Roomatoid elephantasia

There’s something about my previous post, “Sickness endemic”, that in fact inflames my own sick, sick sickness.

For this malady, I propose the name roomatoid elephantasia — an anxiety about elephants, whether real or imagined, in claustrophobic rooms.

I think... yes, the elephant in this particular room is our Mr Howard’s obvious contempt for the Australian people.

This being manifest in the PM’s astonishingly arrogant assumption that the anti-US sentiment abroad among Australians is due to their “weariness” about a war that — as it so happens, Mr Howard — most of them didn’t want in the first place.

Brrrr... maybe it’ll pass.
