h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am proud to announce that I have pledged my support for Hypatia's campaign to become Virtual President of h2g2.

Having met Hyp when she visited the UK earlier this year, I know her to be charming, concerned, erudite, but occasionally grumpy enough to deserve the P.U.D.D.I.N.G. vote. I feel sure that she'd do a fine job as President.

Indeed, so committed am I to Hyp's campaign that I have agreed to serve as her Spinmeister. I shall endeavour to act as a sort of slimmer Karl Rove, or a less scandal-prone Peter Mandelson.

However, in the spirit of grace and dignity for which our candidate stands, I shall not be seeking to smear our opponents. Honest. You may feel that Clive The Flying Ostrich tends to bury his head in the sand - I couldn't possibly comment. And the forthcoming 'Unfit To Be Served - Pub Veterans Speak Out Against 2Legs' is utterly scurrilous and has nothing whatsoever to do with our campaign.

The last election candidate whose campaign I actively supported is now the Member of Parliament for Leeds North West. I feel sure that Hypatia can secure similar success. Details of her Ozark Party platform may be found here: A5645531 . The list of her supporters is growing by the day, and I urge you to join us.

Some fellow Lib dem you are.

I've just renewed my Lib Dem membership, DD. I believe that membership of the LDs is compatible with Ozark Party activism.

And anyway, do the folks in Livingston know that you advocate voter apathy?

"And anyway, do the folks in Livingston know that you advocate voter apathy?"

They probably don't care.

It took me 10 seconds to get over the shock of the subject line to realise what you were on about, Ormy

>I shall endeavour to act as a sort of slimmer Karl Rove


And it's well done already

Actually Ormy I see this as a challenge to get the vote out for something I don't belive in so soon after getting the vote out for something we both belive in.

Any plans to come to sunny Scotland soon Ormy? September is a wopnderful month to come visit.

Sorry, DD - I'm far too busy with the start of a new academic year. And, of course, this crucial virtual campaign.

If you had asked me to come up with a list of Journal titles that you never think you will see, this one would have been right up there for me!
