Why can't I write Fox News-style headlines and stories on an Australian blog? I can, and I will.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, or Krudd as he is covertly known by the 'wired-up' generation who are champing at the bit to sit on death panels to weed and cull the ranks of future national wealth-absorbing Baby Boomers (unless a Liberal Party government wins the early 2010 elections and John Howard returns, Menzies-style, to shepherd them into senility) is now inviting the digitally-enhanced hordes of Generation Y to help him design future Labor policy.
It's true! The most nightmarish future fear of all Baby Boomers has already come spine-chillingly true. Goths & Emos are deciding how to run the country.
If you were Prime Minister for a day - what would you do to :
- help our young people grow up safe, happy and resililient
- give young people the skills they need to learn, work and fully engage in community life ?
- reduce the physical and mental health risks facing young Australians, including negative body image, anxiety and depression, obesity and alcohol-fuelled violence?
- enable young people to accept responsibility for their actions and their behaviours?
- help young people to negotiate the challenges of today's society?
Wait....resililient? R-E-S-I-L-I-L-I-L-I-E-N-T?
Yes.
How can Kevin Rudd run the country when he can't even master SpellCheck? If what the Liberal Party is saying is true about what the K Rudd Krew is doing to this nation (and let's face it, when have The Liberals ever lied [?]), the Goths & Emos probably can't do any worse.
But maybe the prime minister himself didn't write that piece on his blog today. Maybe it was a staffer? Maybe Krudd's emo-advisor?
Nope.
The prime minister is already sending people scurrying for their dictionaries (or as the digital youth call them "those word things") on a near daily basis without him going and making up words.
Even quite catchy words like Resililient.
UPDATE : On Twitter, I tried to blackmail the prime minister using the screencap of his misspelling of 'resilient'....
...but I decided instead to go pubilc with it fro the glood of th natoin.
