Should she have helped him?
via The Economist: Democracy in America by (author unknown) on May 10, 2008
Parsing Clinton's campaign strategyCOULD Hillary Clinton have won the nomination if she had come to Barack Obama's defence more often? Ben Dueholm thinks it over.If she had, for instance, come to Obama's defense (and by extension the defense of the Democratic and progressive values his campaign embodied) when he was under attack as unpatriotic, exotic, preacher-ridden, and so forth....

Frank Field threatens Brown with "no confidence"
via CentreRight by Louise Bagshawe on May 10, 2008
How is it that this has recieved so little comment? Any Questions last edition featured Frank Field and Alan Duncan.

(The sensational threat starts at 17:43 - hear for yourselves).Field is a...

The Glorious Ninth: Open Season on British Energy
via Capitalists @ Work by Nick Drew on May 10, 2008
... in your back pocket This last statement is rather based on the easy financing conditions of recent years.I am continually probing utilities and other energy co’s on whether the Credit Crunch has bitten them yet, and they all say ‘no’. But I really wonder if this can remain the case indefinitely.If it doesn’t, the lights will go out some time in the middle of the next decade. ND

Moment of truth
via The Economist: News analysis and views by (author unknown) on May 10, 2008
An escalation of conflict in LebanonSINCE Lebanon?s fiendishly complex politics polarised into two viciously feuding factions in the aftermath of the July, 2006 war with Israel, observers have predicted a slide into the kind of chaos that reigned during the 1975-1990 Lebanese civil war. But aside from a few assassinations and occasional gunplay, along with verbal mudslinging and further erosion...

utf-8 Growth On The Web
via W3C Q&A Weblog by Karl Dubost on May 06, 2008
On Google's blog, Mark Davis is explaining that Google is moving to Unicode 5.1. The article unfortunately mixes unicode and utf-8 as it has been noticed by David Goodger in Unicode misinformation. But the really interesting bit is the growth of utf-8 on the Web. These data should be interesting for the development of http, html 5 and validators.© graph from Google.
