What if?
http://blog.greens.org.nz/ 2008/ 08/ 29/ what-if/I wonder if the Prime Minister is looking back at the quiet issue-focused way the Greens have gone about getting their policy implemented over the last 3 years and is now ruing the choices she made putting together her governing arrangements back in 2005 with Winston Peters’ NZ First Party and Peter

Hell Yeah
http://whoisioz.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 08/ hell-yeah.htmlDemocracy, too, is a religion.

The Conventions are Coming...and CGD is Going!
http://blogs.cgdev.org/ globaldevelopment/ 2008/ 08/ the_conventions_are_cominga…Everyone says August in Washington, D.C. is quiet. That is of course, unless you are planning to attend the presidential conventions and from what I can tell, just about everyone is sending someone to the conventions.

Brown isn’t ‘bonkers’ enough
http://www.liberalconspiracy.org/ 2008/ 08/ 28/ brown-isnt-bonkers-enough/I gather that some fat bloke who always refers to himself in the third person has suggested that Gordon Brown might be ‘bonkers’.

Freedom and its Price in the Georgian Conflict
http://www.earnticle.com/ business-and-finance/ freedom-and-its-price-in-the-geo…Normally the articles I write deal with sports, photography, or sports memorabilia preservation.
