The Mleeta Resistance Landmark - I’m actually completely lost for words, the Hezzbollah ‘Disneyland’. Honestly words are just not enough, go have a look at this thing.

Tax Evasion and the Greek Economy - Excellent little article about the situation in Greece at the moment, which has dominated the news for a good chunk of news time. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it all and what it means to the country that I once called home, and which now is home to my parents and brother…

Dave and Nick - An actually pretty historic event in British politics. I’ve never lived under anything but a Labour government and it was exceedingly good to me. This change in dynamics is bound to be interesting if nothing else. I kinda wish I was there to see what comes out (and whether it will actually last the prescribed 5 years). If nothing else I will be following the events closely for sure.

Can they cut it? - Fantastic venn diagram of the proposed budget cuts from the various parties and how they aim to tighten up the UK economy if they get elected. Lots of ideas, excellent presentation as always by the Guardian website.

Vote for Policies - Excellent website. You have to do it if you’re a British Citizen. The results will definitely surprise you. Currently based on policy alone, the Green Party would lead the country.

What is a hung parliament? - Excellent guide for those scratching their heads about the actual numbers involved. It’s actually a lot closer than you think.

Times Skimmer - Great idea and implementation of digesting the top news stories according to categories etc. This is what Google News should be like.

‘The Graveyard of Empires’ - An open letter from Michael Moore to Obama.

How Did Economists Get It So Wrong? - Definitely on my reading list, when I get a chance. Nice Jason Lutes cartoons as well (he of Berlin fame).

Carlos Latuff - In my research for the story I’m writing and drawing, I’ve inadvertently stumbled on a great political cartoonist from Brazil with the Palestinian cause as his main focus. It’s quite fitting really as I’ve only just discovered Naji Al Ali, who is the prototype Middle Eastern political cartoonist. The great thing about Latuff is that his stuff is seen from ‘Arabic’ eyes with a decidedly more ‘Western’ outlook.

Jon Stewart destroys CNBC - Wait for the last minute. The ending is priceless.

Dubai’s six-year building boom grinds to a halt as financial crisis takes hold - The interesting points made, is that even though only about half the projects are still moving forward, this amounts to the same value as the US stimulus package! This doesn’t effect just Dubai but the entire construction industry (which very well may have been overcrowded).

Letterman’s Top 10 Bush moments - Absolute genius (via Daring Fireball).

Throw shoe at Bush game - Brilliant.

Bush getting attacked by shoes - thank god this was caught on video. If only the guy had better aim.
