Hope

Well, this kinda jumped out of the blue, at least from the perspective of this Zoner:
Somalia’s main warlords and politicians have signed an agreement to establish a new national parliament that in turn will elect a president.
The deal paves the way for the setting up of the first recognised national government in Somalia for […]

Uhhh, yeah

Because I try to be a good little citizen of the world, I’ve been trying to keep on top of the Democratic primaries in the US. (This on top of reading Bush’s speeches. See what I go through for you guys?) Anyway, I was checking the New Hampshire primary and noticed something odd about the […]

Magnetic spin

Welp, it’s that time of year again - the State of the Union address. I suppose I could bypass any real discussion of it for a series of well-deserved ad-hominems or something like that, but us Zoners tend to hold ourselves to higher standards, and are prone to feigning sentience while writing about whatever […]

The man who most greatly caused change in the world this past year, without a doubt in […]

Crucial peripheries

MLP time, since I’m between classes. Mostly courtesy of the BBC, since I’m in a hurry, and lazy. Here’s some things you really need to be keeping an eye on.

(via Another World Is Here:)
One of the things most “doomed liberals” don’t know about their cause is that they’ve got a legitimate full-blooded Secret Master of the World on their side.
George Soros is insanely wealthy, very intelligent and fights on the side of the angels. So when The Atlantic prints one of his essays on […]

The Afghan Constitution II

… What? It’s Monday in my world!
