Illinois gives Rod the boot

Maybe I've been spending too much time focusing on Australian politics, but I can't understand why the Illinois Senate impeached Governor Rod Blagojevich. It seems to me that he did a fine job respecting and continuing the state's long and distinguished reputation for corruption.

Strip clubs in Sydney

My flat here in Sydney is next to the red light district, which I need to walk through each day to get to and from the train. Some of the clubs have names like "World's Greatest Love Machine" or "The Pleasure Chest" but one is just simply called "Strippers."
