As I heard the news of the demise of the Right-wing Coalition in the Polish Elections I wondered if the fall of yet another of Bush's allies was a bad omen for John Howard, whose Australian coalition faces the voters on November 24.

A man goes up to heaven and is greeted warmly by St. Peter at The Pearly Gates.
Peter welcomes the newcomer and they sart a friendly chat.
"Why don't I show you around heaven?" peter says.
The newcomer welcomes the help.
As he wanders around heaven he is surprised by the number of clocks.
Wherever he goes there are more and more clocks.
The newcomer to heaven puzzled, asks Pete about the clocks
"O" says peter, "Each clock represents a person on earth and every time someone lies the minute hand moves !`"
"Look here is Mother Teresa's the hands have never moved; and here is Nelson Mandella's the hand has only moved once." says St. Peter
The newcomer delighted, spends the rest of the day looking at all his living friends and relations.
Catching up with peter after a fun day he says "Great Pete, but I couldn't find Australian Prime Minister John Howard's clock anywhere."
"O sorry" says Peter,
"God's office gets very stuffy and he uses it as a ceiling fan!"
