Rubénerd!

I bow to the awesomeness of Edible_Hat!

Contained within my [uncharacteristically] serious post about the South Aussie elections yesterday I hinted that I'd be discussing #octopusbattle today. Edible_hat beat me to it by creating an epic work of art and accompanying notes, so in the spirit of not reinventing the wheel I will simply refer you to his post on the matter!

Here's a sneak peak:

[...] and as Chairman Kaga was laughing a gigantic octopus launched itself at the politicians, sending them into a mad panic. Mike Rann was able to dodge the kerfuffle, leading many to believe he was worthy of a second term, but only just. I am Edible_Hat, hear me roar! Do Octopuses roar? I know raw means it's sushi. Monnie was supposed to make me cupcakes today, but she gave them all to her roommates and Ruben instead, grrrr. At least I can make better scarfs than Ruben, mua har har!

Quite a big swing against Labor, but looks like they're back for another term in South Australia, the outcome is less clear for Tasmania. And to think just a few years ago even the Singapore news was awash of Labor's federal win, I wonder what the results would be if there were a national election tomorrow?

I was pleased with Labor's win over the Libs in the state and federal elections last time, but this internet filtering and Michael Atkinson nonsense leaves me somewhat disappointed. Then again, what would the alternative be? :(

Discussion about the #octopusbattle will be undertaken tomorrow as I have already blogged far too much this evening. Good night.
