This needs updating for the reality that is Sarah Palin.

At least three places I’ve been to regularly have blown up in recent months – all of them places I felt (relatively) safe in while I was there. I’m sure this isn’t something many readers will relate to particularly. But not many readers have the travel background I have.
Back in November last year was the [...]
A great bit of advice from Vitis in today’s Business & Finance:
If you had purchased £1,000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago, it would now be worth £4.95. With HBOS earlier this week, your £1,000 would have been worth £16.50; £1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5. However, if [...]
NISUS: Next. Crucifixion?
MR. CHEEKY: Ah, no. Freedom.
JAILER: Hmm?
NISUS: What?
MR. CHEEKY: Eh, freedom for me. They said I hadn’t done anything, so I could go free and live on an island somewhere.
NISUS: Oh. Oh, well, that’s jolly good. Well, off you go, [...]
Bruce Schneier is talking sense again (as always!).
At the moment, airport security will do one of two things when they catch you with something you’re not allowed bring on a plane: a) take it off you and let you go on your way; b) arrest you and charge you with terrorism.

Questions & Answers is only two shows into its new series, and apparently they’re already out of non-political guests. Last week, we had Fergus Finlay and Alison O’Connor, both of whom had been on one of the last shows in the Spring series (Alison & Fergus were both on twice last Spring, in fact!). This [...]
This story, about a staffer on a US senate campaign who used a fake name to sign up to the opposition’s press releases, and was suspended without pay for her troubles, raises a few causes for thought.
In Ireland, someone who did that would probably be promoted in most parties (FF & SF anyway) for being [...]
The New York Times somehow managed to get Aaron Sorkin (creator of the great The West Wing and Studio 60) to write a Bartlet/Obama short script. Obama goes to Bartlet for advice on how to win the campaign.
Here’s the nutshell version:
OBAMA: What would you do?
BARTLET: GET ANGRIER! Call them liars, because that’s what they are. [...]
