"None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone." Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) Quote Archive
Wall Of Shame…
Note the obvious gorilla-like depiction of Robert Mugabe - the slopping hands, the menacing look, the hunched shoulders. Absolutely outrageous. 61 years on and imperialist racism is alive and well. Shame on you, FT.(click for full image)

Made Me Laugh…
BBC News : Aussie Fans Face Tough Restriction Of 24 Cans Of Beer or 4 Litres Of Wine A Day(!!!) "...Spectators at the Bathurst 1000 - a three-day race meeting staged this week - will be told to stick to just the one "slab" of beer while at the racetrack. Wine-drinkers must also show restraint, facing a four litres per day limit..."(image from BBC news story)
Had heard of a six-pack, a case, but never a slab. And 4 LITRES of wine ? I can't do 4 litres of WATER a day. Maybe a similar limit is required on all Aussies interacting with immigrant students after 9PM - that and a ban on carrying screwdrivers if drunk ought to solve the carving-up-helpless-students problem. Imagine running into that (above center) "restrained" guy at 10PM in a dark alley.
