An election must be looming…

…as the Guardian sees fit to publish an attempted hatchet job that focuses on the Conservative Party’s links with…..a conservative organization!
I don’t think I can comment on this any better than Dizzy has already:
I wish to offer a summary of this morning’s Guardian splash that’s trying to create a “Tories are secret extremists and you’re [...]

The Axis of the Obsessed and Deranged?

Under the title “The Axis of the Obsessed and Deranged”, the New York Times has a column by Frank Rich in which he risibly tries to tar the tea party movement with the actions of a suicide murderer.

“If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity [...]

Anyone still for Chavez?

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has defended jailed killer “Carlos the Jackal” and several world leaders he says are wrongly considered “bad guys”. In a speech to international socialist politicians, Mr Chavez said “Carlos”, a Venezuelan, was not a terrorist but a key “revolutionary fighter”.
