Tense day of negotiating, dhk.tumblr is damn near sold!
On cloud 9, feels so good to see a site from scratch built, and bought by someone excited to take it to the next level.
Good day.

Power’s conclusion is that the U.S. policy toward genocide has been very imperfect and needs reorientation, less opportunism, and greater vigor. For Power, the United States is the solution, not the problem. These conclusions and policy recommendations rest heavily on her spectacular bias in case selection: She simply bypasses those that are ideologically inconvenient, where...

'Judgement'
The position of the Prime Minister, and by extension the entire political class over the past 40 years, in relation to the Murdoch saga has been neatly framed as a matter of questionable judgement.
