The Australian Democrat Countdown - Day 3

Did you know there are only 122 days left until the Australian Democrats do not have a representative in parliament.

That is unless they get 1000 new members to the party.

122 may also be the number of excuses made if the recruitment drive goes pear shaped

The Australian Democrat Countdown - Day 2

Did you know there are only 123 days left until the Australian Democrats do not have a representative in parliament.

That is unless they get 1000 new members to the party.

123 is also the number of episodes of the tv series Mod Squad which ran 1984 - 1985

The Australian Democrat Countdown - Day 1

Do you realise there are only 124 more days left until the Australian Democrats cease to have a parliamentry representative.

That is of course unless they get their 1000 members.

Political Websites , How Hard Can They Be

If you want information on  ,say the Liberal party or it's politicians, you would go to the Liberal party website.
If you wanted information on the Labor party or it's politicians , you would go to the Labor website.
If you wanted information on the Australian Democrats in South Australia or it's politician , you would go to it's website and here the chase begin.
Going to the SA Democrats website and you will end up at the " Straight Talk On Tough Issues Website " with the last news items from Feb 09 and not much to advertise it is related to the Australian Democrats.
Then if you want ,you can go to David Winderlich's site which is under the" David Says link" and you will end up at another site the " David Winderlich Site"
However David has now moved to another site with a redirect on the old site.
So you go to David's new site which looks very nice and on the navigation is a link to the South Australian Democrats Site , no not the one I talked about at the beginning , but a new site , and if you want you can follow the link to a new South Australian Democrats site or just give up.

Another Cow Fart Story

I am sorry but with headlines like this there is little wonder why some do not put their faith in the so called climate change experts.

Cow farts worse than all coal fired power stations combined

A Clear Message From Our Prime Minister

Our Prime Minister , Kevin Rudd , is again overseas ,and after a meeting with the German Chancellor made the following quote at a press conference.

"It is highly unlikely that anything will emerge from the MEF in terms of detailed programmatic specificity ... that is what Copenhagen is about.

Another clear political message for the masses from the master communicator.

What Was This Man's Name ?

Sometimes in the midst of tragedy we all make mistakes as does this reporter when talking to the well known "spoon bender " and Psychic , Uri Geller.
Listen carefully to the introduction.


And by the way, doesn't Uri sound like Count Dracula

Choose Your Coaches Carefully

The other night I was at a get together of The Start Up Club Adelaide and to quote from their facebook page.

"The Startup Club Adelaide is a group of 400 highly motivated entrepreneurs, technologists and future thinking professionals. We meet face to face once a fortnight to discuss small business strategy, creative marketing, investing and general success over lunch and a beer."

At the meeting we met a 21 year old " Life Coach " who appeared to be " rolling with his entourage ".

Now I am all for people making a career choice but a "21 year old Life Coach".

Business and Life coaches should be judged on whether they have some sort of experience in their chosen field as you can only learn so much out of a book.
