Written by Ng E-Jay 01 June 2009 The Worker’s Party has capitulated to the PAP’s NCMP gambit. It is a regrettable move as it suggests that WP has opted for political expediency at the expense of democracy. My stand is that WP has missed the forest for the trees. As a voter, I feel let down. Last week, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced in Parliament changes to our Parliamentary system, including reducing the size of GRCs, expanding the number of SMCs from the current minimum of 8 to

The news today reports that Dr. George Tiller of Kansas, a long-time target of continual legal and terrorist harassment because of his refusal to deny legal and safe late-term abortions to patients who needed them, was shot to death by an apparent terrorist while serving as an usher at his family church in Wichita. A suspect has been arrested but his identity has not been released. Tiller was one of the few providers of late-term abortion in his part of the country, and for years had been the

Peter Baker offers a revealing, and vaguely melancholy, account of the current, comparatively lower-energy state of Bill Clinton’s post-presidency as a notoriously insatiable whirling-dervish struggles with the roles of former president and cabinet spouse — all the while clearly yearning for an Obama administration role beyond the pro forma. “‘Unless Obama messes up, Pr

President Obama declared Friday that the country’s disparate efforts to “deter, prevent, detect and defend” against cyberattacks would now be run out of the White House, but he also promised that he would bar the federal government from regular monitoring of “private-sector networks” and the Internet traffic that has become the backbone of American communications.

From the UK Guardian comes this sad tale of science and libel:Why are they trying to gag a top British science writer?This week, Simon Singh, one of Britain’s best science writers, will decide whether to carry on playing a devilish version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? He has already lost £100,000 defending his right to speak frankly. He could walk away. No one would think the worse of him if he did.

Looks like I don’t have to tell many of you to get out and see ‘UP’ from Disney/Pixar. It has brought in an estimated $68.2 million at the box office this weekend. That’s pretty close to the $70 million “The Incredibles” earned on their opening weekend. So I imagine the suits down in Burbank are pretty happy right now.
