I wonder if our Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd (sometimes abbreviated to
KRudd) received that treatment when he arrived the other day to attend
the meeting of top 20 economies in Washington.  He had been accused
here of making slighting remarks about your present leader.

So corn is being wasted by feeding to you.  Better give it to the cows
- first.  Then feed you the cows.
 
Did you hear about the Qantas A330 the other day which was flying
peacefully over the NW of Australia when its controlling computer had a
brain fart and caused it to suddenly dive?  The pilots straightened it
out, but then it happened again.  Some 14 passengers were later treated
for injuries. The scary part is that the cause is still unknown, and
those planes are still flying.  It has been suggested that
transmissions from a nearby powerful Defence radar, or a passenger's
electronic device may have been responsible.  The pilots have been
instructed what to do if it happens again.  Having had occasional
scares in the past, I *always* keep my seatbelt done up.
