  • Politicus: Fischer's shifting vision of Europe's grand future: John Vinocur

    John Vinocur as usual with some great insight into European politics. Crucially he points out that Joschka Fischer has some curious views on the future of the EU. More and more I see this kind of language coming from the EU, and to be blunt I think it’s a very very bad thing. Basically, Fischer…

  • The return of people's war: Martin Jacques

    I find it hard to disagree with Martin Jacques in today’s Guardian. I just recently bought a book talking about these issues – Jacques pretty much covers it. I will have to take a look at Schell’s new book. It is now clear to everyone – apart from Donald Rumsfeld and his cronies – that,…

  • Lawsuits are from Mars

    I should have blogged this earlier, but a story appeared recently in a San Francisco legal periodical. Brenda Sandburg had the story, published in the Recorder and on Law.com Irish blogger Gavin Sheridan got plenty of free legal advice after a San Francisco lawyer objected to one of his postings. Sheridan reprinted a friend’s blog…

  • Fisk versus Cooney

    Whoah that was pretty heated stuff on Agenda on TV3 tonight, I thought Fisk was either going to hit Cooney or walk off the set. The shouting was loud, the accusations were all over the place – some pretty libelous stuff seems to have been said.

  • "Mark Steyn is a racist"

    Eamonn Dunphy: “Mark Steyn is a racist”. I have been following the writings of Mark Steyn for some time. I did not read the article from last Monday’s Irish Times that Dunphy referred to, but I can see that in Dunphy’s eyes Steyn is below contempt. But then that’s coming from a friend of the…

  • D12's fight for respect and recognition

    The D12 crew is composed of 6 talented and hardworking emcees from Detroit. Since the beginning of their carreer, D12 has been targetted by the media and negatively criticized “for making money by exploiting the world’s misery”. D12’s first fight is against censorship and it is all about freedom of speech. It seems like their…

  • Neoconservatives and the American Mainstream: Zachary Selden

    Zachary Selden explains the phenomenon of Neocons in the US.

  • Facts about Kon Artis

    When people talk about D12, they usually talk more about Eminem or the D12 group globally. People rarely talk about the other D12 members individually, although there is a lot to say about a member like Kon Artis, for instance.

  • Debbie Mathers feels sorry for James Antonio Knott

    January the 22nd, Detroit, 8 Mile Road. A woman gets carjacked by a young man. A very common situation at 8 Mile Road. The only difference is that the woman sitting in the car is known by the public. She is even one of the most hated women in Detroit : Eminem’s mom, Debbie Mathers.
