All last year industry and sections of the PP were saying that there was no way that Spain could meet its Kyoto targets, currently being overshot by more than 100% as a result of the PP’s fine economic record (see below). Economics minister Rato was mugged by a bunch of industrialists in early December in…
There’s a lot of coverage in both the Spanish and the English press of the tragic death of 19-year old Adán Sánchez. LaMesera.com has a short tribute, along with audio and QT footage of the man and many other fine artists. You won’t believe me, but I originally got into this stuff while wearing a…

In a different world Dominique Moïsi (social network) might have made an excellent French foreign minister. Here‘s yet another good piece by him, rounded off with a distinctly Freudian typo.
When I’m involved, is the short answer. Just as enthusiastic but slightly less individualistic are the dances that are virtually always created as part of the branding process of a deranged sect. That’s why in India The Supreme Court (coram, Babu, Mathur, Lakshmanan, JJ) in a majority judgment today held that Anand Margis can’t perform…
