London Calling - Moral pygmies

I am just a lowly blogger, wondering whether I should criticise Saint Bob or pass a comment on Africa at all. God knows, I am a racist Anglo who wants nothing more than to see black people suffer. I suppose I must have subconsciously rejoiced as Mugabe’s bulldozers buried [...]

The Daily Ablution - A Few Loose Ends

The first bit. I wish our newspapers would get off their sanctimonious, self-delusionary high-horses. They’d be a lot more interesting.

Ace of Spades - Andrew Sullivan Advisory: Redlining

It’s funny that Excitable Andy uses the phrase “hysterical attacks” to castigate his opponents but continues using highly-emotional language like “sickening” like he was writing a f—ing H.P. Lovecraft horror-story. I expect him to next describe Karl Rove’s lair as being constructed of [...]

Chrenkoff - Australian hostage speaks

I wish our media would cover him. It’s just full of great content, and I don’t know how much Aruban-Tom-Holmes-Supreme-Shark news I can take.

The Australian - Mugabe’s crimes a blight on Africa

WITH unemployment at 70 per cent, inflation over 100 per cent and about a quarter of its 12 million people living with HIV/AIDS, Zimbabwe seemed to have arrived at the bottom of the pit. Things, surely, could not get worse? They have. [...]
