He's gone!!!

We went to Ginny's office, where Joe had chalked a mean stats board.

Election night, 2007 - the office

Then we went to Sally and Jonathan's Election night, 2007 - the t-shirt

and ate cake.

Election night, 2007 - the cake

Chong gave me a badge. It's Time

Then we won and the pinata came out.

Election night, 2007 - the pinata

Election night, 2007 - the beating

I didn't think it was possible to have Geelong win a grand final and Howard lose office and his SEAT in one year. Oh joy. I wish I liked Rudd more - but I'll worry about that tomorrow. For tonight I rejoice. We've finally got rid of the fucker.
