Eulogy for Mellie.

This was posted today by Malcolm Turnbull on his blog. Yes, he's a Lib, but I can't help feeling that he wandered into the wrong party by mistake.

This is very beautiful and moving. I think the man has a soul.

That was a really beautiful tribute to his dog.

I'm pretty sure he took the wrong turn when it came to politics and his natural home should be with the ALP, at least when it comes to social issues. He's so totally out of step with the Neanderthal attitudes of the Abbott opposition, and there's such a stark contrast between him and Abbott. If Turnbull were to get the leadership of the Liberals, and they won from there, at least I'd have some faith that our country won't be driven straight back into the stone-age...
