Profile
John Wilkins is an eternal student, who thinks philosophy of biology is at least as interesting as politics or sport and twice as important. He has a PhD from the University of Melbourne and a position as a Sessional Lecturer at the University of Queensland, in Australia. After a varied career, involving factories, gardening, civil service, publishing, graphics, public relations but not, unfortunately for the CV, driving a truck, John finally completed his thesis on species concepts in 2004, which he has worked into two books.
This blog is designed evolved to host any random thoughts that happen to be passing through my forebrain at a given moment. So there will be errors...

Lollerskates.
This could be the start of a new net-meme.

Best celebrity endorsement ever!
Posted by: decrepitoldfool | March 28, 2008 7:28 AM
So long as it's understood that this is an endorsement of a celebrity, and not in any sense by one.

I was rather hoping that we could vote *for* Snowflake.

Sigh. Another person goes ape over Obama...
*ducks*

Such wisdom in those eyes ...

Just a guess but, isn't snowflake like me and has no say in what the former colonies vote for.
I know that it's awful but the benighted USAians get to choose their leaders without input from their betters.
Hey!! Come to think of it so do those 'strines.

Hmmmphh! Not unless he ditches that so-called pastor.
Hillary in '08! (Tee-hee!)

I'ld rather you be the celebrity rather than the cabdidate.
Posted by: Chris' Wills | March 28, 2008 8:02 PM
Oh bother.
No insult intended, if you happened to be the candidate and I had a vote in your election you would receive it.
What I meant was that I would hope that the candidate was a candidate for reasons other than being a celebrity.

Very nice, Snowflake. I just say McCain's "The American President Americans Have Been Waiting For" ad. His pitiful POW scene somehow reminded me of "The Manchurian Candidate". Must have been a flashback.
