China’s hissy-fit over the recent meeting between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and the Dalai Lama prompted two bloggers to count the number of times that China has accused other nations of hurting the feelings of the Chinese people. It appears that about 25% of the world’s countries have done that very thing. The Chinese must [...]

At the risk of incurring the Journalism Doctor’s disdain, I want to thank those who have commented on my recent post “John Miller’s mind is made up”. They have provided enlightening background information on Ayatollah Khomeini’s contentious Little Green Book. Annie Lessard of Point de bascule supplies the URL of the full text of the [...]
In his latest blog post, “The Journalism Doctor” John Miller meditates on the preamble to The Canadian Multicultural Act of 1985, arguing that current objections to state censorship in Canada arise from ignorance of what multiculturalism entails. Along the way, he slips in yet another drive-by smear of his nemesis Mark Steyn. My fact-check analysis [...]

Hazel Blears, “communities secretary” in Britain’s Labour government, says something monumentally stupid about political blogs. “Until political blogging ‘adds value’ to our political culture, by allowing new voices, ideas and legitimate protest and challenge, and until the mainstream media reports politics in a calmer, more responsible manner, it will continue to fuel a culture of [...]

Earlier this year an Italian judge invoked a 1948 law against “clandestine newspapers” in ordering a writer to close his blog. Now an Italian politician has expressed his fear that “almost the entire Italian internet” is illegal. The story begins back in May, when a judge in Modica (in Sicily) found local historian and author [...]
As readers of my former blog Magic Statistics will know, I recently retired and moved from Canada’s frozen North-West to its hurricane-prone South-East. In 1988, my wife and I moved from Vancouver, BC, to Whitehorse, Yukon, where I worked as a statistician for 20 years. Last month, we sold our house and moved to the [...]
