Bush beats Kerry, Google conquers Earth

Send us a text

🗳️ This week, we’re time-traveling to the 2004 U.S. presidential election – where Bush edged out Kerry in a nail-biter that had it all: missing WMDs, National Guard gossip, Patriot Act debates, and a whirlwind of controversies. The result? Bush grabs a second term, thanks partly to a campaign heavy on security and “moral values” … and Kerry's reputation as a professional flip-flopper. 😆

🛰️ Meanwhile, Google’s out there snapping up satellite-imaging tech with their $35 million purchase of Keyhole – the OG app that put “Zoom Out” on the map and paved the way for Google Earth 🌎. Imagine a world without Street View fails… we can’t either.

🎶 Music hits hard too! Delta’s dreamy “Out of the Blue” is topping Aussie charts, Ja Rule’s “Wonderful” is heating up the UK, and Nelly’s country-hip-hop collab “Over and Over” is sparking controversy. P.S. He’s relaunching Apple Bottoms – nostalgia overload! 🍑

🎬 Plus, we dive into Pixar’s latest hit The Incredibles, with our fave suburban superheroes – and take a peek at the “Shall We Dance” craze sweeping Aussie cinemas.
