SYDNEY, Australia - "Labor Party leader Kevin Rudd swept to power in Australian elections Saturday, ending an 11-year conservative era and promising major changes to policies on global warming and his country's role in the Iraq war
"The win marked a humiliating end to the career of outgoing Prime Minister John Howard, who became Australia's second-longest serving leader -- and who had appeared almost unassailable as little as a year ago."
The Winner, Kevin Rudd.

Hooray hooray hooray! I'll add that John Howard (aka W's deputy sheriff)looks like he's lost his own seat to boot. The only one other time an Australian prime minister lost his seat in an election was in 1929 just after the stock market crashed. I'm feeling a bit under the weather today - self-inflicted - but it's all sunny skies and rainbows!
Irene and Tony:
Congratulations. This is something you really worked for.
And, in the same week, you got news that Teresa and I were coming to visit. It couldn't be much better for you (heh, heh).
