Fun Online Polls: Jessica Ennis and the next Archbishop of Canterbury

The results to last week's Fun Online Poll are as follows:

Who is Team GB's cutest athlete?

Jessica Ennis - 20 votes

One of the beach volleyball team - 18
Shana Cox - 0
Other, please specify - 9


'Others' included two nominations for Victoria Pendleton, nowhere near enough to knock Jessica Ennis off her perch.

This week's Fun Online Poll is also from the vast realm of "topics about which we know little and care less". Read the form guides here and here and then vote here or use the widget in the sidebar.

It's a bit worrying that I've been doing caricatures for so long they are now caricatures of "formers" and "exes": I hope the next guy is as easy to draw.

I don't remember anybody voting for his policies either...

"Archbishop slams David Cameron for criticising policy"

From The Evening Standard:

The Archbishop of Cantebury today attacked the Prime Minister after he claimed the Church of England was pushing through radical policies "for which no one voted".

The Archbishop said: "The Prime Minister is entirely free to express political views. But what I would say is that I profoundly disagree with many of the views that he has expressed, particularly on issues like debt and welfare and education."

Mr David Cameron was accused of ranting and getting his facts wrong following his astonishing criticism.

The senior politician had attacked Dr William's Skye Faerie initiative. In a Spectator article, Mr Cameron said the Church was facing "bafflement and indignation" over its health and education plans, adding: "There is an understandable anxiety about what state religion means in such a context..."

Radovan Karadzic - master of disguise

Here's Rad in his most famous personae, the alleged war criminal:When they finally caught up with him, he had adopted the Rowan Williams look and was working as a mystic healer:Which is quite surprising, given that character's obscurity. What never ceases to amaze is that they never spotted him in his rôle as satirist, broadcast weekly across half Europe. Or perhaps that's why he faked his own death back in 1998?

Rowan Williams arrested!

Shurely shome mishtake here?

Neil Craig offers an interesting contrarian view on all this, which I feel he devalues somewhat by excessive use of the "N" word.
