...success of these mini-moguls make the benefits of entrepreneurship enough that every hyper-competitive economics major needs to spend their summers at the helm of a start...
Australian elections have become increasingly presidential, and Labor cast this one as a two-man race: Kevin vs John, youth vs age, the future vs the past. A vote for Rudd was a vote for someone new. But not too different. Cartoonists drew Rudd as a mini-Howard.

And they also run their respective blocks. The abrupt ending of both the party and the video is brought on by gunshots fired by mysterious, suited...
