The Daily Bork: I can't see this guy helping things
http://dailybork.blogspot.com/2005/08/i-cant-see-this-guy-helping-things.html
August 16, 2005. I can't see this guy helping things. What happens when you take a bigotted Englishman who gets revelation on an oil well and converts? A speaking tour of NZ by an intellectual dwarf that is supposedly going to help relations with Islam. Mr Green said he was taken aback by learning something from an Egyptian, because he had considered them inferior people. And, surprisingly enough, the conversion does not seem to have cured him of being a bigot. But just to round out the loon-fest,. Howev...

The Daily Bork: "The enemies we make"
http://dailybork.blogspot.com/2005/08/enemies-we-make.html
August 16, 2005. The enemies we make". Done With Mirrors has an excellent article. On caricaturing the "enemy" and the curious inversion that has taken place between WW2 and now. As the official organs of Western governments go more and more out of its way to avoid caricaturing, the film makers and commetators in the West have gone to the other extreme. The latest from Ted Rall, Ward Churchill, Steve Bell, or Michael Moore? Something from "Le Monde" or "Der Spiegel? Capra was reluctant at first to create...

The Daily Bork: Shopping malls, bastions of democracy
http://dailybork.blogspot.com/2005/08/shopping-malls-bastions-of-democracy_16.html
August 16, 2005. Shopping malls, bastions of democracy. More stupid ideas from Keith. Westfield won't let enrolment stalls in their malls unless they pay a fee. Apparently this is highly undemocratic. Here's an idea. set up a stall outside the mall you cheapskate. How is it going to help the democratic process by imposing laws on businesses that they must allow "free community activities"? You're mad keen on wasting money on everything else, why not this? Or on the local marae, even if they don't want it?

The Daily Bork: Return of the hack
http://dailybork.blogspot.com/2005/09/return-of-hack.html
September 06, 2005. Return of the hack. Now why do you suppose it was written this way? The Rathergate affair culminated in the resignation of Dan "fake but accurate" Rather, indeed coined the term "fake but accurate", a spectacular achievement for a horde of readers. The sideways derision of PowerLine for "doing little more than ask the question" is selfevident, how could Time give them weblog of the year indeed? After handing Russell his arse on a plate. Ironically that was about the Plame affair w...

The Daily Bork: American public more clued than most pundits
http://dailybork.blogspot.com/2005/09/american-public-more-clued-than-most.html
September 05, 2005. American public more clued than most pundits. Who'd have thunk it, average Joe Cowboy seems to be more level-headed than the mediasphere. Americans are broadly critical of government preparedness in the Hurricane Katrina disaster - but far fewer take George W. Bush personally to task for the problems, and public anger about the response is less widespread than some critics would suggest. Q and O have perhaps the most succinct round up. Posted by Chefen at 8:59 pm. Was it all worth it?

The Daily Bork: Cole-ture shock
http://dailybork.blogspot.com/2005/08/cole-ture-shock.html
August 16, 2005. Our old friend Juan Cole gets a tongue lashing for getting the final word in on a debate. after the opponent has died. That'd Steven Vincent, who was killed in Iraq. Cole presented his piece here. Martin Kramer takes exception. In other words, Vincent got himself killed, out of ignorance. Implication: his journalism should be dismissed. Or does sole responsibility for their deaths lie with their killers and torturers? And if it does, why should Vincent be an exception? It is also an enti...

The Daily Bork: Hip to be square
http://dailybork.blogspot.com/2005/09/hip-to-be-square.html
September 06, 2005. Hip to be square. Time to get away from hurricanes and back round to NZ politics. The Greens have a cool new invention they want to show off. It's expected to take off in a big way in the last 20 years. In 1975 the Values Party set a new standard for political party manifestos with its 90-page publication with a full colour cover that was sold in book shops. We have now eclipsed that cutting-edge initiative with this 21st Century equivalent," Mr Donald says. We have demonstrated this ...
