I find it not a little disturbing that the vast majority of visitors come here by way of a Google search for nude photos of Julia Gillard! This is the reason why they come, ergo the reason the post appears in Google’s search results but is anyone able to explain to me why one would be Googling for images of Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister in her birthday suit?

No disrespect Julia but there’s only one thing slightly more disturbing and that would be the notion that some people search for explicit imagery of Kevin Rudd!

For those of you who have arrived here in the false hope of seeing The Honourable Ms Gillard in the buff, I apologise for the anti-climax but offer the following snippet of trivia instead…

…the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia was born in Wales, no less and if you’ve read anything else on here, the significance of that statement will be clear.

Waving it for Wales!

At his meeting with Queen Elizabeth our Prime Minister Kevin Rudd turned to the Queen and said, “As I’m the Prime Minister, I’m thinking of changing how my great country is referred to, and I’m thinking that it should be a Kingdom.”

The Queen replied, “I’m sorry Mr. Rudd, but to be a Kingdom, you have to have a King in charge and you’re not a King.”

Rudd thought a while and then said: “How about a Principality then?”

To which the Queen replied, “Again, to be a Principality you have to be a Prince and you’re not a Prince, Mr. Rudd.”

Rudd thought long and hard and came up with “How about an Empire then?”

Kevin and the queen

The Queen, getting a little annoyed by now, replied, “Sorry again, Mr. Rudd, but to be an Empire you must have an Emperor in charge and you are not an Emperor.”

Before Rudd could utter another word, the Queen said, “I think you’re doing quite nicely as a country.”
