Where Are All the RWDBs?

Ken Parish at Troppo is bored with the constant right / left wing 'labelling contest' that regularly occurs in the blogging world. He has suggested that bloggers take the 'political compass' test to find out where they stand in the political spectrum.
To facilitate the comparison of individuals in the Aus Blogger political spectrum, Tim Lambert has set up a system to graph the results of anyone who cares to take the test to show where they stand relative to each other.
The Pigs lie at ....

They're not usually shy about showing where they stand. Hopefully, word gets to them so they can participate and let the rest of us know just how right wing they really are.
