Goodnight sweet prince. Michael Jackson died of a heart attack and the resultant shockwave across the internet literally slowed it down. Now, I get that MJ was a great singer and wonderful performer, but holy cow! This kind of reaction is totally going to dampen the gravity of Farah Fawcett’s death. Bastard…
What’s been truly annoying [...]
And the media fellates the White House with implied admiration. It’s this lack of priorities by the media which truly gets my goat. Let’s glaze over the many things he’s doing politically and watch the man swat a fly, or his adoption of a Spanish labradoodle or whatever the hell breed it is. The most [...]
Conor Friedersdorf has professed confusion at the outrage of sending ex-Guantanamo detainees to Bermuda. Personally, I find the whole thing quite laughable. Given that these folks were suspected of, or were never adequately prosecuted for, terrorist attacks, supporting terrorist organisations or suchlike, the notion that in re-compensation they’re effectively given a life of sun and [...]
Fighting piracy in the Gulf of Aden is difficult, this much is obvious. The pirates look and operate for the most part exactly the same as the many fishermen in the area, deploying naval vessels into the area itself is costly and often unproductive, and the pirates are almost never disincentivised from their activities.

Whinge that the opposition team’s defense was too good. Seriously… since when did adapting your team’s strategy to an aggressive opposition offense become a bad thing? Maybe it’s because I don’t understand the nitty gritty nuances of football that I don’t quite understand how Santana can be bleating about having to actually think about how [...]

The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the [...]
I have to admit, the latest escalation in the unfortunate series of events surrounding the initiation that occurred at Parktown Boys’ in February caught me by surprise. I had assumed that, after the raft of disciplinary hearings, counselling sessions, rehabilitation programs and the intervention and subsequent satisfaction of the Department of Education, that the story [...]

[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.
