I was thinking the same thing as I posted this LL.

It's becoming a standing joke. You'd think he would just get on with it just to stop the embarrassment.

was disappointed, show didn't scope out more variety of issues, when it got the chance.

krauss oughta' learn some flamin' manners for the views of the other guests, the hour's not there to be just a platform for 'im to expound 'is own views.

show should get an extra half hour run time, hour's never long enough.

tomorrow night with bill gates could be worth the watch

Speaking of Bill Gates

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/opinion/i-hope-you-aussies-are-proud-of-yourselves-because-i-am/story-fni0cwl5-1226651604097

I'M a big fan of charts and graphs. A simple line can tell a powerful story. For instance, if you look at the curve representing Australia's foreign aid budget, you see clearly that your country has turned itself into a global leader in foreign development in the past few years.

In 2009, when the global financial crisis hit, many key aid donors started flatlining their spending.

Australia, on the other hand, started to speed up its already steady rate of increase in foreign aid.

I know the budget has been a big topic of debate in recent weeks.

I am relieved your government decided to keep making progress toward its pledge to invest 0.5 per cent of gross national income on aid.

I hope Australia will reach that target as quickly as possible, and that you'll continue to focus your spending on programs that fight poverty overseas.

I say this because improving the health and productivity of the poorest is one of the best investments you can make in the future of the world and the future of Australia.

Relatively modest investments in development can have a big impact when they're done strategically.

Take the example of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. Created just over a decade ago, the fund pools money from many donors, including Australia, to prevent and treat deadly diseases at an enormous scale and significantly reduced costs.

1015 days since the rabbit has been on Q&A. Is he a rabbit? Or just plain chicken?:-p

One reason is that an earpiece (ie. a line direct from credlin) would be obvious in his ear.

Watching it on the website right now.

So there's a gay bishop there. Does it really matter what sexual orientation bishops are?? They can to repress their sexual needs anyways. So kind of pointless.

What do you mean "repress" - if they are Protestant they don't have to repress anything. I bet the Catholics are jealous...
