- Caring for the poor by smiting them. Both Clinton and Obama have made rather curious statements on trade on the election trail.

- The hypocrisy of 'Earth Hour'. (TechCrunch, Samizdata) [I've suspected that environmentalists wouldn't be happy until we were living as if in the Dark Ages - now they've proven it - literally.
