David Clark(e) in Decentiya

I notice that in the end, Alan NTM managed to stir his stumps and get round to posting David Clark's essay on Georgia - it's now called "The Commenteriat Goes To War" rather than "The Meaning of the Conflict", and Clark now has his name spelt correctly. It's pretty disappointing to be frank - a lot of us had been hoping for something a bit more interesting than boilerplate "the liberal left now agree with the conservative right, hurray for NATO expansionism" but no; even Comment is Free gets dragged in there. Hey ho hum; given the global financial meltdown, this all feels so six weeks ago, doesn't it?

Delicious. Shorter Robert Reich: why isn't Democracy as good as Capitalism?

Since there was a Decentiya essay called Are we Rome?, this seems a good thread to mention the decidedly indecent Mary Beard. Via, pretty obviously, Chris Brooke. (I doubt the a direct link would work; I'd have thought that WordPress would censor quotation marks in permalinks.)
