Also, Why is the Byline "Sydney"?
From a NYTimes piece:
My question is, in what sense was John Howard "one of President Bush's staunchest allies in Asia"? He was the prime minister of Australia, which is not in Asia. Is it that, when he was traveling in Asia, he was one of Bush's staunchest allies there? By that standard, of course, one could say the same thing about Tony Blair, Jose Maria Aznar, or Hugo Chavez.
[UPDATE: I swear I had not read far enough in the article to see that it specifically mentions Blair and Aznar. And yes, this means I had read about two paragraphs. And yes, I'm mildly bitter that the New York Times stepped on my joke.]
Australia’s prime minister, John Howard, one of President Bush’s staunchest allies in Asia, suffered a comprehensive defeat at the hands of the electorate on Saturday, as his Liberal Party-led coalition lost its majority in Parliament.

The other point is that when a problem comes up with
a pc motherboard, persons should not go ahead and take risk with repairing that
themselves because if it is not done right it can lead to permanent damage to the complete laptop.
It is usually safe just to approach the dealer of that
laptop for that repair of motherboard. They've already technicians who definitely have an know-how in dealing with laptop computer motherboard troubles and can get the right prognosis and execute repairs.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to
see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she
can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has
83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it
with someone!
