Clear your calendars, New Yorkers—the weekend road trip just got a heck of a lot cooler. While vintage trailer rentals have been a thing on the west coast for years, one small new company is bringing the joy of trailer camping to adventure-seekers on the east coast starting this summer. Goodness Travels, which currently rents a small "canned ham" trailer by the night, was founded by a husband/wife team hoping to spread their love of "tiny homes-on-wheels." While their flagship trailer, Honey, is understandably minimal, it packs quite a lot of charm and utility into such a small space. Outfitted with two beds, a retro-style icebox, working kitchen, and an electrical hookup, this little guy is also souped up with fresh paint and some lovely midcentury-appropriate touches. According to the company's website, Honey sleeps two adults (or "four very close friends") comfortably, and starts at just $104 a night. For those looking to get away with friends from the city's hustle, bustle, and sweltering heat this summer, Goodness Travels seems like the perfect option. Check out more photos after the jump! —Max
I love this! I've been fantasizing about a vintage Airstream for awhile now, but of course have nowhere to put one, let alone all the costs. This is a great solution. Very cool, indeed.
I can't contain my excitement. What an amazing idea! Love it.
I know a couple who did this for their honeymoon exploring New Zealand – such an awesome way to travel!!
What a great idea. It looks surprisingly roomy and comfortable inside!
I'm going to be honest, while I love this idea, I think my husband, at 6'1″, would kill me. I feel like he'd be constantly stooped over in there.
Ohhhhh, this is seriously rad. I want a tiny trailer so very much.
My husband and I are taking a 3-week road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway this summer, from San Diego, CA to Port Townsend, WA. Can you suggest a vintage trailer rental vendor on the West Coast please? Thanks!
Umm where can I find this on the West coast? This is my dream come true!
There's a place like this in far west Texas… El Cosmico – Marfa, TX
I wish they are on the west coast. It will be much more fun to camp in CA.
Oh wow…such an awesome concept! When they add a larger one that could accomodate my family of four (preferably a vintage Airstream land yacht), I'll be there in a skinny minute!
My husband and I love to camp with our girls. This would make it so much fun!
On the west coast, try http://vacations-in-a-can.com/ They have some lovely teardrop trailers (sleeping quarters inside, kitchen outside), as well as vintage models. I'm having trouble convincing the hubby to give this a try. One of these days he's gonna lose a bet, then BAM!
Does anyone know of a place in Western North Carolina that rents vintage trailers?
Would absolutely love this…one I could actually handle myself..???

Wisniewski to miss 4-6 weeks with broken footAP , Associated Press
Feb. 27, 2013 2:01 PM ET
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Blue Jackets have placed defenseman James Wisniewski on injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 24 and he is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a broken right foot. Wisniewski was injured when he was struck by a shot during Sunday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks. He had three goals (all on the power play) and six assists in 15 games this season. The 29-year-old had picked up a point in eight of his last nine games prior to being hurt. Originally acquired in a trade with Montréal on June 29, 2011, Wisniewski has 36 goals and 148 assists in 392 career NHL games with Chicago, Anaheim, the New York Islanders, Montreal and Columbus. © The Associated Press.

Wishology! is the 24th episode of Season 6, and the ninth Fairly OddParents television movie. It is also the final episode of Season 6.
In production order, this movie is divided into three one-hour-long episodes: The Big Beginning, The Exciting Middle Part, and The Final Ending. (TBB, TEMP, TFE)
Timmy learns of an ancient danger called The Darkness, which sends robots called Eliminators to try to capture Timmy. When his friends and family are captured, Timmy must ally with his greatest enemies to save them and stop The Darkness. The movie features spoofs of hit science fiction and fantasy film trilogies, including Harry Potter, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, and The Matrix. The movie also features a reference to Back to the Future, during the chase between Timmy, Jorgen Von Strangle, and the Eliminators. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, from the rock band KISS, are in the episode as themselves, and actor Brendan Fraser guest stars as Turbo Thunder.
Part 1: The Big Beginning
The Big Beginning starts with Timmy wishing he was in his own movie trilogy which parodies The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter. He was chased by Crocker with both having special powers. He then wishes for a second movie, where he simply throws a ring into a volcano. Timmy then wishes to become "Timmy Totter" playing "Poofer Scoop", chasing Poof around, until Vicky appears as "Moldy Wart" and chases him. Timmy's fun is interrupted by Jorgen Von Strangle, who zaps away Timmy's fairies and cryptically warns him to stick to the shadows and to not speak his name. Timmy then falls from the sky and lands in front of his house. Timmy claims was just like any one of his other normal mornings and walks inside his house. However, his parents don't seem to know who he is, thinking him a street urchin. When Timmy goes to school, everyone thinks that he's a new kid. Growing more and more confused, Timmy shouts his name through a megaphone. At that instant, an Eliminator (a spoof of the Terminator) bursts into the class. Timmy manages to outrun the robot on A.J.'s hover bike, before being taken into an alleyway by Jorgen, who calls him by name. At first Timmy is relieved that someone actually knows him, but takes it back when Jorgen brings up a bazooka, which he fires at the Eliminator. The Eliminator then gets up and reveals itself to have a vortex mouth, attempting to suck Timmy into it. Jorgen is able to grab him and they escape to Fairy World on Jorgen's motorcycle, while the Eliminator crashes into a mall. To maintain inconspicuousness, the Eliminator disguises itself with sunglasses and a black coat, before summoning two more to assist in hunting down Timmy.
Jorgen tells Timmy that all the fairies are safe. Or maybe not, since he's turned all the fairies into gumballs and stuck them in a gumball machine in a greasy truck stop bar. A fat kid starts buying the gumballs and chomps up Binky, then almost chomps up Wanda, but Cosmo rescues her and Poof by being blown into a bubble. All the other fairies follow suit and hop into the gross kid's mouth.
Meanwhile, Jorgen takes Timmy through a perilous journey across Fairy World before ending up right back where they started. When Timmy asks what they are looking for, Jorgen says that it's the "Cave of Destiny" (a parody of the Cave of Wonders) where all his questions can be answered. As it so happens, they are right next to it. Entering the Cave of Destiny, Timmy is shown the Cave Prophecy, depicting about the ancient fairies that fought the Darkness and its agents of destruction, the Eliminators. The fairies were able to drive away the Darkness with its natural enemy: light. But fearing that it may come back, the strongest fairy warriors were sent into the void of space to illuminate it. The previous night, the Big Dipper Brigade (in the form of the Big Dipper Constellation) vanished from the night sky. Jorgen had to wipe out any memory of its existence to abet chaos and fear. He also had to wipe away any memory of Timmy so that no one would say his name and give away his location. However, Timmy is still confused about how this connects with him. Jorgen explains that the ancient fairies hid a powerful White Wand to drive back the Darkness, and that it was assigned to a Chosen One to use it. The prophecy also explains that someone with a pink hat, buck teeth and the initials TT is the Chosen One who must find "The White Wand in the Rock sealed with a Kiss", which leads Jorgen to believe that it must be Timmy. And, more importantly, he points to a pair of Eliminator footprints in the ground, meaning that they know he is the Chosen One and worse, that Jorgen accidentally said his name outloud (which also echoed a bit), drawing in the Eliminators. After a chase across Fairy World, Jorgen tricks the Eliminators into thinking that Timmy's been eliminated, by posing as him and becoming sucked into the Darkness.
As soon as the Eliminators are gone, Timmy hopes that the other fairy warriors will be able to assist him, only to see all the stars go out; on Earth, the M.E.R.F. (Military Extra-Terrestrial Research Facility) claims to the public that they turned off the stars to conserve energy, which everyone believes. With the Darkness closing in on Fairy World, Timmy uses the Tooth Fairy's coin delivery system to return to Earth. But a series of mishaps have him labelled a quarter thief/statue smasher. He manages to get back to his Timmy Cave to find Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof. But his poor motorcycle skills cause him to become captured by M.E.R.F. (parodying the Men in Black, voiced by Patrick Warburton). They believe that he is an alien due to the fact that he has no records on Earth, is nonexistent and that photographs have been taken of him being chased by the Eliminators on AJ's hoverbike. When they begin bragging about their concrete melters and spy cars, Timmy steals those gadgets. Using the spy car, he links its computer to the Timmy Cave's to resume his search for his fairies. As it so happens, the Eliminators, sitting at the roadside diner the fairies were located, hear about Timmy's survival on the Convenient News Network and chase him to Vegas.
Timmy manages to find his godfamily, but is dismayed to find that Jorgen turned them into gumballs. When he tells them about the Darkness and him being the Chosen One, they freak out at the former, but laugh at the latter. Cosmo then says Timmy's name outloud, at which the Eliminators appear. Luckily, Timmy is able to trap them in a gel-like substance with the spy car's gadgets. Unfortunately, both the Darkness and M.E.R.F. have also found him. Because the former is too concerned with MARF (Middle Aged Rock Festival), which also alert Timmy that the White Wand is located there, Timmy evades their freeze rays, which in turn freezes them. Timmy then steals an airplane and ends up in a KISS concert in Las Vegas, where he finds out that K.I.S.S. are actually fairy guardians and that the White Wand is one of their guitars; they had been guarding it for centuries. They don't believe him when he tells them he is the Chosen One, telling him to say the Chosen One's creed or some ancient code or something. In frustration, Timmy ends up saying his name out loud, causing the Eliminators to appear. Seeing that the Eliminators want to destroy him, KISS believe that he is the Chosen One. They quickly blast away two Eliminators, only for the leading one to produce a weapon that vaporizes theirs. Luckily, it is shaped like a teething ring, which an excited Poof gnaws on and breaks off, allowing Gene Simmons to melt down the Eliminator with his fiery breath. But the melted puddle simply reforms into an army of Eliminators. As it so happens, the other fairies have arrived and used their gum forms to trap the Eliminators where they stand. Unfortunately, the Darkness arrives and tries to swallow everyone in the concert hall before Timmy plays the White Wand, and starts forcing the Darkness back with magical bursts from the guitar (similar to activating star power in Guitar Hero). The Darkness then retreats after taking all the Eliminators with it, releasing all the planets it consumed, including Fairy World. Jorgen then falls from the sky, exclaiming that Timmy succeeded, before mentioning how dark it was inside the Darkness.
After KISS suggests that they party, Timmy gives his parents, Crocker and MERF a chance to enjoy the concert again as it is moved to Fairy World. Jorgen allows it because he owes Timmy but says that he will erase all memory of Fairy World when the show is over. Shortly after, a muscular looking man arrives who looks shockingly similar to the prophecy's depiction of Timmy, announcing himself as Turbo Thunder, takes Timmy's guitar before he acclaims that he is the one to defeat the Darkness. As he discovers that he is too late, everyone just goes on to enjoy the concert (with Jorgen erasing their memories of the event after it was over). Just as Timmy looks confidently at the Big Dipper constellation in the sky, he feels like it is finally over only for all of the stars in the sky to vanish again the minute he and his godfamily turn around and walk off (not noticing the disappearance).
Part 2: The Exciting Middle Part
As this segment begins, Timmy is basking in the glory of being the Chosen One. Because he defeated the Darkness, he gained a video game, a movie, hordes of fans, and a statue of himself holding the White Wand, all in his honor. He proclaims to all of Fairy World that the Darkness is never coming back, even though Turbo Thunder keeps insists that the Darkness will return and they will all regret rejecting him as the true Chosen One, but is ignored.
Meanwhile, on Yugopotamia, life there is going on as usual. However, their usual admiration of filth is interrupted when meteors crash on the planet, carrying with them Eliminators. King Gripullon and Queen Jipjorrulac try to board their royal escape pods, only to accidentally launch them trying to prove to each other that they can handle flying them. Only Mark's pod remain and they presume that their son is on Earth "hating his home planet, and chilling with the universe's great space warrior...Timmy Turner." But as it turns out, Mark has returned to Yugopotamia for a new Fake-i-fier, because his old one is malfunctioning and turning him into ladies' footwear. But before he could strap a new one on, the Darkness tears off the palace roof. Grippulon places his son in his escape pod and tries making a grandstanding speech to him, only for the pod to be launched by Jipjorrulac before he could finish. Eliminators then crash in and suck the king and queen into black holes. The head Eliminator, declaring that the Chosen One will not escape them this time, releases the Fake-i-fiers into the Darkness, as it consumes Yugopotamia.
Back in Fairy World, Timmy and his godfamily are seeing a commercial for his biographical film. However, he had tweaked the scripts to portray himself as a ninja and kissing Trixie Tang. Wanda becomes concerned that the violence in the movie could negatively influence Poof, but Cosmo dismisses her concerns. After he says that, Poof displays many martial arts moves. Wanda tries convincing Timmy to go home because his parents are worried sick about him. She quickly poofs him back home after pretending to hear a wiener-stuffed Cosmo advocating that action. But it turns out, Timmy's parents have forgotten to bring him on vacation and leave without even thinking.
Timmy wants to go back to Fairy World and demands that Wanda poof up all the wieners and gifts they left behind. They then hear Mark's scream. They go outside to find the Yugopotamian pleading for help against the Darkness, because Timmy is the Chosen One. Timmy tries correcting that he isn't truly the Chosen One, but remembers that he hasn't told Mark that and asks why he's holding him tightly. But Mark is revealed to be an Eliminator in disguise, who tries sucking him in. Timmy tries wishing the Eliminator away, but it snatches his fairies' wands before they could. Luckily, the real Mark's pod crashes on the impostor. They are able to confirm that it's him because of the lack of a vortex mouth, and that he ate a dirty diaper. Mark then makes the same plea his impostor did. After Mark activates the Fake-i-fier the Eliminator was wearing, Wanda asks why the Darkness would destroy Yugopotamia but not the rest of the universe. Cosmo guesses that perhaps the Darkness is only after Timmy, because since he was the one to defeat it, the Darkness wants to take him out before going after the rest of the universe.
Realizing that the Darkness is back, Timmy says that they must go and find Turbo Thunder so that he could defeat the Darkness. But they arrive in Fairy World too late, as Jorgen had banished Turbo Thunder for claiming that the Darkness will be coming back. Jorgen simply laughed at his claims, only to stop when Timmy says that the Darkness is coming back. Thinking they missed an important part of the Cave Prophecy, they go back to the Cave of Destiny. Jorgen insists that there isn't a part of the prophecy he could've missed, having "the eyes of eagle, the speed of a puma, and the wisdom of a great horned owl." Timmy corrects him by clapping his hands, revealing a second part of the prophecy, revealing that there's a second wand. Jorgen corrects his statement to, "Make that the eyes of a mole and the wisdom of a clothes hamper, but I still have the strength of a lion." Cosmo also notices that one of the drawings depicts the Eliminators taking over Fairy World.
Outside, Cupid is irritated that the streets are crowded with so many fairies. But most of those fairies are in fact Eliminators, who begin snatching up the fairies and their wands. Jorgen senses the disturbance in the Fairy Force and says that they must decipher Part 2 of the prophecy to find the next wand. Mark, finding that the cave drawings are amazingly written in Yugopotamian, deciphers that the second wand is located on the blue moon. But the Eliminators, disguised as stalagmites, capture the fairies. But before they could eliminate Timmy, he and Mark escape through a convenient escape portal back to Earth. Timmy then attempts to enlist Mark to help him defeat the Darkness, but his friend has no interest in being a sidekick, until he has to repeatedly save Timmy from the Eliminators, who have disguised themselves as Timmy's closest friends and family. A chase around town leads back to Timmy's house, where the roof is ripped off. The Eliminator then gather in a circular motion, forming a large vortex. Timmy manages to stop the Darkness and destroy the Eliminators by throwing various gifts, received from his fame, into the Darkness, including a boom box, some roller skates, and some cocktail weenies. He and Mark then rush off to find the latter's spaceship. The Eliminators survive, however, and absorb the items Timmy threw into the Darkness, gaining roller skates and singing "Get Timmy Turner" to funk music coming from boom boxes attached to their bodies.
Meanwhile, the Eliminators have locked up all the fairies, in addition to Timmy's friends and family, in Fairy World's greatest prison Abracatraz (a parody of Alcatraz). Timmy's parents think that they are suffering from overeating cocktails wienies, and believe that it would be crazy to see fairies. But when they do, they faint. As Wanda cries for a way out, Jorgen is optimistic that Timmy is hurling through space "with the speed of a space cheetah" to find the second wand and save them all.
Back on Earth, Timmy and Mark find that that latter's spaceship is not in the Dimmsdale dump. Because the Eliminators have all his friends and love ones, Timmy figures that his enemies could help. They go to Crocker, who has built a large telescope designed to find Fairy World. Crocker agrees to help if Timmy confesses to having fairies, which he anti-climatically answers. Holding up to his end of the bargain, Crocker shows them the blue moon in the Vegon system. He also unveils the Crocker Rocket to help them get there. Mark asks how he could afford this on a teacher's salary; Crocker answers that he stole the funds for the new school science wing. He tries proving that it can get them to Vegon in time, but accidentally launches it. Luckily, Timmy knows where they can get a spaceship - by posting an embarrassing movie of Dark Laser, calling him "Fart Blazer", on TooYube (a parody of YouTube). Word quickly spreads and Dark Laser, angered that Timmy would disclose his secret "irritable bowel" after he confided in the boy, comes down to Earth to confront him. Timmy quickly ushers him up the ramp, stating that they'll discuss the subject later. When Mark asks whether he thinks his enemies can take on the Darkness, Timmy says they are missing one person: Vicky, whom he lures with fake cash. To secure their help, he promises that Crocker could see his fairies, Vicky twenty dollars, and Dark Laser can destroy him when this whole crisis is over.
Back in Abracatraz, Timmy's friends and family learn the truth about his fairies. Angered that Timmy wasn't considerate of them, they get angry, though Wanda reasons that Timmy has risked his life for them. Considering that, Mr. Turner asks if Timmy could've wished away his "man-flab". Jorgen snaps that he could've and tries reminding them that they must break out. Unfortunately, an Eliminator hears him and marches up to their cell; Jorgen tries correcting his statement to say he's hungry. The Eliminator offers chicken fingers, which Mr. Turner declines. In the midst of this, Poof busts out and defeats the Eliminators with his martial arts skills, before setting everyone free. Jorgen then declares that they must now join forces with Timmy, only to reminded that they don't have wands. Therefore, they all disguise themselves as Eliminators to retrieve the wands. But Jorgen is reminded once again that they don't know where Timmy is.
Because there is no food on their ship, Dark Laser suggests they go to a cafe on Fridgidarium. Crocker panics, knowing that it's the coldest planet in the galaxy. To keep the others warm, Dark Laser gives them a thermal refuge barrel, some blankets, his ex-wife's fur coat, and a set of earmuffs to put on and warm them which cause them to look similar to Star Wars characters: Timmy as Luke Skywalker, Mark as R2-D2, Crocker as Chewbacca (who he also makes noises like due to sinus trouble and possible allergies), Vicky as Princess Leia Organa, and Dark Laser as Darth Vader, who he already looked like. Arriving in the cafe, (which is similar to and is a parody of the Mos Eisley Cantina), they attempt to sit down for snacks. Unfortunately, every other patron in the cafetina is an Eliminator in disguise. They capture Vicky, Crocker and Dark Laser with ease and add their weapons to their arsenal. With the Eliminators bearing down on him, Timmy tries reasoning with them that they want Turbo Thunder. He then shakes the head Eliminator's hand, causing them all to malfunction and shut down. Mark perceives that he defeated them with his "Chosen One Death Grip", though Timmy says that he simply was trying to be nice, to which Mark says works too. Timmy then runs outside, proclaiming that he is the Chosen One. It is then that the Darkness arrives. Mark shouts to the Darkness, asking what does it want, to which the Darkness moans Timmy's name. Luckily, they are saved by Turbo Thunder, bringing them to Thunder World, his amusement park he plans to open once he defeats the Darkness. But when said the Darkness follows them, Turbo Thunder insists that Timmy tells him where the second wand is. Timmy agrees, but only if Turbo takes him and Mark with him. But Turbo Thunder had in fact lied, leaving Timmy and Mark to the mercy of the Darkness. To save their lives, Mark swallows Timmy whole and stows away on his ship before take off, though unknown and unseen by Turbo Thunder. They reach the Blue Moon and Mark regurgitates Timmy. Timmy is just about to get the second wand, but is confronted by Turbo Thunder and the guardian of the second wand. Although Turbo attempts to fight the guardian, Timmy refuses to do so. Turbo is beaten down by the guardian, and Timmy is granted the second wand and declared the true Chosen One.
Meanwhile, Timmy's enemies are being carted off, still frozen in ice. They are freed by Jorgen and, once informed of Timmy's whereabouts, quickly poofs them to the blue moon of Veegon, where Timmy is taunted by the head Eliminator that no magic wand can stop them and promises that they will keep coming back in greater numbers than before. Luckily, Timmy's friends and family arrive and successfully drive the Eliminators back with a combined magical attack. Timmy is more than grateful that they saved him. After giving Trixie a unicorn, Chester reminds Timmy that the Darkness is still bearing down on them. However, when Timmy tries to use the Second Wand against the Darkness, nothing happens and the dark entity remains. The Darkness then tries inhaling everyone. Only Jorgen is the anchor to the ground, keeping everyone from being sucked in. He asks Timmy to just say the word and he'll poof them all away. But Timmy knows that no matter where he goes, the Darkness will follow him. Mr. Turner cries out what does it even wants. The Darkness answers by creepily moaning Timmy's name. Realizing that the Darkness wants only him, Timmy climbs the rope his friends and family made, where Trixie kisses Timmy before he willingly releases his grip on her and gets pulled into the Darkness. The Darkness leaves with Timmy while everyone is heartbroken at the loss (Trixie and Vicky even cried a little for Timmy's bravery, and Vicky openly exclaims that she'd never call Timmy a "twerp" again, followed by Mark hitting on her). Jorgen and the others firmly decide that since Timmy sacrificed himself to save them, it was now THEIR turn to save him, before he foolishly created a rocket ship using magic and then accidentally launched it away without anyone on board it first. The scene then pans out from the blue moon into a view of the galaxy, as the Darkness comes towards the screen. This is the first Fairly Odd Parents episode or movie with a cliffhanger.
Part 3: The Final Ending
The third part opens with Cosmo using a text crawl explaining Timmy's sacrifice but runs out of things to say. The scene then cuts to Timmy's bedroom, where he wakes up, thinking that the whole affair with the Darkness was a dream. However, his fairies claim that he used his Chosen One powers to make it explode, after which Jorgen erased everyone else's memories. Timmy awakens inside of his own room again and begins a new day at school with everyone's memories of what happened at the Blue Moon of Vegan erased. It turns out to be a terrible day, so he wishes to start the day over as the best day ever. But before he could kiss Trixie, a trio of Eliminators burst through the wall. Timmy attempts to leap into battle only to find out that the Eliminators are Jorgen, Wanda and Cosmo in disguise, and the Jorgen, Cosmo, and Wanda that were with him before were Eliminators in disguise. In fact, Timmy is still inside the Darkness, who is using an illusion to keep him distracted from fulfilling his Chosen One destiny. He tries denying it, until "Trixie" reveals that she is the Head Eliminator. With his fairies, Timmy is able to escape the Darkness. The Darkness now wants Timmy safely back, but the Eliminator that first chased him (the future Destructinator) is still set on annihilating Timmy when the Darkness does not want him destroyed. Refusing any disobedience, the Darkness orders the head Eliminator to return to him. The latter refuses and attempts to rebel, only to be destroyed. Nonetheless, after he is destroyed and sent plummeting into the ocean on Earth, he reassembles himself and takes off to face Timmy. Back in the real Dimmsdale, Timmy reunites with his family and friends in the Timmy Cave beneath his house and they relay what has happened so far before the Eliminator returns. He not only absorbs Jorgen's wand and sends Timmy's friends and family into the Darkness, but pursues Timmy all the way to the Dimmsdale Mall. Cosmo, enraged that he openly attacked them, transforms into a giant Godzilla like creature named Coszilla, and, even though he had the advantage now, he stupidly made their magic wands but accidentally makes his, Wanda's, and Jorgen's wands vanish. Before the Eliminator can finish Timmy, the M.E.R.F. appears and attempts to take it down with a large amount of firepower. Unfortunately, the Eliminator absorbs all of their attacks and uses their weapons against the M.E.R.F. With a massive power boost, the Eliminator uses its new found magical powers to completely solidify the Earth in a giant steel casing and change all M.E.R.F. personnel into his robotic henchmen as Timmy and his fairies escape in a M.E.R.F. escape probe. The Eliminator then changes its identity to the Destructinator. Jorgen, who was granted rocket gluts from the Destructinator, escapes becoming a robot, but realizes that he has no magic on a metal Earth.
Timmy and his fairies return to the Blue Moon to retrieve the second wand and run into a weakened Turbo Thunder. He then reveals the true reason why the second wand did nothing when Timmy used it. It's true purpose was to "light the way", as the entire moon turned to face the sun and powered up the wand. It was then revealed that beneath the moon's surface was a hidden society lined to the brim with magic and it revealed the final part of the cave prophecy, where Timmy would have to find a third and final wand, hidden within the Earth's ice. Turbo Thunder reveals he was the original Chosen One, picked by the fairy council (through auditions), but as stated before he was late and Timmy had to fill in. Thunder apologizes and admits that Timmy is the new Chosen Ine. He also tells them he tried out to become the chosen one to take revenge on the Darkness because it destroyed his home planet of Wonder World and took his family from him. Turbo Thunder tries to train Timmy, but the later unable to keep up with his super powered teacher. Thus, Turbo Thunder transfers his powers to Timmy, who dubs himself "Turbo Timmy", knowing he was the only hope of stopping the Destructinator and the Darkness. The group returns to Fairy World and frees the fairies by giving them wands from the hidden ruins below the moon in order to fight back the remaining Eliminators. Timmy then returns to Earth to face the Destructinator, as the Darkness catches word that Timmy has returned.
On Earth, Jorgen, poorly disguised as a robot, walks up to the robotic M.E.R.F. agents to ask what's happening. The Destructinator then comes down and grabs him, stating that he's in fact filling Earth with enough explosives that will destroy the Darkness at its one weak spot: its heart. He then proceeds to play around with his magic, giving Jorgen giants ears, before having him strapped to a chair to witness the explosive-stuffed Earth destroy both the Darkness and Timmy. As the M.E.R.F.agents give the Destructinator the detonator (which he had to magnetize to his chest because it's too small for him), Jorgen points out that he cannot blow up the Chosen One or the Darkness when they're not here. He is soon proved wrong when both of them arrive on Earth. The Destructinator quickly captures Timmy, before beckoning the Darkness to come and get his "buddy", the Chosen One. It is then that Jorgen hears with his big ears a million fairies raising their wands. At that moment, all the fairies restore the Earth to normal with their magic, as well as freeing Timmy and Jorgen. But the Destructinator jumps in to remind them that he's still standing. Timmy walks up to mock his attempts at eliminating him and leads the Destructinator on a chase through space, as the fairies search the Earth for the ice wand. But he soon makes the mistake of giving his foe his Thunder Pits powers. The Destructinator then sends Timmy crashing onto the North Pole, before he gloats that because of him, he now has magic and all the power in the universe. Timmy adds that he technically doesn't, tricking the Destructinator into sucking all the weapons stuffed in the Earth, causing him to grow larger, before he reveals to him that he snatched the detonator from him in space. He then detonates the bombs, destroying the Destructinator once and for all. The massive explosion also melts the ice and reveals the third and final wand (though its guardian, a talking polar bear, made it appear after Timmy blew up most of the ice). Now, with Jorgen, his fairies, Turbo Thunder, Juandissimo and Cupid standing at his side, Timmy must now fulfill the prophecy and defeat the Darkness. But just then, he realizes something. When the Darkness appeared before Turbo Thunder's world and Fairy World, it was first attacked by the inhabitants of the world before it attacked them, the Darkness was merely defending itself. And it's obsession with Timmy wasn't about conquering the universe, but because Timmy was the only one to never send anything harmful into it. All the Darkness ever wanted was a friend. With the powers of the Fire Wand (the guitar), the Wind Wand (the wand on the Blue Moon) and the Ice Wand (found buried under the North Pole's icy layer), he uses his fairies magic to poof up more ice wands on every other planet, creating a giant smiling face of light when he activated the wand's powers and unleashed a powerful beam of light into the Darkness. After that, the Darkness transforms into the Kindness (although Cosmo refers to it as the "Yellowness") and returns all of Timmy's captured friends and family, along with Mark and Turbo Thunder's parents. They celebrate with another KISS concert in Fairy World when KISS and the ancient fairy counselors surprisingly appear after Timmy defeated the Darkness. During the concert, Timmy and Trixie attempt to kiss, but Jorgen interrupts them and tells Timmy that he's erasing everyone's memories after the concert. Timmy figured that would happen, but was relieved he wouldn't have to find anymore wands. But in the Cave of Destiny, as the prophecy showed Timmy with all three wands, a red fourth wand appeared, resembling an appearance to the former "Earth Wand" at Wonder World, which got sucked by the Darkness. But, it's revealed that Cosmo drew it with a red crayon before saying "Just kidding!" and ending up crushed by a rock after getting brain freeze from an ice cream sandwich, ending the Wishology trilogy story.

Chris Bowen

This is Sunday Profile, I'm Richard Aedy. Glad you could join me. Today, the man who may just have the hardest job in government.
Chris Bowen is the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship. It's a rare day that you hear about the citizenship. Officially the main part of his job is to maximise the economic and social benefits for Australia from all forms of temporary and permanent migration.
In reality of course his attention is consumed by asylum seekers who arrive by boat. More than 6,000 have done so already this year. To put that in perspective, last year there was about 4,500, in 2010 it was 6,500.
Every time another boat arrives it hurts the Government's standing. And this is a Government that doesn't have a lot of standing, not where it counts, in the polls.
So Chris Bowen's job, to stop this from happening, is one of the most politically sensitive there is.
And speaking of political sensitivity, this week the Government's had to deal with more speculation about Julia Gillard's leadership after Government Whip Joel Fitzgibbon said political leaders who aren't popular end up being replaced.
It does make you wonder how long before the Federal Labor Caucus has to revisit the issue.
CHRIS BOWEN: I took a very public view on this in February, quite a controversial view. I said in February that Kevin Rudd should be returned to the leadership. That was my view.
But I said at the time that the party has one chance to do this, one opportunity to fix it and that we should take that opportunity then, in February, and that whatever decision the party made we should all get behind. And that remains my position now.
So I think when you make a decision you stick to it. And obviously I've been doing everything I can to support Julia Gillard as Prime Minister and certainly I'd continue to do that.
RICHARD AEDY: But Joel Fitzgibbon who of course was on Q & A and who, like you, is part of the New South Wales right, he's correct when he says if leaders remain unpopular long enough they inevitably stop leading the party. It's not a sentimental business.
CHRIS BOWEN: No well as I said the other day, Joel is perfectly entitled to put that view publicly. I very publicly endorsed Kevin Rudd in February, controversially, not universally popularly. But I did it because I thought it was the right decision at the time.
But I also said that we need to get behind the leader. I said Julia Gillard is a very good Prime Minister just as Kevin Rudd was. I think we had a difficult choice between two good people, two good prime ministers. And whatever decision the party made we had to back. And that remains my position and will remain so. We should continue.
RICHARD AEDY: But it can't surely if the polls remain awful - and they're awful - say by, I don't know, March next year, you can't say well we've had our one shot, we're going to go down in this way. That's not what politicians do. Ultimately you do get very, well, analytical about this.
CHRIS BOWEN: Well look Kevin said he's not challenging again. He said that publicly. He said it privately. That's his position. He's not challenging again. A lot of people would say that that was said at the time and he might walk away from that. He hasn't and I don't believe he will.
So really the party just gets on with the business of governing and I think frankly concentrating on our job and concentrating on the people and the community who are looking to the Government for leadership rather than continually talking about ourselves or our party or the political machinations. Our best chance electorally is to be a good Government and to concentrate on the task at hand.
I have a fairly large task to concentrate on and that's what I do.
RICHARD AEDY: Well we'll get to your task in a moment. But you were doing pretty well as a Government at not talking about yourselves for a while and then Joel Fitzgibbon said what he said on Q&A.
CHRIS BOWEN: You'll get these things from time to time. You'll get, you know, every so often there's speculation that Malcolm Turnbull is going to do something that…
RICHARD AEDY: Every time he goes on Q&A he's asked if he will, yes.
CHRIS BOWEN: Quite right. And, you know, that's just politics. That's our system. And in this environment we have a robust Parliament, a hung Parliament, and polls which are very difficult for the Government. Yes, everything that, every time a Government member says something it'll be analysed through that prism, through that frame.
RICHARD AEDY: Or the brother of a Government member. Greg Rudd has said, well the Prime Minister will be rolled in February. He's standing as an independent next year.
CHRIS BOWEN: Yeah well I'm not sure how much insight Greg has into the current operations of the Federal Caucus. There was a time when he was a very senior staffer, he would've. I'm not sure that's accurate any more.
RICHARD AEDY: All right, that was numbers. Let's talk about some more numbers. Figures from your department show that more than 6,000 asylum seekers have arrive by boat this year. That's a third more than all of last year. What steps are you taking to stop it?
CHRIS BOWEN: Last year's figures were lower than normal, lower than the year before, for a number of reasons. One of them was we'd announced the Malaysia agreement for example and that was having an impact. There were other push factors having an impact.
I think what we're now seeing frankly is a lot of people coming to Australia by boat compared to last year because they are seeing a window before steps are taken and they want to get in before the Government changes policy.
And very clearly we've indicated we want to change. We want to implement offshore processing. But we've reached a political stalemate with the Opposition. And I think, you know, people smugglers and asylum seekers see that and see that the Government's indicated a clear intention here and therefore we're going to maximise the use of it before the Government manages to get its way through the Parliament.
What we've done is this: We've taken the unusual step of instigating this panel, this expert panel led by Angus Houston, also with Paris Aristotle and Michael L'Estrange - three people very respected across the political spectrum.
We've done that as a circuit breaker, as I say quite unusual, as a circuit breaker because politicians talking at each other has not provided the outcome we want. Now
I know offshore processing is controversial. There'll be plenty of your listeners who say, oh no, this is terrible, we should have onshore processing.
Frankly offshore processing is necessary to save lives. You've got to have a fairer system and a safer system. And offshore processing in my very strong view, having considered it deeply in my time as Immigration Minister, is the only option which saves lives.
RICHARD AEDY: But given that that is I can see your number one priority, to prevent some of the dreadful disasters we've had recently with boats going down and people drowning at sea, why not just reopen Nauru?
CHRIS BOWEN: Well because it doesn't work Richard. And you're asking me to implement a policy that I don't believe works. Why does it…
RICHARD AEDY: But you'd be acting in a bipartisan way, the Coalition would have to vote for it in Parliament. So if you're right and it didn't work you would both own it. You would actually take a stick away from the Opposition that they've been beating you with and winning with. And if you're wrong then you save lives. I don't see why you wouldn't try this.
CHRIS BOWEN: Well it's not just about politics though, obviously. It is political but it's not just about politics.
Now you've got Nauru. Now when I became Immigration Minister a little over 18 months ago I came in with a blank canvas in effect and said look, to the, I called in all the senior officials, experts available to the Government. And I said look, let's just go through, you've got a new Minister. If we need to step back and change policy, we will. If we need to open Nauru, from my point of view, I'll prosecute the case. But I need to go through what works and what doesn't.
And they explained to me that Nauru doesn't work because it's a Christmas Island further away. It's just a processing centre.
At the end of the day Richard it doesn't matter whether people get processed on Christmas Island or Nauru or Villawood or elsewhere. If they get the outcome…
RICHARD AEDY: So why is Nauru just a Christmas Island further away and Malaysia not?
CHRIS BOWEN: Oh well they're very different, very, very different because Nauru is a processing centre. And Nauru doesn't say, look, you can leave the people here if they're refugees or not refugees. It's a centre. It's for processing. So people who are refugees are then brought to Australia and resettled.
In Malaysia that's not the case. In Malaysia people taken there are processed for refugee status and just processed with the other 100,000 asylum seekers in Malaysia. And then the UNHCR may refer them to another country, including Australia, down the track. But there's no guaranteed outcome there of resettlement to Australia.
And that's the big difference between Nauru and Malaysia.
Now Nauru is a centre which Australia would have to run at very considerable cost. It's a long way away. There's a lot of operational costs. I know the sort of public view is well, it's just sitting there doing nothing, we should it use it. Well it's not sitting there doing nothing. It's been converted to a school so you'd basically have to rebuild it at again a very considerable cost.
So that would involve me saying to you or any other interviewer, look I'm going to spend this billion dollars or two. I don't really think it's going to work but hey, you know, at least then I could prove the Liberals wrong.
RICHARD AEDY: But you, Scott Morrison and Tony Abbott, they keep saying Nauru worked, we did it, this is, the Howard government achieved this, we did it with offshore processing, we did it with Nauru.
CHRIS BOWEN: That's their answer to everything isn't it? But…
RICHARD AEDY: But I mean why not, why not take them up on it?
CHRIS BOWEN: Well because as I say, you then, I'd then be sitting here saying I don't believe this policy would work but I'm willing to spend a billion or two dollars doing it. And I just don't think I could say that.
Now if the expert panel recommends it, well we'll look seriously at it. I've said that. And that's why this is a genuine process with the expert panel.
Let's - I've had all the expert advice. I've had, I've seen all the intelligence. I mean I'm in an advantageous position. I get to see all the intelligence reports from all our agencies. I get to talk to all the experts. I get to talk to the UNHCR. I get all the information. Not everybody in the Parliament does. Certainly not everybody in the community does.
So this expert panel is an opportunity to try and get some of that information certainly before the expert panel and get some of the reasoning before the Parliament. And then the Parliament can make its own conclusion.
But look Malaysia, the Malaysia agreement was quite a different type of agreement, quite innovative. Lots of people said we wouldn't, they said you can never get Indonesia or Malaysia or one of the big countries in our region to work with us on this because they would see it is a small problem for us. You know, we get 6,000 arrivals say. They have 100,000 asylum seekers on their books. They say, well should we help you?
But Malaysia is prepared to help us. And we're prepared to help them in a regional way. The big, one of the big benefits of the Malaysia agreement that I negotiated with the Malaysian government is we take 4,000 refugees from Malaysia into Australia and give them a chance of a better life too.
So it was a proper regional agreement. I would see it not necessarily as the end of the game, but the beginning of the game in terms of regional engagement, getting better protection outcomes across the region, increasing our refugee intake.
RICHARD AEDY: But it's now the end of the game because the High Court ruled it unconstitutional and you weren't able to change the law in the Parliament.
CHRIS BOWEN: Well they didn't rule it unconstitutional. That might be (inaudible) sound like, I don't want to nit pick, they ruled it unlawful with their interpretation of the Migration Act - big difference to unconstitutional. It means simply they interpreted the Migration Act in a different way to the Government or the previous government, the Howard government, did. And that can be changed by legislation.
RICHARD AEDY: The point is it leaves, at the moment you can't implement it.
CHRIS BOWEN: Correct.
RICHARD AEDY: So what can you do?
CHRIS BOWEN: Well what you can do is, look, we do have choices here. We could say, you're quite right, we could say well look let's just implement Opposition policy. We don't think it'll work but, you know, hey, at least…
RICHARD AEDY: I'm sure you wouldn't do it like that. You'd come out and do an all singing and dancing act about it.
CHRIS BOWEN: (Laughs) Well you could do that. But I don't think we could do that with a straight face and say this policy we've told you we don't believe works, we're going to implement anyway.
What we've decided to do - or we could shrug our shoulders and say we can't do anything. Well that's not sustainable either.
So we've gone this road, to say let's try and take some of the politics out of this. Let's get three people in - Angus Houston, Michael L'Estrange, Paris Aristotle - all from different if you like walks of life. Paris Aristotle has been a refugee advocate and a refugee counsellor for 25 years. He understands the region. He understands the issues. Angus Houston is well known as a former chair of the Defence Force. Michael L'Estrange a former secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs.
If these three guys make a recommendation I certainly would take it seriously and I hope the whole Parliament would.
RICHARD AEDY: But they've already, but the Greens and the Opposition have already said we will listen but we're not going to do anything that doesn't already fit with our policy.
CHRIS BOWEN: Well let's see, let's see. Look I think it's, you're quite right, the Opposition is not going to move here. They've made that crystal clear. Tony Abbott is not the sort of type to take expert advice. I accept that.
The Greens have said they have their policy position but they'll take it to their party room. I respect that. I'm, look, I'm not a big fan of the Greens party. I'm on the record as saying that. But I respect the fact they've agreed to be part of the process. I think that's good. I respect their policy. I disagree with it. But I'm glad that they've said they will look at what the panel recommends at least.
And I'm sure the panel, it's a very independent process, but I'm sure that they would justify their recommendations and provide supporting analysis and everybody should have a good look at that.
RICHARD AEDY: So when do the panel report to you?
CHRIS BOWEN: They'll report before Parliament goes back so that's mid-August.
RICHARD AEDY: I want to talk to you briefly about detention centres because the chief executives of Australia's largest media organisations and the MEAA which is the journalists' union have expressed concern over the access that journalists have to detention centres. Why have you limited it in the way that you have?
CHRIS BOWEN: Well you would think that I had reduced media access to detention centres. In fact quite the contrary.
We had people coming to us saying we want to go to detention centres. And obviously a detention centre is a large, complex environment where things, where there can be very difficult management issues.
Now there remain restrictions. And in fact it was an ABC journalist who suggested to me, why don't we have a code of conduct which says if we could come in to detention centres this is what we can do and this is what we can't do?
And obviously you've got legal obligations. We as a department have legal obligations to protect the identity of asylum seekers, which we do because it can affect their claims.
And I thought well that sounds like a reasonable suggestion. So I took it away and worked it up. And it's worked pretty well.
RICHARD AEDY: Every single one of the media organisations has written to you with their concerns…
CHRIS BOWEN: Well of course.
RICHARD AEDY: And it's because they are obliged to submit photographs and video footage and tape recordings to a government official before publication or broadcasting. But that is, that's censorship.
CHRIS BOWEN: Well if they had broadcast the face of an asylum seeker and it affects their claims, that's something I'm responsible for as Minister frankly, not them. They're in my care in a detention centre. So we do have to take steps.
But nobody has shown me an instance where, you know, a government official has said oh you can't say that, you can't broadcast that unreasonably.
And look just as when you go into a hospital or frankly any other government organisation or building there are certain rules you need to follow.
RICHARD AEDY: All right. This is Sunday Profile with me, Richard Aedy. My guest is the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Chris Bowen.
When did all this journey start? I mean here you are now, not 40 yet, Immigration Minister, Cabinet Minister. But this started obviously in childhood. I read that at 10, about the time Bob Hawke came to power, you told your teachers at I think it's Smithfield Public School that you wanted to be prime minister.
CHRIS BOWEN: (Laughs) I'm not quite sure about the prime minister part. But I certainly have been very interested in politics for a very long time. I don't know why in particular. It's just something that you have in you.
I did come from a, you know, from the western suburbs of Sydney, not particularly the right side of the tracks. Pretty modest upbringing. My dad was a shift worker and my mum worked in childcare.
And I did come to the view pretty early that there was a mismatch of resources, that people in the western suburbs weren't getting a fair go. While our teachers worked very hard I had that sort of innate view we weren't getting our fair share of resources somehow. Not in a sophisticated way obviously as a kid, but a gut feeling.
And I came to the view again through intuition that politics was the way to do something about this and similar types of problems and that the Labor Party was the party that cared about these sorts of things.
So that's why, how I got involved in politics and in the Labor Party.
RICHARD AEDY: So when did you start writing the letters to the papers?
CHRIS BOWEN: Oh I started pretty young. I was a teenager.
RICHARD AEDY: And you joined the party at 15?
CHRIS BOWEN: Fifteen, yes.
RICHARD AEDY: And then you went into local politics. You were still very young weren't you?
CHRIS BOWEN: Yes I think I was, when I was elected to my local council, I was 22.
RICHARD AEDY: And mayor at 25.
CHRIS BOWEN: Yes.
RICHARD AEDY: Right. So by then you were certain that politics wasn't just an interest, it was going to be your career.
CHRIS BOWEN: Well I wanted it to be. Of course there's never much certainty around politics and there was always the big risk that I wouldn't win preselection or get into parliament.
But I clearly wanted to because I wanted to be involved in big decisions. I wanted to make a difference and always had the view that politics was the place to be. There are other very fine and noble professions, some of which I'd do if I, you know, didn't get into politics, but that I wanted to have at least a chance of being involved in big decisions.
RICHARD AEDY: I'm interested. What would you do if you weren't in politics do you think?
CHRIS BOWEN: Well I'm an economist by trade so I would've no doubt ended up in economics but also with a sort of social bent. And I could envisage myself working in a charitable sector as well.
RICHARD AEDY: All right so you moved you know fairly swiftly. It's all happened at a young age really. And in Government you've been assistant treasurer, you've minister for competition, policy and consumer affairs. Then into Cabinet with human services and minister for financial services and super and corporate law.
You must have expected that the next one, the next promotion would be finance.
CHRIS BOWEN: Ha! Well a lot of people expect it. And I certainly thought it might, there might be where I ended up next but I never particularly had a great expectation of it. It was certainly a clear option for the Prime Minister.
But I have a very old-fashioned view about these things. You can't plan your next move in politics. Almost always somebody else decides it for you when you're a minister. You wait by the phone for the call and when the prime minister says I want you to do this, you salute and you do it. And it might not be what you might have chosen if you had your druthers but you do it and you do it to the best of your ability.
RICHARD AEDY: All the same, when the Prime Minister said I want you to be immigration minister, a part of your heart must have sunk.
CHRIS BOWEN: Well there was an intake of breath, I don't deny that, when she said, "Chris, I'm ringing to ask you to be immigration minister." You know it wasn't necessarily a job I expected. But she said to me, look it's my toughest job in Cabinet and I really want you to do it. And you take that as a compliment and you don't say no.
RICHARD AEDY: It is a vote of confidence in you isn't it? You have to see it that way.
CHRIS BOWEN: Well, well, I think you have to. And obviously any Cabinet position is a great honour. And when the Prime Minister says to you, look, this is a very deep political problem and a policy problem and I need somebody to bring some policy innovation to it and think of some new ways of dealing with it and to communicate the Government's position with some energy and you're the person I'd like to do it, you do take that as a compliment.
RICHARD AEDY: Being a Cabinet minister is notoriously demanding, nobody has said to you it was easy, and especially when you have carriage of such a contentious and important area.
You're a dad. You've got…
CHRIS BOWEN: Two kids, yeah.
RICHARD AEDY: And they're young.
CHRIS BOWEN: Yeah.
RICHARD AEDY: Do you see them enough?
CHRIS BOWEN: Well you'd always like to see them more. I do make sure that I see them of course because it's my most important job. You know I've got other important jobs but my most important job is as their dad. So I make sure that I'm around for them.
Obviously the hardest part of the job is leaving them. And that happens for any Cabinet minister, any politician for that matter, far more than you'd like. And, you know, you leave on Sunday night or Monday morning for Canberra and you know you're not going to be back all week. And that's tough. That's tough on every father and mother in the Parliament.
But I also do make sure that, you know, that sometimes that means saying no to functions or saying no to things you'd like to do. But of course it means this is precious time at home and you take it.
RICHARD AEDY: It's more than what you're saying I think because being in Cabinet means essentially you're always on. The phone is always on. The Blackberry is always on. Something could always happen.;
CHRIS BOWEN: Yeah, absolutely.
RICHARD AEDY: And especially in your portfolio, if it does you've, you know, Thunderbirds are go. You're into the office and rolling really.
CHRIS BOWEN: Yes. That does happen. And there are times, as hard as it is, you sort of say well, you know, you'll never want to break a commitment to your kids or if you say you're going to do something you do it.
But then if you've got a crisis on your hands and the Prime Minister on the phone and, you know, every media outlet in the country asking where you are and what you're saying about whatever the particular crisis of the day is, then you do have to deal with it. And sometimes that does mean changing your plans and that's tough too.
RICHARD AEDY: Are they playing Saturday sport?
CHRIS BOWEN: Sunday sport. My daughter plays AFL, yeah. And Max, our little bloke, he's a little bit young for organised sport yet but he does swimming.
RICHARD AEDY: I mean you are still quite young, I think not 40 until next January.
CHRIS BOWEN: Yeah, still on the sunny side of 40, that's right.
RICHARD AEDY: You've been very successful. That comment about that you're not sure if you said about wanting to be prime minister, do you still, do you want to be prime minister?
CHRIS BOWEN: No. I'd like to be a Cabinet minister for at least 10 years and I'd like to do a range of jobs.
I've seen the prime-ministership up close. I've worked closely with two prime ministers and I've seen, obviously I've been in Parliament under three prime ministers. And I've seen the stresses and strains of the job. And I think the prime-ministership has its attractions in politics because you're running the show. Of course it does. But…
RICHARD AEDY: And it's the greatest opportunity to do things, which is what got you going in the first place.
CHRIS BOWEN: Sure, absolutely. Absolutely. But I also think, you know, you can, when you look at the lions of cabinets of, you know, say the 20, last 20 years under both governments, there are very formidable figures who've served in cabinets and made huge differences and provided intellectual weight and force to their governments. Just to pick a couple of names you could say Kim Beazley or Nick Minchin or even Tony Abbott, putting aside his current role. You can be in Cabinet - and obviously Peter Costello - and play a very significant role in a government and provide national leadership without necessarily becoming prime minister.
So I think obviously as I say the prime-ministership has its attractions in politics to almost every politician alive. If you didn't want to make big decisions you wouldn't be in politics and therefore the prime-ministership is the ultimate one. But there are plenty of other jobs that you can do the same in Parliament. And…
RICHARD AEDY: So you're not saying, guys, I'm never up for it. That's not what you're saying.
CHRIS BOWEN: The other thing about the prime-ministership is in effect you never retire. You see, if you're a Cabinet minister and then you leave politics, by and large after a few years you can walk down the street and not be completely, you know, recognised. Once you've been prime minister you're in it for life basically. Everybody knows who you are for in effect the rest of your life. So you're signing up for a bigger commitment. And that's I think a very big call.
RICHARD AEDY: I wouldn't ask you to rule it out because that'd be ridiculous. But I do remember reading once a couple of years ago that every single senator in the California legislature actually had the plan that one day they would be president.
CHRIS BOWEN: (Laughs) I'm sure that's right.
RICHARD AEDY: That's from the California legislature to president. I just, I just can't imagine that somebody who's not 40, who's already done what you've done, would actually say and really mean no I would never want to do it.
CHRIS BOWEN: Well what I'm saying is that it's not something, you know, sure some people think that every politician wakes up every day saying well how am I going to get closer to being prime minister today.
And what I'm saying is, it's not what makes me tick. There's a whole lot more to life. And I've seen people, you know, really lust after, you know, the top job in politics. And I think that can be counter-productive. And you focus on the job you have today.
And I'd be, what I'm saying is, Richard I would describe it this way, I would retire from politics very happy and fulfilled and satisfied if I'd been a Cabinet minister for 10 years.
RICHARD AEDY: Chris Bowen is the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship. You can hear this interview again, either stream it or download the podcast, from our website: abc.net.au/radionational.
The program is produced by Connie Agius. I'm Richard Aedy. Hope you can join me next week.

Financial Reform in Limbo
We've got good news and bad news today. The bad news is that Harry Reid tried to invoke cloture on financial reform and failed. The good news is that it's primarily because a couple of Democratic senators voted against cloture in order to give themselves time to introduce amendments that would make the legislation tougher.
If it works — if their amendments pass quickly and cloture gets invoked soon — it will have been worth it. But if the bill gets delayed much longer, it's in trouble. The reason, as usual, is Republican obstructionism. Ezra Klein explains:
It's worth saying why Reid wants to move to a final vote. The answer is floor time. Next week, the Senate is scheduled to take up the next war supplemental, which will have funding both for Iraq and Afghanistan and also for various disaster-relief efforts, and it will take up a bill to extend economic supports for the jobless. If the Senate doesn't finish financial regulation this week, it probably can't do those bills next week because the GOP's routine filibusters mean that each vote will require days of floor time. And the plan, as of now, is for the Senate to adjourn come Memorial Day. Of course, the Senate could just choose to work past memorial Day, which would solve the problem of floor time.
Most Republican filibusters aren't really meant to kill bills. In fact, in a lot of cases, once the bills finally come to the floor they get overwhelming Republican support. What they're meant to do is delay. The longer it takes to pass bills, the fewer bills get passed. Mitch McConnell knows that financial reform is going to pass eventually, and given the anti-Wall Street sentiment among the electorate it's likely that a lot of Republicans will feel like they have to vote for it. But if you can make it eat up a lot of floor time, it means Democrats can't do much of anything else. And as far as Republicans are concerned, the less that Democrats can do the better.

Comments about Crusher Hat - White:
Unlike the review below mine, I think this hat is made very well. It is of very light weight breathable material, so the kids keep cool in the hot sun. It does keep it's stylish shape when its wet and it dries quickly. Furthermore, my son actually keeps it on his head because there are no straps around his chin or anything annoying or hot hanging down- we just pop it on and he's quickly distracted. I love this hat. He outgrew the first size we bought and we're buying the next size up now!

Planned Parenthood march against Obamacare repeal
"With this disaster of a bill dead and buried, I hope that we can get to work."
Dave Rice 6:30 p.m., March 24
There may be no free lunches in this world, but free dinners are another matter, at least when the City's bond underwriters are picking up the tab and the diner is Jay M. Goldstone, top aide to San Diego mayor Jerry Sanders. Goldstone, whose official title is chief operating officer, attended a "bond closing dinner" held to commemorate the "sale of city's water bonds" on February 2 of last year. Morgan Stanley, which managed the bond issue, picked up the check, valued on Goldstone's recently filed statement of economic interests at $129. The month before, the City's Public Facilities Financing Authority had sold $157 million worth of debt in the form of water revenue bonds through a syndicate led by Morgan.
Then last June 24, it was Banc of America and Citibank's turn to do the honors, paying $166 for Goldstone's meal at a closing dinner for the sale of a City sewer bond issue. In that case, $453.8 million in debt was issued. Chowing down with Goldstone at both events was Mary Lewis, the mayor's chief financial officer.
Wall Street firms weren't the only ones to feed Goldstone's face. Public Policy Strategies, the campaign consulting and lobbying outfit run by the mayor's top political guru, Tom Shepard, paid $200 so Goldstone could make an appearance at the Golden Watchdog and Fleece Awards dinner thrown last May 13 by the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, a business interest lobbying group. Many other mayoral staffers also got free passes to that event from various special interests.
Merriam Mountains, the Escondido-based development outfit whose controversial 2700-unit subdivision was voted down earlier this year by county supervisors, gave Stephen Michael Lew, the mayor's director of community outreach, a $200 ticket. Gerry Braun, director of the mayor's special projects, got in thanks to the Westfield Group, owner of Horton Plaza and other big shopping centers. The Barona Indian tribe paid for community and legislative affairs policy director Julie Dubick's admission. Denice Garcia, a community outreach staffer, went courtesy of cell-phone giant Qualcomm. Deputy policy director Philip Rath reported owing his attendance at the dinner to Poseidon Resources, the desalination firm that is a regular donor to various Sanders causes. Unlike the others, deputy press secretary Rachel Gibb Laing valued her admission to the event, reportedly received directly from the Taxpayers Association, at $135. Her boss, director of communications Darren Pudgil, also reported that his ticket, worth $200, came from the association.
Obviously top city officials won't be found in line at the Grab&Go sub shops... as they might actually be exposed to voters and the rest of the unwashed masses...

Natural-gas prices will stay the same next month for Columbia Gas of Ohio customers as warmer weather cuts the need for home heating.
The utility asked state regulators yesterday to let it charge $1.02 per 100 cubic feet in June, the same rate the utility requested in May. The June rate is down 2 cents from the same period a year ago. The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio typically approves such requests.
The average customer bill next month should be $41, the company said.

Washington County Riverboat Foundation Meetings Tonight
