    What next for the Big D ?

    After his stint in Government, I sincerely hope he will retire to write his eagerly awaited opus magnum "Fuck! Swearpocalypse. How I learned to stop being such a cunt and love swearies!"

    Sterling work from the Reg, as usual :-)

    Dziuba for politics

    The world would be a much better place if Dziuba never wrote anything in The Reg again, so if I had known about this poll, I would have voted with two hands for him to get into politics and out of technical writing. I am glad he won !

    Congrats!

    Thank You, Everyone

    I would just like to thank everyone who didn't vote for me for not voting for me. I am very busy at the moment and the additional responsibilities would have been onerous.

    Paris, because she didn't vote for me (I know this for a fact because no one voted for me).

    Missing footnote?

    >"Now turn over to see why America* voted as it did..."

    Normally I'd expect to see a footnote relating to that.

    Unless of course I've misunderstood, and we aren't talking about the CTO of America, but of some other unrelated country called "Americasterisk" of which I was formerly unaware.

    And yeh. I'd vote for amfM any day of the week!

    What about

    the BOFH? Did no one here write in a vote for him? I must confess that I forgot about him, but think about all the politicians (bosses) that could be made to disappear.

    I still think it should be Dick Cheney

    Maybe he could figure out a way to power teh internets by burning lawyer carcasses. I know several lawyers I'd like him to take on a short hunting trip.

    Unfortunately...

    Mentioning no names,but a certain Martian readed voted for all five candidates at once.

    That just shows how far Martians are ahead of us, I guess.
