HOWARD'S FORGETTABLE WAY MOVIE

Just as Baz Luhrmann changed his epic film Australia from a sad to a happy ending , the ABC has decided to radically change the name of its TV series, The Howard Years. It is now The Alzheimer Years because so many ex -ministers in the first two parts could not recall being briefed, having telephone calls or discussing vital issues.

Apart from giggling like schoolgirls with jolly hockey sticks at times, some key players in the Howard Government, sadly, seemed to be showing early signs of dementia. Lefty viewers were cruel enough to suggest consumption of the clumsy drug, sniffing of nitrous oxide or an alcopops binge was responsible for the loss of memory.

Little Darwin can reveal that in the next part of the series President Bush will announce that he secretly made John Howard an honorary Texas Ranger . The President will also shock the literary world when he leaves the White House , via the backdoor, and takes up the post as editor in chief of Webster’s Dictionary . Naturally, he will continue his patronage of the Willy Lump Lump Association of America and the Northern Territory.
