I have not been posting much of late, not so much due to being busy but more to do with not having much to post about. I have also been dealing with a very bad cold for a couple of weeks. The weather is not pleasant, for the first time in years it has rained for weeks on end. Only a couple of days have not had rain for about 3 weeks, its very weird after coping with a drought with 10 years. I have attached a photo to this post (click to enlarge) showing the view from the house over Corio Bay after a bit of rain. 4 Months ago the grass was near death and totally sun burnt.

It is bitterly cold, at time of writing it is just after 3.30pm and 10°c (50°F) which is quite warm compared to the 6°c-9°c we have had lately. Along with the cold, thee is the rain and the ice cold wind which pierces your ears. After coming from a very hot summer into this, you really notice it. My perfect weather would be 17°c (57°F) cool and sunny, you have a average temperature along with the warm sun making it perfect in my opinion.

This week on The Ploy with Ben and Mike, Ellen from the left-leaning media watchdog group Newshounds.us joined Paul Tevis and myself to talk Fox News. Is it really fair and balanced? Take a listen it is quite a interesting interview.

The survey by the American Research Group found that 45 percent support the US House of Representatives beginning impeachment proceedings against Bush, with 46 percent opposed, and a 54-40 split in favor when it comes to Cheney. Just two US presidents have been impeached: Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 and acquitted in 1999; Andrew Johnson was impeached and acquitted in 1868. Disgraced president Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 when a House impeachment vote appeared likely. But Democratic leaders appear unlikely to pursue such a course.
