It's like a parallel universe, which is often how I think of the Typosphere. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120715572940256008.post-59543978364124802342014-05-07T20:38:55.195-07:002014-05-07T20:38:55.195-07:00Wow and wow!

I feel like I was just slingshot through history and then after my head was inverted and dumped out, whipped back around through an amusement park ride (mr Messenger's place).

Gary McDonald later felt some kind of regret about that, and has some very interesting stories to tell about it. Nice find. <br /><br />Steve, it absolutely is. This supposedly happened prior to the caucus meeting where Whitlam announced to the party that he wasn't going to challenge the dismissal. So it came about 20 minutes before that speech to my knowledge, but everyone knew what was going on. <br /><br />Interesting to see Hawke there.
