YOU MUST RE-SUBSRIBE TO USEFUL FOOLS!
Useful Fools is changing it’s appearance.
Unfortunately that means subscriptions (RSS, Atom, RSS) have to change.
In other words, if you subscribe using Bloglines or other aggregators,
please change your subscription to one of:
http://www.tinyvital.com/blog/wp-rss.php
http://www.tinyvital.com/blog/wp-rss2.php
http://www.tinyvital.com/blog/wp-rdf.php
http://www.tinyvital.com/blog/wp-atom.php.
Sorry for the inconvenience. The use of a different blogging tool forced this change.

Zonitics has a list of primary recommendations. I haven’t even looked (as you may have noticed, things have been busy), but Edward generally has good political taste.

Elizabeth Nickson has written a fine article in Canada’s National Post. Normally I don’t pay much attention to Canada, as it turned itself into an irrelevancy in almost every way… a pleasant one to visit… but about as important as Luxembourg.
But this was a fun piece of writing… and I recommend it.
A few quotes:

As you may have noticed, this blog hasn’t been to active lately.

For once… not about political affairs.
