Michael Moore filed a theft complaint with the Lansing City Police today stating that "someone has stolen both the brains AND the sense of humor from the Michigan Republican Party."

If you read the whole article on Micheal Moores site it is really quite funny. The media makes us so very serious sometimes and we forget how to laugh. It's funny when someone thinks of how to turn all this seriousness on its ear. Like Will Anderson, one of our comics who was in the Montreal comedy festival made me think and laugh. He was saying how one of the bombs dropped in Iraq cost 1.5 million dollars(who are these people they can afford to throw away money like that on other people's heads?). Will said he figured that 1.5 million dollars worth of anything thrown from a plane was bound to do a lot of damage...1.5 million dollars worth of fridges or TV sets..whatever. The thing with humour is it makes you realise we are bonkers sometimes the way we behave. Like there's an English guy who has moved over here and we often get birds nesting in the cavity walls or possums in the roof, especially in the country areas. He was saying he thought the birds were some type of Australian insulation. People don't know what to think of Australia if they don't know it. I mean, I was listening to a current affairs programme today and one of the crocodile farmers (yes, we farm them!!) said the current weather conditions, even though they are a bit odd for us at the moment, were perfect for crocodiles. He was saying they were laying up to 70 eggs when normally they would lay 30-50. So I wondered if the wild ones were busy laying too!! He also said you could alter the temperature and get male crocdiles rather than female ones! All very fascinating. Right now it's in the 30s and lovely. No more cold and wet!!
