Hard News: Media7: A new censor -- and a…, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
Excellent show last night, but I'm afraid I've got a long-standing bone to pick with the assertion that our censorship laws are "objective" rather than "philisophical".
I agree with you, Craig.

You do know they don't speak English there, right?I was thinking there might be a Croatian equivalent.

Split is such a charming name. Does anyone from there ever say let's split, or is that just too corny?

Hard News: An open thread while I'm down…, in reply to Martin Lindberg,
Does anyone have any advice?
Always walk on the road edge of busy pavements and wash your hands regularly when removing laterals from tomato plants. ;-)
