I'm a very big fan of Oliver Stone's two great political films, JFK and Nixon . But I'm not overly optimistic about his new W. , slated for limited release next week.

I’m on a nice little sports gambling run during the past week. Not exactly enough to retire to a beautiful little Greek island with beautiful little Greeks, but enough for me to gloat about on a weblog read by upward of 15 people. Oh, speaking of blogs, did you know you can’t advertise on WordPress.com blogs? [...]

For the last week I have been going to bed really late, partly because I have been rewriting bits of my book, but mainly because the rest of my family have gone on holiday with my mother-in-law and I’ve just forgotten to go to bed. Conveniently, it’s given me a chance to listen to selected [...]
