Why Is This Man Smiling?

Choose the best answer:

1) He just totally and unequivocally kicked the (metaphorical) ass of John Howard, former Prime Minister of Australia, key Bush enabler, and all-around asshole.

2) He's envisioning November 5, 2008, the day that George W. Bush and his Republican thugs are resoundingly kicked to the curb in a manner not unlike he just kicked John Howard to the curb.

3) He just realized -- and is enormously gratified to learn that -- the spell of murderous, fear- and war-mongering would-be fascists on his countrymen has been broken.

4) All of the above.
