’t you guys learn anything from our demonstration of the efficacy of manipulating time zones?
If Kevin07 falls down then be on the lookout for Short10.

Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2007 10 11 at 06:07 AM • permalinkOT: aboriginal response to Howard’s offer to hold a referendum on the constitution:
Combined Aboriginal Organisations spokeswoman Olga Havnen says Mr Howard’s new focus on symbolism will not achieve much for Aboriginal people.
“Howard when he first came into office completely castigated us for wanting things that he criticised as being merely symbolic,” she said.
“He said he wasn’t interested in them, he was only interested in doing practical things to improve the well-being of Aboriginal people.
The swine!
Posted by Abu Chowdah on 2007 10 11 at 06:35 AM • permalinkI notice that it’s okay to fly if you’re a Labor voter, but for anyone else it’s off with their heads. Kate Pounder is an idiot: she backs Rudd’s policies on climate change but says elsewhere on her site that she took at least three flights in Iran. She notes with enthusiasm that each flight was only $30. But surely this would only encourage the most destructive behaviour known to man. In solidarity with Kevin07 idiots, I’ll fly 12 hours tonight back to Hong Kong emitting carbon dioxide all the way.
And just for Habib (#6), note Kate’s headwear at that link. At least she’s on the right track.
Great Photoshop work, Colonel (#48).
Honourable mention to Gibbo at #35 for the T-shirt idea, which I am stealing forthwith.
All I need now is to see whether the grubby hippy who does screenprint T shirts at the Sunday markets is more interested in my filthy lucre than his idealogical purity.

O/T, but there may be a tiny upside if Al wins the Nobel Peace Prize. I’ve got a bit all ready to go about the award ceremony, featuring Al, goofy stereotyped scandinavian accents, a cameo appearance by the King of Norway and an unexpected wrinkle in the basis for the award.
#54 Kae, your wish is my command! More to come at Kevin07OhNo.com
#66 Pedro The Ignorant. Back off buddy! Keep your hands where I can see ‘em & back away slowly.
#65 El Cid,
I was going to link to this one, but you beat me to it.Think they need to get their own house in order before lecturing Christians
Here’s all:
Seven Wonders
When shadows fall, he’ll close his eyes
To hear the clocks unwind
Powerless to leash the hands of timeKindoms fall, the earth revolves
The rain will come this spring
And nothing he could say would change a thingSeven wonders crowed the man
Knowing six are gone
And how the great illusion lingers onHe cant enfold, the sun or moon
Or wind within his hand
But count the times he’ll shout the great I amWith all the while, a pontiff smile
Veiling his disgrace
At never owning more than second placeSeven wonders crowed the man
Knowing six are gone
And how the great illusion lingers on[instrumental]
Seven wonders crowed the man
Knowing six are gone
And how the great illusion lingers
While the sad confusion lingers
All the while illusion lingers on

Posted by Mr. Bingley on 2007 10 11 at 05:56 PM • permalink#91 Does Ann Coulter always come across like that? I had the impression she was trying for tongue-in-cheek, but from the transcript it’s impossible to say, especially for one not overly familiar with her writing. Anyway, I doubt she’ll convert many people to Christianity or Republicanism going on the way she did there.

I have no earthly idea, why Ann Coulter says what she does, especially for a seemingly bright person. She is deadly on Leftism, but in many instances, she is just as deadly on Coulterism.
It is obvious she did not read, or if she did, did not comprehend, this book.
The fact that she asked to “clarify” her words, indicates to me that she did realize she stepped in it big time.

Slowly, I have come to realise that one of the (slowly fading) hallmarks of the Anglosphere, namely emotional reserve, has been one of the drivers that has made english speaking nations so successful. I don’t wish to overstate it’s importance, but it is a significant contributor.
I am disgusted by the media’s obsession with manipulating interviews to make victims weep on queue. I fume every time they ask “how do you feel” of a person who has suffered immense personal tragedy.
I also disagree with the current belief that constant, free and shared emotional displays are healthy. Wasn’t too long ago that emotional reserve was an essence of manliness.
Don’t get me wrong, my tears well up in public more than I’d like, but real grief should be a private affair, not an opportunity to be on Oprah.
/Rant.
Finding an Kev .07 supporter with an IQ over 7 would be a wonder!
Posted by curious george on 2007 10 12 at 01:29 AM • permalinkIt reeks of ugly desperation and small-mindedness when a group chooses to attack the personal appearance of someone with differing political views to themselves. Kate is a close friend and I am disgusted with the sort of vicious comments being made about her on this site. If you want to see a rational, civilised and meaningful political election campaign at the Federal level (and I sincerely hope we all do), then you might start by setting a better example on sites like this.
