A couple of profs up north have just published a book, Manual de Redacción Ciberperiodística, that explains useful things like … er … what a hyperlink is. Books like this have been remaindered for years in other countries, so how come lecturers here still get away with inflicting them on their students? Any currently blog-less…
Transblawg has a translation of the Berlin police report of the capture of a Nigerian fraudster practising the famous 419 fraud. There’s now a growing industry of people pitching for readership by publishing (probably fictional) accounts of how they responded. The Raving Atheist is still my favourite: The Directors were immensely gratified that you are…
Segons el NYT, alguns Republicans veuen en la combinació Schwarzeneggeriana del conservadurisme fiscal i del liberalisme social la clau de la dominació total de la política americana. Als polemicistas amargament anti-democràtics com Baltasar Porcel no els agrada, perquè encara no entenen que la política tracta del poder, no de la cultura. El malson per a…
Ik heb onze politici onderschat: je gaat straks toch meer betalen om hier je auto niet te zien verdwijnen van de straat.

Rafael Ramos, periodista d’aspecte mandrós, estúpid, i plagiari, ho fa altra vegada. No, senyor Ramos, Kennedy va dir “Ich bin ein Berliner.” I el defensor del lector, Josep Maria Casasús? Sembla que encara no ha acabat la seva “investigació”…
I’ll bet you’re grateful that I didn’t call this Chirac kisses … OK, just forget it. Mark Doyle did a little analysis of a recent presidential snog-in, concluding that Jacques had punished Mugabe severely by not kissing him even once; some of you might beg to differ. Chirac may have only given Laura one, as…
A couple of things I can’t work out this morning: Why Spanish people make such a big deal out of John Ashcroft when, according to the system here, judge Baltasar Garzón is able to say to a suspect: go to gaol, forget talking to your lawyer, don’t even dream of any kind of legal hearing,…
