Saturday, November 06, 2004. SATURDAY NIGHT HAVER: A LEFTY EXPLODES. Look, the US election was a close one, not a landslide, and only 37% of the US considers itself 'reborn', not the whole country! So let's not fall over ourselves jettisoning all we hold dear to fit in with some brand new social reality, eh? Ten years before that, Pat Buchanan suggested to Richard Nixon the declaration of a cultural war along precisely such lines. Josh Marshall. So that's my blog-length answer to Mark Schmitt's. Question...

Friday, April 01, 2005. I am informed the new Blogorrhoea is completely and permanently kaput. This unfortunate event has coincided with one or two others at the blogoshed, so a protracted silence is indicated. Ceteris reasonably paribus, blogorrhoeaic dismarrhoea should resume in the Spring. BFN and iyi geceler, arkadaslar. Para; 4:38 AM. Political economic and cultural observations in the register of dismal dilettantism. View my complete profile. The Road to Surfdom. Mr Zilla goes to Washington.

Friday, August 23, 2002. Ken Parish is cross with Ali Baktiari. Apparently, 'the primary. Responsibility for the plight of detained children of bogus refugees lies. With their parents.' Ken also finds it heart-warming to see Honest Johnny. Sinking the slipper into 'bleeding heart' refugee advocates. I'll give Ken this much: unlike Blogistan's hard right, he knows a bit. About refugees. He knows, for instance, that the world today produces. Countries that themselves can hardly afford to look after them).

Tuesday, July 16, 2002. Reflections on the Revolution in our Universities:. According to the Education Act of 1989, the university is at least one patch in our institutional fabric where the freedom is extended to informed citizens, staff and students alike, "to question and test received wisdom, to put forward new ideas and to state controversial or unpopular opinion". Learning to make something of ourselves in no context in particular is an impossibility; and the context appears not only in what is lea...

Friday, August 09, 2002. Have spent the morning chewing on the world's business pages. Not a. Nourishing breakfast, really . Globalisation' may not have looked too synchronised while the hegemon. Seemed to be going well, but it sure looks synchronised when it's not. There are more multi-billion-dollar bankruptcies to come (no way can all. The remaining telecoms ride this glut - massive destruction of capital. Looms in that sector) and some significant investment banks may be. News for Europe, which depen...

Thursday, November 11, 2004. LEST WE KEEP FORGETTING. Eighty-six years ago a war that need never have started, and could not then be stopped until one side was broken by sheer attrition, ended . thus putting in place the conditions for another. A Colonel Repington knew as much in 1919, when he proposed as a name for the grand tragedy just passed 'The First World War'. And "God save the King! God this, God that, and God the other thing. "Good God" said God, "I've got my work cut out! Para; 6:03 AM. Politi...

Thursday, November 18, 2004. ASSORTED DISMAL BLEATS OCCASIONED BY AN AVERAGE DAY'S BLOGSURF. And I shouldn't keep quoting Colonel Kurtz, who suggested those who go to war must be prepared to make a friend of horror. The horror of which he spoke is precisely the horror that was Margaret Hassan's appalling murder. The colonel would advise us to resist invitations to see Ms Hassan's murderers as mere evil psychopaths. They are merely the necessary product of guerrilla warfare. In that light, poor Margaret H...

Friday, October 29, 2004. JUST IN FROM THE TALLY ROOM. The neo-cons' invasion causes 100 000 'excess deaths'. That's just the 'excess' slaughter, mind you . And what does our noble Minister for Offence have to say about it? Unfortunately there will always be, always be some civilian casualties.". Not if you don't bomb 'em just like Western Civilisation did when it killed 250000 of 'em last time. Or impoverish 'em, like it did for a decade after that. I don't doubt a lot of Iraqis would love democracy.

Saturday, August 31, 2002. LOSE, LOSE SCENARIORRHOEA. The US Yahoo marketwatchers at http:/ quote.yahoo.com/mt? U reckon that punters do not see a double dip in the offing. "The factors contributing to that positive assessment included the report of a 1.0% gain in personal spending in July, a Univ. of Michigan consumer sentiment survey that was largely in line with expectations .". So the great US consoomer (so often framed as heroic world saviour) is that bit more in debt. It ain't any more. Not lea...

Tuesday, September 10, 2002. BLOGORRHOEIC DISMALISM: Of Blogistan, S11, and The Aftermath. Nowhere is Blogistan more passionately split than on the matter of S11 and the apparent links between that, the invasion of Afghanistan, and the one scheduled for Iraq. At the marked risk of stating the bleeding obvious, I shall try to elaborate. Now, I can't find a word in either of those positions with which I disagree. As they're not mutually exclusive, that's not a problem, is it? Is one of the questions a dete...
