Here's some stuff I would have posted about last week if I had been posting:
1. Foreign Correspondent had an interesting story on how the residents of Greenland are quite happy about global warming. It was full of nice scenery of a part of the world that rarely shows up anywhere on television. You can go watch it on broadband at the link. Did Tim Blair miss this?
2. Slate had a handy article that teaches you all of the things that men not looking for sex should not do while in a public toilet. (For all of the activity that is said to take place in public toilets, I can't say I have ever been in one where it came to my attention that someone was hanging around for that purpose.) Also in Slate, Christopher Hitchens had a particularly salacious article about the same topic. He did a (I think) Vanity Fair article about oral sex some time ago, and it provoked in me the same feeling that, when he deals with the details of sex, he becomes a bit too creepily enthusiastic for my liking.
3. Julia Gillard turned up on Lateline (can't find the link right now) and did her voice coach proud.
4. Horses. This deserves a separate post later today.
I recall seeing a snippet of Gillard on the news, telling us that the ALP IR laws would be implemented in a "measured and sensible manner".
ReplyDeleteShe spoke her words in an altogether measured and sensible manner.
Her coaching is already creeping me out.
A tad robotic, and the strain of Gillard being measured and sensible is clearly causing her physical pain.
