Apparently GrodsCorp is “Australia’s hard left,” according to some hard right website. “Left” I’ll accept but I reckon “hard left” is a bit, well, harsh. (Not that I believe in the false left/right dichotomy anyway.)
I’m not very hard; I’m soft as hell. Ant and John are the very opposite of hard. And I’ve never met Bridgit so I can only speculate as to her hardness or otherwise. I mean, we’re so soft that we can’t drink lattes after midday or else we can’t sleep at night. We’re so soft that we put a dash of lemonade in our expensive imported lagers. We’re so soft that if a cafe only has white supermarket bread for our sandwich and nothing with rye in it we cry.
Apparently we’re also “like some kind of a Gollum with a prize” because we’re gloating over Kevin Rudd’s victory. That insult conjours an awesome image in my mind so it’s okay. (Not to mention that it’s utterly true.)

He hasss a latte. Gives it to meeeee! My precioussssss.
