That's the way the cookie crumbles

The lines are buzzing, the pundits are tweeting, the dog-whistlers are barking and Mark Latham is sobbing into his pillow because there's ONLY ONE WEEK TO GO! That's right – there's only a single week left until the most spectacular event in Australian politics since... well the last election. Or when we changed Prime Minister less than two months months ago. Or when Tony Abbott had that photoshoot with the fish. Listen, it's quite big OK?

I for one am extraordinarily excited. On a Damacus Excitement Scale from 'Sitting through the Soccer World Cup' as a 0 and 'meeting David Stratton and Margaret Pomeranz" as 100,000,000,000,000; when it comes to the election I'm at least a 6. With such twitching enthusiasm gripping the hearts and minds of the nation, I'd be insane not to capitalise. That's why I'm expanding my  special catering business from last year into the political market.

I think that those cookies look deliciouse, though I am not sure how someone can run a country FROM MY STOMACH.

sheer baking brilliance! Your pastry star shines brightly young damacus, i also like the oh-so-subtle rebuke of barnaby joyces' first name.
He sounds like a sea captain.
A stupid Sea captain.
Thanks for this baked happiness

Mark sobs into everything, though I suspect normally just a hip-flask.

I know, I'm so happy with them. I left them for like five days to build up suspense and I think their stale, but I'm going to eat one now anyway.

Shady, Captain Barnaby Joyce is just so perfect I can't reply. But as long as he's a landlubberI have no respect for him. Baked Happiness is middle name.
