Mixed lollies
George Bush loves the UN. John Howard is deeply concerned about global warming and prepared to invest billions to stop it. Labour is pissing me off. What is the world coming to?Stephen likes Mark Steyn whether he takes his pants off or not. He notes Chase Me Ladies has banned North Korean products, well he would if they had any (stop press, they do!). He also finds some fellow travellers in Russia and this from Tim Blair.
Stephen also finds an anti-Michael Moore from Romania - he's pro business and skinny. And he likes conversations with fraudsters on YouTube, Salman unrepentant and people power a la Farrar.
Mark likes this on Rupert the kingmaker and this on Stephen Colbert (and what a good headline).
From Chris, via Richard Cooper of Thoughtcat, this Times piece about a British busker who led a prestigious book publisher on a "merry dance" with his fake history of ancient music.
Jazz rock, or 'fusion' as it was known when Chris was a lad, has got a bad rap from the music world. But this band was among the best there ever was. Weather Report play on a German TV show, performing one of their best-known tracks, Black Market.
George Gilder of Wired somewhat previously calls it "the petabyte age" and reckons the desktop is dead. Well not before bloody time, Chris says. Arts and Letters Daily reckons we'll soon have massive facilities across the globe in which all the data we'll ever use is store.
Ciao.

Does Stephen really like Mark Steyn? That column is a poorly-written, unfunny ramble that completely misses the point (which you could argue makes it classic Steyn fare).
It appears that Hastert knew Foley was grooming these kids years ago and did nothing, even when Foley appointed himself chief hunter of online sexual predators, and even after a couple of the kids sought help. And it comes off a bit strange given Steyn's previous pronouncements about homosexuals ...

I prefer Saletan:
Eight years ago, when Bill Clinton was caught lying about his affair with a White House intern, Mark Foley voted to impeach him. "It's vile," said the congressman. "It's more sad than anything else, to see someone with such potential throw it all down the drain because of a sexual addiction."
As we say on the Internet: LOL. We now know that Clinton and Foley were on different teams, but not in the way Foley pretended.
(Not that there's, err, anything wrong with that. Or is there? I don't know any more ... Truthiness on all sides.)
Might I humbly suggest that anyone who is pissed off with Labour over the Herceptin decision is ill informed dupe of vested groups?
You may, and after reading Russell's post on the subject, as I suspect you did, you'd probably be right.
