While Patricia de Lille decries the “abuses” of anonymous bloggers and urges government regulation, even the Chinese government—which doesn’t have to deal with pesky things like constitutional limits on state power—has given up its plans to outlaw anonymous blogging. Good luck trying to implement a similar system in this country.
With all the fuss surrounding Patricia de Lille’s sudden and unwelcome interest in blogs, I’m sure everybody’s curious about the post that started it all. But since de Lille’s implying rather bluntly that her party will sue anybody who even reveals the link, I’m not going to bother showing it here. Instead, I’m going to [...]
As most of you probably know, Patricia de Lille wants to censor blogs; or at least use government intelligence agencies to track down bloggers so they can be exposed to crippling lawsuits from over-sensitive public officials, which in practice amounts to the same thing.
Having heard De Lille being interviewed on radio this evening, I was [...]
A few quick thoughts on Ron Paul.

[L]ocal viewpoints on local/international affairs. That they aren't brain-dead like most local self-confessed 'intellectuals' is a bonus.
- Fifteen Minutes
[I'm] glad to report the arrival of a new blog written by a couple of 'conservative-libertarian' South Africans. Commentary is both well written and prolific and very much worth a visit.
- Southern Cross
[A] great new South African blog. Commentary.co.za brings us libertarian views on South Africa...
- Way South
Probably the busiest (in terms of number of postings) blog is Commentary... They write on everything from politics, sport, time travel and more.
- Fodder
Commentary.co.za is a fantastically well-written site with an indepth insight into South African politics. If you want the lowdown on what's happening in the corridors of power, this is the place to read it. These guys know their stuff.

Pompous, geeky and holier-than-thou.
