“Coon & Goon”

The Australians don’t really go for this political correctness lark. To illustrate this, I present a poster for the Scary Canary’s (the Base hostel bar) celebration of Barack Obama’s inauguration.

Brilliant!

For those who don’t know, Coon is a brand of Australian cheese (I still laugh when I see it in the supermarket!), and Goon is disgustingly cheap wine, usually sold in 4 litre bags. Great stuff!

President Barack Obama

I’ve purposely avoided writing about politics on here because I don’t want this to be a “political” blog, but I felt I should mention Barack Obama winning the US election today for the sole reason that it may be the most important political event to occur in my lifetime.

(Personally, I quite like Barack Obama. After 8 years of George W. Bush, any change can only be good. Hopefully…)
