But, She Promised ...


Tila Tequila, originally uploaded by ddbsweasel.

A bisexual MTV star has been reported as being straight and in a current relationship. This may be a source of disappointment for her fans, and is not the image she is trying to portray, but since when is the image more important than the reality?

Except when the image is not entertainment, but political. Mr Rudd approached the recent federal election holding mirrors and blowing smoke. He was aided in his quest by media and unions, as was to be expected, but also by a few other curious stable mates.

Woolworths has recently come under fire as being monopolistic. Woolworths and Coles have been alleged to have colluded to prevent profits from fresh produce from returning to farmers. Woolworths has long opposed Conservative policy, as with their ongoing 'Rollback' campaign which began about the time of GST debate beginning and ALP Rollback promises regarding the GST.

Telstra, which owes its existence as a commercial entity has opposed government regulation, and so supported the ALP. Telstra has a history of releasing reports questioning government policy around election time.

Murdoch has long opposed Conservative administration, from the time he demanded the sacking of Gortyn for an incompetent McMahon who bequeathed Fraser and gave us Whitlam, through to the recent courting of Rudd and refusal to distinguish between policy .. as if it was hard to tell the difference between the union vandals and conservative policy.

Tila's image may not be a wholesome one, but then neither is Rudd's.

There are many truths in this world. Some of them appear to oppose each other. Howard was right to stay on, and might have won the election. Costello was right to say that he might have won the election had he had the top job.
The election was not won by the ALP because of the Conservative power structure. The election was won by the ALP on a series of promises and smoke and mirrors. When the ALP were reduced to a cricket team after the abysmal leadership of Keating, having only NSW around Australia, they had an opportunity to reform. They failed. The problems Rudd will have in government, and keeping government relate to the failure the ALP made in separating from the union movement.
It isn't important that the ALP not cooperate with the union movement, such a suggestion is wrong and devalues ALP history. But, the ALP is owned by the union movement, and that will compromise the ALP's ability to act on behalf of its constituents without being corrupted.
Costello is right about his leadership aspirations. But Howard was also the right man for the job too. Sadly, too many people only saw smoke and mirrors.

Report: 'Bisexual' MTV Star Tila Tequila Is Straight

From foxnews
Self-proclaimed bisexual MTV star Tila Tequila may actually be stick-straight.
Tequila, who stars in "A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila," a show about her search for the perfect mate, male or female, is not bisexual and it's "all a sham," a source close to the show told the New York Post's Page Six gossip column.
"Tila has and has had a boyfriend for over a year, and she's not really bi. She's made out with some girls in her past, as all girls have, but she is not bi at all," the source said.
The insider claims that MTV works hard to pretend she's single and available because she refuses to break up with her boyfriend, "who's like five years older than her. This is a massive scam ... That's why they are not continuing with the show [for a second season], because she won't dump him."
Tequila has also been acting like "a diva" and become a "nightmare to work with," said the source.

"She arrives late and doesn't talk to any of the contestants between takes. She complains she has too much going on."
A rep for Tequila told Page Six, "I'll confirm that she's bisexual and she's a delight to work with."
