This comes from Foreign Policy:

While the news from Darfur keeps getting worse, the United States seems to be the only country in the world where the atrocities resonate and trigger some sort of response. During a rally protesting the role of Sudan’s government in front of its Embassy in DC, five members of Congress had [...]

Woo hoo!
Yeah, I haven’t got much to say, it’s early in the morning and I have shopping to do. I did my fruit and veg shopping yesterday at a place in a local village, super cheap local produce. Now I have to get stuff for the week.
Interesting news today: Mexico is decriminalizing street drugs. I [...]

I have to say that today, after reading a little snippet in the Daily Mail about Iran purchasing long-range missiles that can now reach Europe, I am a little more worried than I was about the crazy regime in Iran.
There’s a lot of chatter about it in the blogosphere of course, a lot of it [...]

I have been watching my incoming links lately, seeing who is looking at what, and more and more in the past week or so I’ve seen hits coming from images.google.com, and 99% of them looking at smokerslung.gif that I had posted a while back.
Which leads me to ask a question - of my friends that [...]

Maybe I should say, “blogosphere pants down”?
A lot of the Hosting Matters blogs were attacked/hacked, supposedly originating from Saudi Arabia. This left a lot of the large blogs, and I presume many small ones too, down and out. But you can’t keep a good blogger down, they have, or will, come back.

I know that Prince Harry is following in his mother’s footsteps, and it’s all very nice and all, but honestly I think that he should look after his own country’s citizens before asking for money for other country’s citizens in his new charity. That may be selfish in a way, but he’s OUR prince. He [...]

Google has released yet another Google freebie - Sketchup.
Apparently this one allows you to draw 3D models. Can’t say I’ve used it, but I can’t say I’m surprised Google has come out with something else either.
And while we’re on the matter, why can’t I use Google Maps to see my house via satellite, Google?

Today in the Daily Mail there were numerous pages about the Deputy PM, Prescott (forgive me if I don’t insert the “Right Honourable”), and his affair with some dumb blonde.

Finally, the Scots have a use for all that windy weather they get. From my sole experience up there, a “little breeze” is a force 7 gale. Hardy people, them Scots.
But now at least they can get something from it apart from having their kilts blown up - Europe’s largest onshore windfarm. Not a [...]

Not ‘arf! To use the cockney speak.
The petrol prices here are a real eye opener. I wish a few of my American friends could pay THESE prices for a week or two. They’d be thunderstruck. I paid £19.97 the other day and my little Clio got about two thirds of a tank. I talked to [...]
