US Vice Presidential Frugality
From the ABC website:
I can only say how grateful I am that Mrs Whitey doesn't agree with this definition of frugality.
Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin insists she is a "frugal" spender, and has denied having a $US150,000 Republican Party clothes budget for her and her family for the White House campaign.
"If people only knew how frugal we are," she said, after political ethics campaigners lodged a formal complaint over the Republican National Committee's (RNC) expenditures, which were first reported this week.

Les Lees update
Just browsing through the programme for the Hobart Show and I noticed an advertisement for Les Lees that features a new logo. Very exciting.
I googled to try and find an image of this to show everyone and I couldn't find one but I was amazed to discover there is now a www.leslees.com.au website, but unfortunately it is under construction. I will have to check back every day to see when it is up and running.
I did find a five star review of Les Lees on www.truelocal.com.au:
Great to see the rest of the community supporting this great business.

They didn't just want to fit your clothes, they wanted to take you all the way to the event. It was a really nice change. Top service, over and above what was required!

Government handouts
Good to see the Commonwealth Government handing out billions of dollars - keep it coming my way.
However, I was very disappointed to see that the State Government has put a freeze on recruiting new public servants.
We have been flat out for the past few weeks. With planning meetings for the AFL grand final office activities and now advance preparations for the Melbourne Cup it has been a real stretch. Our tea lady hasn't been replaced since July and now it looks like we will be waiting forever.
The amount of time I spend getting a cup of tea is really cutting into my productivity.
