A small request for the Australians on my f-list

Would any of y'all be willing to help out a friend of mine who is SERIOUSLY jonesin' for the new Whitlams album that's being given away with various newspapers starting June 1? If you'd be willing to pick up a copy for her, drop a comment over on her post. Thanks!

[Edit: Er, yeah. Maybe being a little more specific on the location would've helped, no? "Starting on Sunday June 1st in NSW's The Sunday Telegraph and rolling out through Victoria in The Australian, and Tasmania in The Mercury, newspaper readers can receive a free Live in Concert CD of The Whitlams and The Sydney Symphony."]

[...]Hillary Clinton compared the plight of Zimbabweans in their recent fraudulent election to the uncounted votes of Michigan and Florida voters saying it is wrong when “people go through the motions of an election only to have them discarded and disregarded.”

“We’re seeing that right now in Zimbabwe," Clinton explained. "Tragically, an election was held, the president lost, they refused to abide by the will of the people,” Clinton told the crowd of senior citizens at a retirement community in south Florida.


Yes, indeed. The situation with Michigan and Florida's primary shenanigans is JUST LIKE what's going on in Zimbabwe.
