Most people would find that an easy decision! But you're right. It will keep them up all night.

This is very clearly tip-of-iceberg of the filtering that goes on. Sky is Murdoch and I have no problem imagining the filtering comes from his person. LBC looks more unclear. It would be so good if this becomes the story for once.

All I know about Netherlands Protestantism is William of Orange. Was this a sign of religious intolerance, or was the sacred ground aspect of cemeteries so fundamental that splitting up mixed couples was widespread? The 1880s were pretty fervent, at least in England and France.

Not much, I admit :-)
I really would like someone to explain railway economics. Why has something that was affordable for all classes in the Victorian era become a luxury? Why is it cheaper to go by car, if you've 3, or even 2, in the vehicle. So sure. I agree with you.

I'm completely ashamed of me as well. I'll donate and pray. I wish with all my heart this wasn't happening.

Absolutely. Gordon Brown put it in his platform for the 2010 general election. It would have been worth electing him just for that.

Could alcoholism, Signal, and a makeup studio be the recipe for restoring the warrior ethos? Ross Douthat and Matthew Yglesias sit down to discuss
