...neared the rear of the aircraft, it distinctly seemed like the number of “undesirable” passengers (think: old men who fart, women with dogs, etc.) was increasing exponentially. Then in the very back, I saw what frightened me beyond comprehension: a (very) young dad with not one, but TWO, (very) young toddlers, the three of whom were occupying not only 24D and F, but most of E as well. As I squeezed myself between them, navigating a backpack, stuffed Elmo toys, and even a two-year-old climbing over my lap to get his ninja sword...

It's crazy-brave, but the nerdish dad seems to be titillated by these encounters. Crossing over, Rudd last week took his club act to the safer, anesthetized realm of morning television to grab the oldies. On Mornings with Kerri-Anne, Rudd spoke Mandarin, danced the rumba with his co-host, laid bricks, cooked with chocolate, dispensed marriage advice and mixed pap with...
