"All-bloke fan base?"  I resent that!  Oh, wait, he must have confused
MO with Magnus's favorite band Fuck-Fuck-Nickelfuck.  On the other hand,
it's not so bad being ignored by guys like him.  If he had noticed us
mere females, he would have accused us of being fans of Rob's good looks
rather than of the music!

The ageism thing is puzzling.  Who in their right mind would think
someone is unfit for politics simply because he's almost 50?  I never
did see a transcript of the Lomberg interview, so I don't know what kind
of stats were cited there, but I remain suspicious of Lomberg's agenda
in general, so pardon me if I fail to take Blair's word for it.

This dude has some serious self-image issues IMHO.......and hasn't done
the simplest work required of a journalist if he thinks MO have been
irrelevant and that this will be PG's "entry" into politics. Even people
who continue to view the Oils as "shit-stirring buggers" know better-

PS so glad to hear about the rain, here's hoping for lots more!

Subject: [Powderworks] unsupportive article in the australian

I don't remember if this already has been mentioned, but here is a VERY
unsupportive opinion about Peter going into politics by some airhead
called Tim Blair (published in The Australian, dec 5). In fact, it's
very unsupportive of the oils in general... Not nice reading at all.
