things would be a lot better.

Koalas can be mean little things. And check out those claws. A koala will mess your day up.

At the least it'll smear peppermint-scented poop all over your tailored suit jacket.

Just like dogs!

Putin looks happy, though. Probably wondering where to put a koala skin rug in the dacha.

Like he's thinking, "I've got you now, my pretty, bwahahaha!"

vote to ban the immigration of Koalas. And deport all Koalas back to Mexico. And to permit police to search their pouches without a warrant.

Koalas sense who's a good guy and who's not, when Harper held one, it did the same as the one Putin is holding.

President Obama is having an excellent trip, here's a headline that says a lot, imo:

G20 summit: U.S., EU override Australia to put climate change on agenda

The G20 communique will include a significant passage on climate change, EU officials said on Sunday, as the United States and other heavyweight nations override host Australia's attempts to keep the issue off the formal agenda.

That is something of an embarrassment for Australia, which had argued it was not a clear economic issue and so should not be discussed at the G20. Indeed, Prime Minister Tony Abbott has questioned the science behind climate change.

The U.S. and Europe led the push to have climate change discussed at the meeting, with Obama using a speech on Saturday to warn that Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef was under threat.

Harper sided with Abbott trying to keep climate change off the agenda, no surprise as he is Canada's climate change denier-in-chief.

Nice

And knew just where they'd be appreciated

Can't you kind of see his soul? No? Not even a little?

That's a quote from a former ALP politician who wasn't fond of them. He forgot to mention that most of them have chlamydia.

Anyway, trust Abbott to delegate that promised shirt-fronting of Putin to a koala...
