Linking conversion, India, specials, bad day, steroids, Gilligans Island ...
Philosopher Anthony Flew has decided he does believe in God.
An interview with Indian economist Jagdish Bhagwati.
The 10 least successful Christmas specials. Made me giggle.
Didn’t get to kill himself, did kill his house.
A libertarian take on steroids.
Time to remember the original series of Gilligan’s Island.
Jihadis versus prostitutes.
In praise of Scrooge.
How the Scots have dealt with foxhunting. (Better than the English by the looks of it.)
Demolishing European myths about the US.
In a post a while back, I suggested that the ABC and Fairfax metros, by being pro-left, were a boon to the Coalition. A communications academic agrees. On that theme, Jonah Goldberg really nails "there needs to be liberal argument about why fighting the jihadis is a core issue".
Ireland is investigating recognising same-sex relationships. New Zealand has done it. Israel is recognising same-sex couples (which will no doubt make Islamists hate it even more). Canada is heading towards national recognition of same-sex marriages. A more sceptical take.
Dissecting "expert" advice on what to do in Britain if confronted by a home invader.
Galloway’s libel case win is being a bit oversold. Italian PM Berlusconi also has a legal win.
Putin may have cornered himself over the Ukraine’s hopeful events.
The Taliban is apparently increasingly willing to give up the military struggle they have clearly lost.
Contemplating the misplaced reverence for Arafat, where politically correct suppression of speech leads, and Iran ticking away.
Rumsfield being asked questions, awkward and otherwise, by troops. The supplier of armoured Humvees says it could build more if asked.
An Iraqi blogger considers the divides in the blogosphere. Contemplating the triumph that will be the ensuing Shia victory in the Iraqi elections.
