 Read All About It!

 

  Steve Jobs and the Beautification of Capitalism

The day that Steve Jobs resigned from Apple, hosannas for his life's work and accomplishments erupted from every corner of the earth (or the blogosphere, in any case). He was universally hailed as a genius. He was praised for changing and upgrading our lives in so many ways.  To read more of what Jeff Tucker has to say on Steve Jobs click here

 

  Gillard Smears Murdoch 
Gillard claimed that News Ltd., the Australian arm of Murdoch's media empire, had some "hard questions" to answer in light of the UK phone hacking scandal. She declined, however, to say what those questions were.  For more of Hal Colebatch's article click here.  

  Political Cheers Hide Consequences Dangerous to the Nation
Cheers all round - the Gillard government has again been humiliated by its incompetence, we are a step closer to its implosion, a step closer to an election which may well wipe out the political power of the Greens and displace the Labor government. Except - at what cost?  More > >
