I received...

There is just too much of it to try to rebut all the prism-reporting of the Iraq Inquiry. But it may be worth trying to do the lowlights. David Grossman was terribly excited on Newsnight last night about all the "revelations" from yesterday's session, but as he listed them each could be ticked off from the Butler report of 2004. The story that best fitted the anti-war narrative was probably...

A lot of lattes. A lot of proplus. (Too much proplus.) A plan featuring more question marks than content. Safe. The L Word season one marathon. Caffeine shakes. Realisation that this lack of sleep will not be rectified until next week. Shakes. Poor quality blogging. Opaque tights as pants because housemates asleep. Pondering the merits of the bicurious Parisienne. Happy 4am. Happy Thanksgiving. xx

Children's book illustrator David Small published a graphic novel memoir about his life, Stitches , including the details about her...

The Library of Congress' new exhibit on Herbert Block (often known as "Herblock") completely avoids labeling the famous cartoonist as a liberal, instead portraying him as an "independent spirit." The retrospective features 81 poster-sized drawings by the late Washington Post artist and never once identifies Block's politics. The exhibit, which opened on October 13 2009 and can...

Disappointing to see that my own newspaper, The Independent on Sunday , asks number 180 in my series of Questions to Which the Answer is No , in the form of the headline on Oliver Miles's shabby article previewing the Chilcot inquiry into Iraq, which starts on Tuesday. For all the time that I have disagreed with the editorial policy of the Independent titles - that is, since late 2002, when it became...
I might have a glass of beer (Free subscription) | 17/11/2009
This article in the Guardian looks like mischief-making to me. It's dragging up a dispute from a local beer festival months ago to create an misleading narrative of CAMRA as hidebound fuddy-duddies preventing the growth of exciting new craft lager breweries. The story of that earlier spat is briefly: CAMRA told Freedom Brewery at short notice that their beer couldn't be sold at the Burton beer festival...

Yes, it's time for the annual " Are there too many gay stereotypes on TV ?" articles. Over time, the image of gay people on TV became less lavender and more gray—as multifaceted as the five men on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy or the ladies of The L Word .
