[Leica] the prime minister of where?

Hmmm, that's funny Kyle. Only last week, our Prime Minister was saying what 
a great guy Kyle Cassidy is. You probably get more hits
on your website. 
Still if it was on YouTube it must be true ;-)

Cheers
Hoppy

Don't worry Alastair -- not only do we in American have no idea that your PM 
butted in, we have no idea who he is. I saw a snippit
on YouTube of what appeared to be an Australian comedy show where they had 
some comedian walking around Southern California saying
"Hi, I'm the Prime Minister of Australia, I'm here to support your 
president's position on Turkmenistan." Everybody shook his hand,
got their photos taken with him, was overjoyed to meet a Prime Minister 
(even if they weren't quite sure what a Prime Minister is --
is that like Pope?) and agreed that whatever it was President Bush was 
saying about Turkmenistan was very important and thanks for
backing him up.

To add insult to injury, he then produced a world map that labeled Australia 
as "Iran" in giant letters and had people push a pin
into the country they thought we ought to invade next. People gleefully read 
the letters and stuck their little "Invade Next" pins
into the land down under.

I can only hope they had to go through many hundreds of my countrymen before 
they found a dozen who had no idea where Australia was.
Though I'm sure that's not the case.
