I've been using Google Reader recently, following the lamented death of Planet Fleck, and I suppose I have to admit its better. Here are some "shared items" if, for some reason, you want to read what I read.

not fun at all:

Wiki madness

The story so far: arbitrator User:FT2 posted a bizarre Arbcomm decision in which a user was, apparently, tried and sentenced in secret. Unsurprisingly, outrage ensued. One other arb then repudiated the judgement, and said it was done "without the approval...

Our politicians are bozos

So, nothing new there you may well say. My morning paper tells me that Broon has won a pointless victory over the bizarre 42-day-detention stuff. He had to buy off the Ulstermen to do this, and the Lords will veto...

Of course we'd never mislead a close friend and ally...

...said the oily US spokesman on R4 tonight, as it turns out the US has been telling us porkies about torture flights. Though I doubt our govt asked too hard, since it enabled them to make denials when it was...

NRK nationalised

In order to prove my financial acuity, when Northern Rock fell to about 200p and the govt guaranteed its deposits, I bought £250 worth, believing it would bounce back. Its now down to 90p, and the news now is that...

Buy our tat!

I thought I'd take advantage of a rant (sorry, yes, another one) to push some of our tat that we're selling (we hope) on ebay. So there is the disc firing robot, the ATV buggy, and the nervous alligator science...

Makes us look sane

UK teacher jailed over teddy row: "A British teacher has been found guilty in Sudan of insulting religion after she allowed her primary school class to name a teddy bear Muhammad."...

Torture and detention

Over in the mad world, CIP castigates his fellow countryfolk for promoting torture. AFAIK we're not doing that (except very quietly and discretely, one suspects) so instead we're going for detaining people for implausibly long times. We're currently at an...

Just in case you feel inclined to trust Monckton

I don't suppose you are, but this rather indicates his casual attitude towards the truth: "I was selling the house anyway and they asked me if I would be willing to tell people I was selling the house because I...

Don't mention the war

I notice that the Economist, which was always pro-Iraq-war, and for a long time insisted on reserving judgement as to whether it would suceed, now calls it a "disaster". Meanwhile Thucydides proffers his advice to CIP. I'd go for partition,...

Yes, its cr*p

The logo for the London Olympics, that is. Or maybe "the powerful, modern emblem symbolises the dynamic Olympic spirit and its inspirational ability to reach out to people all over the world"....

The war on Youtube

From the grauniad, the paper copy even: the US military are posting their war on youtube: MNFIRAQ (the one I watched was this). I find this completely weird and disturbing. And it certainly doesn't look like the end of combat...

Environment damaged by cars and nukes

Well yes indeed, but in this particular case I'm referring to the funding for the Natural Environment Research Council, which has been cut in order to help pay for the govts failed attempt to rescue the Rover car company; and...

Corruption wins

Or, perhaps more politely, 'National interest' halts arms corruption inquiry. From the grauniad article: A major criminal investigation into alleged corruption by the arms company BAE Systems and its executives was stopped in its tracks yesterday when the prime minister...

Killing themselves was unnecessary. But it certainly is a good PR move

Terrible story from todays guardian: Killing themselves was unnecessary. But it certainly is a good PR move. Oddly enough I don't see this in the blogosphere... maybe because there isn't much else to say. Or people are too busy with...
