1) The ongoing Twitter saga is interesting. David Cameron has now come out
against the injunctions. The New York Times seems to think that it is
unlikely that Twitter will co-operate with attempts by the English courts to access the personal details of the 'tweeters'. I hope Twitter tell the High Court to f**k off. If you are in the public eye and you base your public image (and earning power) upon the visage of an honorable family man focused only on athletic excellence, but are in fact engaging in a long term affair, the public must be allowed to judge you on the truth. If you want privacy then go live in a box.
2) Once again Obama's sums
don't add up
3) A shame that Mitch Daniels is out of the Presidential race. However, Tim Pawlenty's announcement ad is
pretty good. I want him to win the nomination (not just because of the ad!!).
4) Yemen's
problems are only going to grow. The country has no water, demographics that do not suggest political stability (very young population) and is fragmented along deep political divisions. A wonderful place for Al Qa'ida to reconstitute its Arabian operations.
5) Rumsfeld is
right about the White House and Bin Laden.
6) Michelle Bachmann is an embarrassment to our democracy.
This ad sums up why. Bachmann relies upon people who take comfort in locking themselves in a specific understanding of the world. I had a debate with one such individual yesterday in the
comments below a Naples News article.
7) Red Sox played very well last night. Very disappointing that Blackpool were relegated from the premier league. I hope Ian Holloway gets a premier league job soon.
Great guy.
