assault Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Australia has a minority government at the moment. Shenanigans are ensuing. Medical evacuation bill passes the Senate by 36 votes to 34 The government was defeated on the ‘medivac’ bill, but that does not mean the end of the government Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Can't happen. Spacecraft only get named after folks who are dead. Betty White can't die, therefore, no spacecraft for her. QED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 As an oppressive overlord who cannot be gainsaid, I tend to view her like I think about the Emperor in Warhammer 40000.

Badger Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Hmm, well, I guess I have to be the Ewok devil, then.
