BLOGNOTES

• The impeccably formal Natalie Solent issues an invitation.

• The understandably depressed Professor Bunyip ponders a recent election:

The highest moral station to which Spain can now aspire -- and it is a miserable ambition -- will be to make Greece its model. Greece, where authorities made a point not to apprehend Palestinian terrorists, and if they did, if the offence was so egregious that there was no alternative but to slap on the cuffs, where the accused were gently treated, mildly sentenced, and then set free as quietly and quickly as possible. Now the Greeks are preparing to host the Olympics and living in dread of a terrorist assault. Fat lot of good being so pliable did them.

• The pro-development Sam Ward demands yet more development: “I hope they build so many skyscrapers I can't even see the sun.”

• And the cash-delivering BlogAds are working!

Speaking of BlogAds, Tim... what's your opinion on climate change and the associated marine destruction?

My opinion on climate change and the associated marine destruction is that it pays me $50 per week.

My position is that it's too damn cold in Michigan in the winter and I don't eat fish.
