Now isn’t that interesting. This vid from 2008 is obviously not the final proof but it raises the question of why she’d consider Kenya the home country and not, say, Indonesia or the U.S.A. Moving on from that, there was his refusal to provide the long certificate to and now this from The Blogging Professor:

Eyewitness report when the bullets changed from plastic to live rounds: ‘‘But then, as I was standing round the corner, someone said they were firing live rounds, so I wasn’t too keen to come around again.

Sovereign debt is already starting to cross the danger threshold in the United States, Japan, Britain, and most of Western Europe, threatening to set off a bond crisis at the heart of the global economy.

Mind boggles. The cultural difference between Russia and the U.S. is so pronounced that the very idea of adopting a Russian child in the U.S. is … well … mindboggling. A 7-year-old boy adopted by a woman from Tennessee was sent alone on a one-way flight back to Moscow with a note saying he was [...]

A Real Tory – the lady was not for turning The time has long passed to be polite. There are big stakes being played for – the UK is not an impecunious entity, neither financially nor strategically within Europe and the biggest disappointment has been the two types of treason. Your correspondent uses the word [...]

Finally finished it. All other writing is a case of putting the fingers to the keyboard and the brain does the rest but Dark Logic was written by the soul and set traps all along the way. The first book took seven years to put together and was traumatic, the second took two months to [...]

An invisible umbilical cord should connect [children] to a mature conscience. [Richard Cohen]. Same could be said for our women. Is this blog turning feminist in its old age? I can’t imagine anyone being interested in the topic of this post but here goes nothing anyway. When a society starts feeding off its women and [...]

From an article by a UKIP man: Are UKIP Serious? One constituent has advised the Albion Alliance that: “Also with the good response you have had from UKIP candidates I have also emailed Dr Julia Reid (UKIP) again. I did get a verbal response to my original email, but she came a’calling one evening to [...]

Like all UKIP candidates, Mark Wadsworth doesn’t provide an email for citizens to get in touch with him. One is supposed to know to come to the blog and get the email from there. Mark – that requires intelligence! Don’t make it so hard for us. The fact that I have my own channel through [...]

Al Jazeera is an unusual place to expect such an article from but as a Mac user, naturally I was interested in the question of why Apple users are so devoted. Techies growl and look down on Apple as software-controlled gadgets for the technologically challenged but that is only part of it. I’ve always felt [...]

Naturally, the French have a penchant for this sort of thing: Lorsque Bobby Kennedy démissionne de son poste de ministre de la Justice pour se présenter aux sénatoriales de New York, Jacqueline quitte Washington pour s’installer dans cette ville. On jase déjà. Des années après, les témoignages déferleront, tous concordants. À Noël 1964, une voisine [...]
