Labor recruit Mia Handshin – an impressive and competent candidate whom we’ve met before – thanks her hosts following some sort of Molokai retreat:
Hi all you magnificent souls,
Just want to send a twinkling smile your way in appreciation of the special part you play in my almost daily memory of our time on Molokai. You all dance in my mind each time I sit in my meditation space and see the photo I have there of my favourite spot at the Hui. It offers a beautiful reminder to keep my heart as open as it was during that week we shared.
I am moving closer to my wedding now and I want you to know that you have been magnificent, vibrant threads in the tapestry of blessings that I will take with me into my marriage and next stage of my life. I will be sure to send you all a photo of my special day.
In the meantime if you want to catch a glimpse of some of my work, you could log onto http://www.adelaidenow.com.au. This is the official website of the daily newspaper in South Australia that I have written for for over 9 years. I am now doing freelance work online including writing a blog and compiling pod casts. My latest creation is called a Chain of Pods- an ongoing series of six interviews in which each interviewee recommends the next in the chain.
Lots of love and many blessings to you all,
Mia
Her maiden speech to Parliament will be sensational.
- yesterday i suggested a more appropriate surname would be footmouth, but today i reckon she should change her name to fairyfloss moonbeam chakraPosted by KK on 2007 05 02 at 08:27 AM • permalink

- Just want to send a twinkling smile your way . . . What a unique thank-you gift: a set of dentures (one size fits all?).
You all dance in my mind each time I sit in my meditation space . . . I confess that whenever I sit in my meditation space, I’m usually too busy reading a magazine to conjure up visions of new age sprites tripping the light fantastic.
I will be sure to send you all a photo of my special day . . . Sure to be one of those classy affairs.
- That would be funnier than the time my apple cheeked old Granny caught her tits in the wringer except for the fact that this fucking mungbean has been parachuted into an ALP winnable seat in the Federal Parliament.
While I recognise that South Australia is full of serial killers, globe trotting jihadis, and the bogan descendants of ten quid tourists, surely they can’t all be dumb enough to actually elect this bimbo, can they?
Reassure me, people.

- Pedro, Natasha Stott Despoja was on the same wavelength only with her it was Doc Martens and Smashing Pumpkins. That’s South Australia, there’s nothing we can do about it.
And before you say that Natasha was a Democrat, I beg to differ. Early on in her political career she mentioned in an interview that Gough Whitlam is/was her political hero. I expected her to say Don Chipp or even Janine Haines.
- #20 Speaking of Tash, apparently she’s going to be on The Catch Up in the next day or so. Unless I missed her this arvo.
Bleh.

- Do you realize this is the second statement of hers published that contains not one word of actual content? It’s reminiscent of Chuck Jones’ story about his dad’s opinion of Warren G. Harding’s speeches: “a hippopotamus wallowing in molasses…”Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 05 02 at 09:57 AM • permalink
- OT, this is too good not to share. In this article about developing nations reducing their emissions growth (note: they haven’t reduced their emissions, only the rate at which they’ve increased), guess which policy that has been quite successful at reducing emissions?
Poor nations brake greenhouse gas rise: U.N. draft
China’s one-child per couple policy introduced in the early 1980s, for instance, had a side-effect of braking global warming by limiting the population to 1.3 billion against a projected 1.6 billion without the policy.
I bet all the green whackjobs are taking notes with approval…

- #23 Perhaps those green whackjobs are members of The Church of Euthanasia:
The Church of Euthanasia was inspired by a dream, in which Rev. Chris Korda confronted an alien intelligence known as The Being who speaks for the inhabitants of Earth in other dimensions. The Being warned that our planet’s ecosystem is failing, and that our leaders deny this. The Being asked why our leaders lie to us, and why so many of us believe these lies. Rev. Korda awoke from the dream moaning the Church’s infamous slogan, Save the Planet – Kill Yourself.
Not even Mia can top that nuttiness!

- What I want to know is who sold Mia her carbon offsets so she could fly in a big honking jet airliner to Hawaii, er, sorry, that’s “journey to a far-away island and spend a week in a retreat program dedicated to authentic living”.Posted by Mr. Bingley on 2007 05 02 at 10:58 AM • permalink
- Here are some tough questions I’d like to see put to Mana Mia:
How will Mana guide you in your day to day life as a member of parliament?
What role should Mana play in micro-economic reform?
How do you think political debate would be improved if both sides of politics embraced their mana?
Please rate the following on their mana quotient: Michael Leunig, Toni Collette, Angelina Jolie, Brittany Spears, Russell Crowe, John Howard.
What advice would you give to these people to improve their mana?
Is lack of mana the cause of all the suffering in the world today?
What is mana, anyway?Posted by daddy dave on 2007 05 02 at 11:16 AM • permalink
- #22, Richard,
First off, love the quote. It’s funny ‘cause it’s true.For there to be actual content, there must first be actual thought. This is impossible when you use words as though they had no referent in reality, and emotions as elements of cognition.
Is there really a possibility that this warp in the fabric of the universe has a chance to be elected? Really truly?

Of the honeymoon as well, you know all those things you lovely smiling beasts, taught me. It felt so good. Especially the one when you turned me over, remember, you called it the fudgesicle.
- Q. Why did the hockey game in the leper’s colony get called off short?
A. They had a face off in the corner.

- My latest creation is called a Chain of Pods.
Hmmm. We are born Pods but are everywhere in Chains?
My favourite spot at the Hui
A Hui is some sort of helicopter, I think.
Look up her site if you Molokaians have fast broadband, unlike us poor Aussies who have (I’m told) only Narrowband. We’re so impoverished we’ll have to elect that nice youngish ALP team to set things right.

Why, Murdoch, of course. Who else?

Q.How do you get instant skeleton?

- From Planet Mia in Hawaii:
“you can appreciate a new freedom. You find there is permission to explore, stretch into, and grow new parts of yourself… take off the masks you wear revealing who you are takes courage, but the risk is minimized …
The safety net expands …. speaking of your dreams and sharing your passion. In this depth of pure listening …
Now that’s what they need in Baghdad.
Why not start a retreat there?
- I wish her the very best in her upcoming marriage.
Such shiny, happy, new-age podpeople are so insulated from Reality that even I, heartless Right Wing Death B*tch that I am, actually feel sorry for her.
Not for long though, and I wouldn’t give her more responsibility than being a relief Kindergarten teacher. We need grown-ups in politics, not flower children like her.
