Who is your preferred Prime Minister? #Kevin07 #Julia10 #Someone11

Following my previous post Kevin07 to Julia10 to Someone11. Because so much of politics, is based on opinion polls. I needed to ask the question.

Just remeber that this is just as scientific as any Newspoll.


Kevin07 to Julia10 to Someone11

Over the last twenty-four hours, Australia saw an end to the Prime Ministership of Kevin Rudd. All I can say is I am disappointed at the way it was handled by the Labor Party (as a party member and voter).

Notwithstanding the momentous event of the ‘election’ of our first female Prime Minister. Congrats to Julia, by the way.

This is the kind of crazy stuff that keeps the Labor Party in opposition. But the thing is that we’re in Government.

Some of my tweets from last night.
JinOhChoi reminds the ALP caucus that not voting @KevinRuddPM and voting for Julia Gillard doesn’t guarantee a win. #spill #alpvoter

JinOhChoi Put aside ‘electing’ 1st fem PM. Is @KevinRuddPM that bad, that the ALP have turned. This is the crazy we do in opp & not in Govt? #spill

JinOhChoi RT @the_kennel: ALP wastes a perfectly good Prime Minister http://bit.ly/bZ06CR #spill

JinOhChoi RT @themolk Dear @KevinRuddPM Nobody deserves what you got in the last 24hrs. Thank you for everything you’ve done. Some of us still like you. :)

This is my two cents worth for the time being. I’m sure I’ll be saying a dollar’s worth.

Banner, Double Helix and @cotku


Firstly, I would love to say a big thank you to the lovely @cotku who was kind enough to design my new banner for my blog based on the Double Helix.

For those interested more about the Double Helix and DNA I urge you to listen to James Dewey Watson one of the winners of The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1962.

for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1962

Thanks again, @cotku. :) lol

The Brainstorm – Richard Dawkins and Podblack Cat

Not much in this post except a cartoon from atheistcartoons.com which also features Richard Dawkins and Podblack ie. Kylie Sturgess. :)

Read Kylie’s Blog the PodBlack Cat – Science, Superstitions and Skeptical Life and listen to her podcast the Token Skeptic. (Richard doesn’t need any more advertising.) lol :)
