On Friday the 6th of Feb 2009 I had to make the decision to put my Cat of only 5 years to sleep due to a server bladder infection. This post is nothing more than a reminder for me of what a great pet he really was. He was fantastic with my Son, all that I could ask for. I’m sorry Basil. RIP.

The lack of interest I have in Americas politics is more probably the reason why I’m asking ‘who the F*&^ is Ron Paul’. My lack of interest in American Politics was cemented a long time ago when Bush was re-elected (Smart move people). I can only guess the mass rat race that is the lead up to the election has begun in the US – or has it been running for some time?

What’s my problem – The internet, a word wide source of information, is flooded with American Political crap, and digg is one of the worst offenders. Ron Paul does this, Ron Paul does that, Ron Paul saved a kiddy from a burning building (no disrespect to the people of California).

Is he seriously this popular, or is the powerhouse of a political party he’s with spamming online news sites with Pro Ron Paul advertisements

What’s even worse is he’s now infecting my brand new “Digg Bigspy” screen saver with massive “Ron Paul” in huge letters! Right now I have “Students for Ron Paul Goes Live! 179”. ARUGH!

Australia is coming up to an federal election, and our news services (print, radio, TV and YouTube(!)) have been flooded with the usual crap banter, falls promises and baby hugging – but I can’t stay I’ve seen one article about Little Johnny Howard or Union lap boy Kevin Rudd (can you see who’ll receive my vote) here on dig.

I know this article isn’t going to achieve anything apart from some heated flaming from US citizens who are behind Mr. Paul, but for all the people in the rest of the word who are sick and bloody tired of seeing “Ron Paul” splashed all over our famed news and feeds sites. Digg it and Digg it good!

My 5 cents – and that’s seriously all it’s worth

You The Designer has put together a list of 99 internet sites that are a must for any graphic designer – seasoned or beginner.

Many of these I already use and there is a tone more. Great list!
