Party Animal

Izzie was out partying last night. Not the usual piss up in a booze bin but a more sedated sort of event - an auditorium in the State Library to be precise
The previous week the very same venue was host to a forensic pathologist turned anthropologist regaling the audience with appalling stories of death, decay and dissection in Ancient Egypt. A day in the life of an embalmer in a tent without air conditioning must have been rather nasty indeed. Guessing most of them did not live to a ripe old age. Next week will be a feast of Mummies in movies

But last night was dedicated to the upcoming federal election. It was a chance for the folks who are disenchanted with the Coke and Pepsi parties. That was a rather accurate description of the two main contenders.

The alternative drinks included rum provided by the Pirate Party. There was also the Wikileaks party which had an almost identical platform, the Australian Sex Party. Not sure what their drink of choice would be. The old vodka gobbling diehards of the Socialist Alliance were there and the last on the list was the good old fashioned Greens.

It was a very politically correct event so no fun stuff such as One Nation or Palmer’s United Party. There was certainly no Christian Lobbies or Family First would be senators invited to this event

The event was organized by the online activist group Get-up and they had a presenter who looked scarily like John Howard. Guessing that Howard Sattler declined this most desirable of duties due to having a hot date with his hairdresser

Every party speaker got a five minute speech to start followed by a Question and Answers session with replies limited to 30 seconds which turns out to be a lot longer than you would think
