More Bimbo Fun (Dec 24 2004 13:26 GMT) - I watched The Incredibles with the Anonymous Economist earlier this week. It is superb. See it. The movie takes a strong philosophical line on the question of unusual excellence and the way contemporary institutions, especially educational ones, do their best to smother it: "When everyone is special, no one is. |

WikiWikiWoo! (Dec 24 2004 13:26 GMT) - I am a Wikipedian and link from PooterGeek to the wonderful Wikipedia frequently. This communal project has shown (yet again) the power of distributed collaborative work via the Net---just like the operating system running my PC and the Web server sending this page to you. Further, Wikipedia has proved conclusively ... |

By Special Request (Dec 24 2004 13:26 GMT) - As I predicted, the pull of Blade: Trinity was too strong and Leasey and I went along to see it last Saturday. It turned out to be both very entertaining and utter rubbish. The plot is thinner than a 15-year-old on a catwalk; Parker Posey couldn't act her way ... |

Dumber And Dumberer (Dec 24 2004 13:26 GMT) - Oh woe, a university chemistry department is closing. "What is to become of British biomedical research?" whine the great and the good of the scientific and medical establishment. Michael Rees, the head of the BMA's medical academics committee, is a laugh a line as he cries:"If this trend of closures ... |

"Яблоко" критикует Грызлова за позицию по Сталину (Dec 24 2004 13:23 GMT) - Российская демократическая партия "Яблоко" выразила сегодня категорический протест против недавнего заявления председателя Государственной Думы Бориса Грызлова. Оно, как отмечается в поступившем в "Полит.ру" письме, направлено "на восстановление сталинской идеологии и обеление человеконенавистнического режима, осуществлявшего геноцид народов нашей страны и, прежде всего, русского народа". "Великая победа принадлежит народу нашей страны, который отстоял свою независимость и освободил мир от фашизма не благодаря, а вопреки сталинским репрессиям и сталинской внешней политике. Именно обескровившие народ и армию репрессии и преступный сговор Сталина с Гитлером предопределили катастрофическое для нашей страны начало войны. |
