bronzing up: smearing yourself in your own waste [Word]
Friday, September 17, 2004
Aussie cons use this for..err…avoiding court.
What is going on in this town (London)?
Friday, September 17, 2004
Whilst I was away in wonderful Belgrade, I see I missed some fine old London horror-crimes…
Another teenager gets stabbed to death and a bus driver beats a student girl to pulp, this is not too far from normal London lawlessness. But the following story is shocking:
A gang forces woman out of her car and rapes [...]
Critical Thinking on The Net is back from summer break…
Thursday, September 9, 2004
New posts and quotes, like this:

Convicted burglars, robbers and car thieves will be fitted with an electronic device that [...]
What Went Wrong in Iraq by Larry Diamond [Foreign Affairs]
Thursday, September 2, 2004
From Foreign Affairs, September/October 2004
Summary: Although the early U.S. blunders in the occupation of Iraq are well known, their consequences are just now becoming clear. The Bush administration was never willing to commit the resources necessary to secure the country and did not make the most of the resources it had. U.S. officials did get [...]
