Day 13- Shhhhhh....

Readers, I've tried. All day there have been notes. Collation of funny images. An eagle eye tuned to these narcotic 24hr news services we are just so lucky to have in this country. But today, after the excitement of yesterday, I have nothing. Law and order? Knuckledusters and knives? Sure, there's a good gag to be had with our fresh PM actually saying, out loud, that 'no-one should be walking around with a knife...' *cue sideways look to camera, raised eyebrow, cutaway to Mark Arbib and Bill Shorten, etc*, but seriously. This small target bullshit is.... bullshit.

Best lines of the day, and perhaps of the last 13 days, come from John Keane's interview on PM. Keane is the author of The Life and Death of Democracy, one of those vast books that sit on my shelf mocking me (Yes, I will read you, one day. But for the moment I'm in the middle of a life, alright?). His take on this being a supermarket election is right on. Have a listen.

Maybe there'll be something affecting the future of the nation offered tomorrow. Something beyond the marginals, something untested by a billion focus groups. Maybe. In the meantime, once you're done with Keane, go for Clarke and Dawe. Do so reasonably quickly. Bless them.
