Word-whore. I write 'em. I talk 'em. Information, politics, media, and the cybers. I drink. I use bad words. All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris! Vive les poissons rouges sauvages!
While writing about the Citizenship Test, I realised they’d forgotten to ask an important question about our national symbols. See if you know the answer. If you’re reading this in an RSS reader, go to the website to vote.

Last week’s results: Sadly for the Snarky Platypus, “I really want to see a remake of Flashdance” received only one vote. The clear winner was “A bit more to the left, and with a bit more velocity.”
Did anyone understand that poll?
If you listen closely to the conversations between you and your friends, you’ll discover tiny little phrases that reveal who you really are.
So this week’s poll — yes, I know it’s a week late, deal with it! — asks you to choose from a number of phrases the one you’re most likely to use in conversation. Go to the website to vote.

Last week’s results: Yes, without a doubt, Duran Duran is the greatest band in the history of pop.
Enough of the politics! Just answer me this, boys and girls: Who’s the greatest pop band in the history of music?

Last week’s results: By a very slim margin, most voters would prefer to see Senator Natasha Stott-Despoja sing Samanta Fox’s Touch Me.
Wow. Natasha Stott-Despoja has edged into the lead as the politician you’d most like to see sing Samantha Fox’s Touch Me. It looks like I’m the only one who was interested in Helen Coonan. I’ll leave the poll open until midnight Thursday night Sydney time, just to make sure. Vote at the website.
OK, I normally do the Weekly Poll on the weekend. But I’ve been so distracted by Julie Bishop that I’ll leave the current poll online for another day.
In early voting, Margaret Thatcher is emerging as the erotic favourite to sing Touch Me at 36% ahead of Julie Bishop and Natasha Stott-Despoja tied on 18%. I’m guessing that’s because my non-Australian readers don’t known who the others are. Perhaps I should have included Madeleine Allbright, Golda Mier, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Queen Elizabeth II.
