Remember those toys kids have where you pull the string and they come up with random phrases that are totally out of context? We should get a John Brumby doll. This is from yesterday's Melbourne Age:
"Asked if he was attracted to Sir Rod's call for "a generational leap forward in Melbourne's rail capacity" and the creation of a Paris-style "metro" underground rail network, Mr Brumby said:
"I am categorically in the business of making the right decisions now to secure the long-term future of the state."
I don't know what that means. I don't know if John Brumby knows what it means. The journalist who wrote the story obviously doesn't know what it means. Why print it? Why give it space? There's people out there who now think that John Brumby is in control. But of what? This statement could have been part of any conversation about anything anywhere.
Think! Please!

A friend who works in the DHS told me he struggles to watch the Hollowmen as it is too close to the truth to be properly funny. Brumby's sentence is a wonderful example.
