After 11 years I'm finally relaxed and comfortable.
I awoke a half hour early this morning, without the usual AAARGH, FUCK YOU!!! that normally accompanies a work related interruption of my beauty sleep.
The morning air smells better than it did last week.
The morning coffee tastes better than it did last week.
That son of a bitch is gone.
Just writing that line, just thinking it isn't enough. That slimy, short arsed, mean spirited cunt who has been the Prime Minister for my entire adult life and that of my friends is finally out of the picture. This will take weeks to set in.
Not that I think Labor is particularly good, but that's still better then inexplicably, irreconcilably reprehensible.
Howard could have been a responsible economic manager without obviously hating the poor. He could have been strong on national security without being George Bush's pathetic, clingy schoolyard patsy.
His was a government of fear. Fear of aboriginals getting too many rights, fear of the poofters getting married, fear of unions. It worked for long enough, but eventually people figure out that the bogey man isn't coming and that they've been lied to.
Howard did nothing to contribute to the resources boom, but he did squander the prosperity. This a time where Australia is in a better position than ever to invest big in solving problems like climate change, a skills shortage shameful living conditions for indigenous people. Instead all we have to show for such a collosal cash loaf is a few plasma TVs and a housing affordability crisis.
We're supposed to be one of the wealthiest countries in the world and enjoying unprecedented economic growth, yet it is now harder for a middle income family to have kids at uni now than it has been for almost 40 years.
I think this is where we're supposed to start applauding the old bastard.
Indeed I am applauding, because he suffered a humiliation on Saturday that he so richly deserved.
Have fun on the golf course, cuntface.
