Here’s an interesting piece of video from the end of the LSU-Ole Miss game. If you don’t know how badly the Tigers botched the final minute of the game, go here and then come back. If you do, watch LSU Coach Les Miles‘ lips at the :19 mark: That was recorded as live video of Miles and [...]
Updated. Reuters and the New York Times read the speech that the Archbishop of Canterbury gave at the Vatican this week as both a defense of the Anglican Communion and a mild rebuke of the Roman Catholic approach to ecumenism. The Times of London wants him to be tougher. Bishop Alan Wilson says the speech signals another kind of unity.
I guest posted over at HarvardBusiness.org today. Before you read the post, I'd encourage you to watch this clip from President Reagan's "Tear Down the Wall" speech.
First miracle man. Then the EU president. A famous Belgian Most of Herman Van Rompuy's website , as one might perhaps expect of an upstanding European (and since last night, Europeans don't get much more upstanding than Herman), is in three languages. You can, if you choose, read the soon-to-be-ex-Belgian prime minister's acceptance speech on being appointed president of the European Council in Flemish...

WTF? WTF? AT-WHAY E-THAY UCK-FAY?!! Okay, so I was in the car the other day when I hear the news that you are leaving KGSR.

[Thought this was worth reprinting from big sister site Gamasutra , since it talks to what indies are doing well that bigger games sometimes cannot. Go read Hecker's original speech first, if you haven't.] If the video game medium is to reach higher levels of cultural relevance and reach, the mainstream industry must not abdicate responsibility to the indies, warns Chris Hecker, himself an independent...
Senate Majority Leader Dirty Harry Reid has published the final text of a Senate health care bill that would mandate federally subsidized abortion . So the Democrats, once again, spit on the people of faith in this nation and continue to attempt to force us to pay for the murder of unborn infants. Watch now as Obama does his dance to avoid taking sides in the struggle. He is not only indecisive about...

Cameron says the Prime Minister is more pre-occupied with self-survival than legislating on the measures the country needs. Pointing out that it was the shortest Queen's Speech since 1997, Cameron said Labour have "run out of money, run out of time, run out of ideas". Cameron said that the background to this Speech was a country facing "the most difficult circumstances for a generation",...
WITH a practised poker face, Her Majesty read her 56th Queen's Speech yesterday, laying down the legislative programme for what remains of this parliament.
I am not a fan of the political ventriloquism of how the Queen’s speech works. It is a good thing to have some pomp, ceremony and history associated with the opening of Parliament. But a better approach would be for the Queen to be able to speak as Head of State about the value of Parliament and the democratic process, with her government’s substantive programme of legislation then set...
15: the number of minutes it took the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh to make their stately progress from Buckingham Palace to the House of Commons in the horsedrawn Irish State Coach - more than double the amount of time it took to read the speech.
Things that I have heard this week: -indicator lights in my car -typing on keyboards -oven fans -cars approaching -music in the car -washing machine/tumble dryer -my godson’s gurgles -tannoy announcements on trains Those are the main things I can remember! I haven’t been doing a huge amount really, I have been out and about with my mum, and been in pub situations to try get used to noise....
Using the Queen as a spin merchant, how low can yellow streak Brown get. And what a lot of rubbish. What scares me, and is despicable, is the equality bill. How many people would like to think they only got a job purely because they are from an ethnic minority. This insults their intelligence. To favour women, black and Asian people is reverse sexism and racism and this should be stamped out. There...
