The Bush administration showered John Howard with the most effusive public praise in Washington this week. He would have been less pleased by the nickname used privately in Republican circles inside the Beltway where he is known as "Bonsai", the mini Bush. This is particularly hurtful since George W. Bush is known as "Shrub"; that is, a smaller version of his father, George Bush, US president from 1989 to 1993.

I think blogging is a form of exhibitionism, and people who read strangers’ blogs are, by extension, voyeurs.

You voyeurs out there might get a kick out of reading the blog of a self-described French-Canadian English teacher married to a Vietnamese, living in Japan and studying online at an Australian university. Confused? So is he, but not so confused that his blog can't provide you with a plethora of information about his life in Japan and various other parts of our Earth.

Dig a little deeper and you'll discover that Slyvain is a married man - to Man, as well - that he has a fond interest in food, Engrish, travel, the beach, language in general as well as something called Ainori which seems very, very weird.

If we take up the petrol bomb or write anonymous vitriol and aim it at anyone who may bear some cursory resemblance (remember the paediatrician attacked because some moron thought he was a paedophile just because the two words look alike?) to those we believe to have done this, we join them.

"

Police have vowed to crack down on any racist revenge crimes in the wake of the bomb attacks on London.

Not in my name either, She Weevil, not in my name either.

And, yes, I do remember the articles regarding a paediatrician being attacked by morons.

The main problem with visiting Acton as such is that most of it is taken up by the Australian National University. That isn't a problem in and of itself - unless you happen to miss how Acton was in the 'good old days' before the ANU came along or something, back when the place was real, man - but it is a problem in terms of this site because the ANU is listed as a separate location in the Gregory's, and therefore, will have to be visited separately.

The benefits of executing a hacker would be greater, he argues, because the social costs of hacking are estimated to be so much higher: $50 billion per year. Deterring a mere one-fifth of 1 percent of those crimes - one in 500 hackers - would save society $100 million. And Professor Landsburg believes that a lot more than one in 500 hackers would be deterred by the sight of a colleague on death row.

So this woman I am totally in love with, who I totally believe has not never even had a guy touch her, has been a hooker. And the web page has links to other reviews. It seems she’s been doing this for a couple of years. Not a lot, but more than enough.

And I check my bank account. Well, I didn’t get paid. Unbeknownst to me I was once again in a contract dispute. I don’t talk about my work because it’s boring, but it is not really fun to find out you aren’t getting paid. And just try working and talking to clients when you are kind of pissed about being broke.
