Zip it

I’ve gone off the election with is suppository of knowledge, its Daggy dad statements, baby kissing, factory swanning, creation of new countries and reinventions of Judaism. 

 But I do like The Roast. I can get a snappy take on the day’s events with a good smattering of ironic joviality without the turgid trawling over minutiae from the regular media.  

Does that mean I am becoming one of the Twitterati with an attention span of 140 characters?

A fresh approach is always good and they say everything comes back, but it comes back different. So I have a suggestion. Could we cover the election through a series of Dorothy Dix letters?

Here are a couple to start: 

Dear Dorothy

 I am thinking of planning and overseas holiday and have run in to trouble.

 I have been trying to find the airline that flies into Islam, but agents look at me in confusion and the Virgin  and Qantas sites just crash and can’t answer the question.

Please explain

 One Nation Candidate :)

Dear Dorothy

 Can you tell me the six points of our Liberal party six point plan for fixing Australia. I seem to have forgotten them.

Bunny in the headlights

Liberal Candidate, Greenway

Dear Dorothy

I can't understand why the nation is not fascinated with my Titanic vision, and won't come on board. The electorate is decidedly icy. Can you help me swim against the tide?

Signed

Looking forward, looking back

Palmer United Party

Dear Dorothy

If I continue to say Stop the Boats will it become a self-fulfilling policy? I have expanded my repertoire to include: And the Boats will stop, and promised to cut the number of arrivals to three shortly after my imminent election. Should I be nervous?

Dear Dorothy

Is it negative to be positive?

Gotta zip
