<body><outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2007/12/the_ron_paul_issue.php&quot;&gt;Ed Brayton&lt;/a&gt; has an excellent post up on his unfortunate reluctance in supporting Ron Paul's campaign. I agree (theoretically, of course, I'm a British citizen and therefore have only an academic interest in US politics). You know how Ron Paul could win? Forget all the conspiracy shit and all the &lt;span style=&quot;text-transform: uppercase&quot;&gt;&quot;OMG, the Jews are using con-trails and Bilderburg's puppet governments to cover up the truth about WTC and Roswell!&quot;&lt;/span&gt; people who listen to Alex Jones. Those people are unhinged cranks, and not a good basis on which to build a political campaign." created="Thu, 27 Dec 2007 15:23:32 GMT"/><outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.juancole.com/2007/12/top-ten-myths-about-iraq-2007.html&quot;&gt;Juan Cole&lt;/a&gt; has a list of the top ten myths about Iraq in 2007. I'd also recommend &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.radioopensource.org/juan-cole-from-bonaparte-to-bush/&quot;&gt;Professor Cole's recent appearance on Radio Open Source&lt;/a&gt; discussing how Napoleon's war in Egypt mirrors what is currently going on in Iraq under US occupation." created="Thu, 27 Dec 2007 14:32:14 GMT"/><outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.valentinzacharias.de/blog/2007/12/accessing-sparql-endpoints-from-within.html&quot;&gt;Valentin Zacharias&lt;/a&gt; has been experimenting with Yahoo! Pipes and &lt;abbr title=&quot;SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language&quot;&gt;SPARQL&lt;/abbr&gt;, with a web service to make easy calls to &lt;abbr&gt;SPARQL&lt;/abbr&gt; Protocol endpoints using &lt;abbr title=&quot;JavaScript Object Notation&quot;&gt;JSON&lt;/abbr&gt;. Neat." created="Thu, 27 Dec 2007 09:01:36 GMT"/><outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://hrw.org/english/docs/2007/12/20/china17627.htm&quot;&gt;Human Rights Watch&lt;/a&gt; have a public letter to U.S. Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, asking the Bush administration to strengthen it's policy on China's human rights record specifically with regard to the Beijing Olympics. I think that history will not look kindly on U.S. and European tolerance of the human rights abuses that are taking place in China." created="Thu, 27 Dec 2007 07:32:09 GMT"/>
