US election update

Jon Ossoff, an American documentary film-maker and former political aide is the Democratic candidate for Georgia's 6th congressional district which will take place on the 20th June. Ossoff has created some serious waves and even incurred the wrath of President Donald Trump (which isn't that hard) given he picked up 48.1% of the vote in an election that was predicted a few months ago to be easily won by Republican candidate Karen Handel. As neither candidate got a majority vote they will compete in a run-off vote this month.

And a little known fact- Ossof is also half-Australian. His mother Helen Fenton (pictured with Jon) hails from Sydney and emigrated to the US where she married Thomas Ossoff with the couple settling in Georgia where Jon was born. As an investigative journalist Jon has exposed human traffickers, been responsible for taking down dozens of international corrupt politicians and has exposed ISIL atrocities in Iraq. He makes a formidable opponent as can be seen in this debate 3 days ago. It's that Aussie spirit !

Popbitch bloopers

We can't be too hard on the internet gossipy website Popbitch which can be a lot of fun at times although we get slightly irritated with what seems an obsession with bodily functions and the size or otherwise of "celebrity" private parts. After all Whispers has supplied them with the odd snippet over the years but how did they make mistakes like these two when the facts are so easily verified?
Such as this:

Max (right) is a Sydney based publicist whose office is a 5 minute walk from Whispers. Having been there numerous times we should know.  Perhaps a clue is in the billing Max gives himself as: Australia's Premier Publicist !
And this:                                                             

Alec Baldwin (above left) is a confirmed Democrat who supported Barack Obama's presidential campaign and is supporting Hilary Clinton. His brother actor Stephen Baldwin is a Republican who has expressed beliefs in many right-wing conspiracy theories including a claim Osama Bin Laden is still alive. 

Julia's Terminator Ally

Still reeling from the great MenuGate scandal , Julia Gillard at least has a friend in former California governor Arnie Schwarzenegger who was in Canberra this morning and met with the PM.

Although a Republican Arnie implemented a carbon pricing scheme in California to reduce emissions, in almost identical fashion to the one imposed by Labor.
