WOOT GLASS CEILING!Follow

I'm so happy!

I have a new Prime Minister!
This is her.
Her name is Julia Gillard.

She's our first female Prime Minister.
If you look up the CIA World Factbook, or Wikipedia, you find out that there have been LOTS of women Heads of State around the world during the last century.
But this is my (Australia's) very own first female Prime Minister.
Bonus: She's very very smart, and a wonderful performer in Parliament, always on her verbal toes.
Extra Special Bonus: of the two main parties, she leads the party I prefer most.
Small side bonus for us contemporaries, she's an atheist, and has for many years not been married to our new First Gentleman.

I love her. <3



Her parents were very poor coal-miners in Wales, and remain in modest circumstances. She herself was born in Wales and her parents moved to Australia for the health of her sickly lungs. She grew up here when your first single or double University degree was entirely free, entrance due on merit. She took a double B.A. and B.Law, and joined and eventually led the Student Union. She was a lawyer for a short time, but came up through the union ranks and into politics fairly young.

Hey yeah. They both are very fine boned in the face, with slender noses. I know a lot of people hated Constantine, but I loved Tilda Swinton as the angel in that movie. Also in Orlando, and in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Both of them are also generally, but not always, red-haired.

So this is a red-letter day for the ginger minges too!

I actually really liked Constantine and I think Tilda Swinton is an interesting actress.

There's lots of reasons Canada and Australia are sister nations. You'll come down with it soon enough.

The opportunity to complain about things and yell at people know no bounds...

She looks like a older willow off buffy the vampire slayer. evil eyes!

I'd hit it.

"prefer most"? Really?

prefer on its own implies it is.... preferential.

"most preferred" is acceptable, though.

preferredest

I keep think Pensive is posting, but then I realize it is Kavekk.

I would accept you telling them both to **** off, as neither has any place correcting you.

I don't wear rugs, as a rule.



Yeah, that's fine. More and most aren't because they're meaningless with respect to that word. Similarly, you can be much better than something else but not more better.



What do you mean when you say "think?" And, indeed, for that matter, "I"?

I demand that all terms in this post be rigorously defined!
