Another Bloody Day in Iraq (Apr 18 2004 01:59 GMT) - Skippy reports on the latest war toll of U.S. soldiers in Iraq. These were particularly gruesome deaths, in that an Iraqi mob beat the soldiers' bloodied dead bodies. Skippy aptly asks, "so, how much safer is the world now that... |

Another Hutton Inquiry needed? (Apr 18 2004 01:56 GMT) - How could I possibly pass up the opportunity to gloat over this one? Will Hutton, Britain's foremost critic of capitalism and an outspoken advocate for affordable social housing, is married to a property developer who has made a fortune out of selling and renting inner-city properties, often at rates which local council housing officers describe as exorbitant. No, you don't get it. Will Hutton is a foremost critic of capitalism for people other than Will... |

Chalk another one up (Apr 18 2004 01:56 GMT) - They need some stickers which say: "Warning: heading up Hamas can seriously damage your health": The head of the Hamas militant Islamic movement in Gaza, Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi, has been killed in a targeted Israeli missile strike on his car. Mr Rantissi's death came 26 days after the founder of Hamas, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, was killed in another "targeted killing" by the Israeli military. |

Abracadabra! In Four Easy Steps! (Apr 18 2004 01:56 GMT) - Some months ago, David Carr and I had a quick and long forgotten conversation over the subject of withdrawal from the European Union. It is a hardy perennial that fades in and out of debate. This time, I was interested in the 'Greenland option' where a region had stayed loyal to the crown of Denmark but had exited the EEC. Similar constitutional anomalies bind the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man to the Crown.... |

"Quote me and I'll sue" (Apr 18 2004 01:56 GMT) - If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery then surely accreditation must run it a very close second. There may well be pundits and scribblers who do not experience the frisson of pride when their work is quoted in other media but, if so, then I have never met them. Speaking for myself, I simply love it when other people link to my articles or quote from them. Nor is my satisfaction diminished by even... |

France against radical Islamism (Apr 18 2004 01:56 GMT) - As Antoine is fond of pointing out here, the French are not totally supine in the face of radical Islamism: Yahia Cherif, who preached in Brest, on the coast of Brittany, was deported to Algiers after being found guilty of "proselytism in favour of radical Islam" and "active relations with a national or international Islamic movement linked to organisations promoting terrorist acts". He was also found to have incited violence and hatred against people due... |

A fascinating postscript in military history (Apr 18 2004 01:56 GMT) - The Confederate crew of world's first submarine (or more correctly 'submersible') use effectively used in combat, were buried with military honours yesterday in Charleston, South Carolina. Their boat, the CSS Hunley, was discovered in 1995 and raised in 2000 from where it sank in Charleston harbour in 1864. The Hunley went down shortly after having sunk a blockading US Navy armed sloop, the USS Housatonic. This is an interesting end to a fascinating chapter in... |

Jabberwocky (Apr 18 2004 01:55 GMT) - Jabberwocky is an application for cell phones which maps your familiarity (or at least the familiarity of the phone) with your environment by mappinh how often other GPS enabled phones are encountered as you go about your day. It's an interesting idea. ... I seem to recall a vaporware of yesteryear which would enable passerby to write messages in the air in physical space with their PDA's or cell phones. If you passed close enough physically and wore special glasses or read through your PDA ... |

Government issues new dollar bond sold in local curreny (Apr 18 2004 01:53 GMT) - The Venezuelan Government announced last week that it would issue a new bond with maturity in 2011 and a yield of 3 month-Libor plus 1%. The issue will be US$ 1 billion in size but was initially sold only to local investors in local currency. This is the third issue with similar characteristics sold by the Government since last August, essentially taking advantage of the exchange controls in place to sell low coupon, dollar-denominated bonds to local investors, which later trade in the international markets at a discount. The Government has also sold investments units which contained a dollar denominated six month Treasury Bill as well as two Bolivar-denominated Vebonos. Besides the favorable conditions for the Government, issuing them also has the added advantage of removing excess liquidity from the local financial system. |

The Find Of The Month! Lovable Losers Theatrical Agency! (Apr 18 2004 01:52 GMT) - From the website: This collection of photographs and brochures comes from a box my father brought home one day from a garage sale. The box, which was crammed with the promotional files of a now defunct business, The Hal Morris Theatrical Enterprises Agency, provides a fascinating, sometimes heartbreaking, glimpse into a world of ventriloquists, magicians, hypnotists, and comedians who once bounced, sang, and hypnotized their ways across America. |
