Iranian Protests

Monday, December 18th, 2006

The recent news coming out of Iran is quite encouraging in a way — students in Iran are protesting Ahmadinejad, despite threats to their lives. He seems shocked that people don’t like him. Either that, or he can’t believe they’re actually doing anything about it.

Lord Monckton

Monday, December 18th, 2006

Lord Monckton, Viscount of Brenchley (and if there is a more British name than that, I haven’t heard it) has sent an open letter to the two global warming scaremongers in the US Senate, basically telling them to shut their pie-holes. He takes a verbal swing at British scientist-activists as well. Definitely worth looking at, and it just goes to illustrate something I’ve long believed: nobody does a dressing-down like the British.
