Constitutional Convention anyone??

[Catherine Driscoll]

Actually as a general issue this is not confined to the US -- but we had 
our 'Constitutional Convention' in Australia and it didn't help. Now we are 
about to enter the year long idiocy which is the Centenary of Federation. 
And it will help even less. But there are interesting people talking about 
the continuing issues around 'federalism' here. That, at least, is less 
boring that I expected, but it won't get much airplay within our 
memorialisation of Federation 1901.

Pleased to see the electoral farce continues over there. Don't disappoint 
me now, I want it to at least make the new year.
