    In Amis's "the war against cliche" he laments, "while clearly an impregnable masterpiece, Don Quixote suffers from one fairly serious flaw—that of outright unreadability".

    I have often felt that in 2012 Labour supporters can be characterised by one and only one word....."quixotic".

    btw...i am currently reading Bellows letters and am struck by the rather fatherly/homo relationship of Bellow/amis
    very similar to chook/peter slipper/craig thompson

      Are you sure? That's what Assange is making everyone think but it's all assumptions from him. He can fight any probable extradition when he gets to Stockholm. From my understanding in recent history, Sweden may not be Switzerland but they generally have a good human rights record. How can someone try to fight an extradition from a country where he hasn't even set foot?
      The hypocrisy for me is how he is trying to get Ecuador, a country with a bad human rights record and freedom of information too, to aide his case. It reeks!

        Oh there you are little pup dog, I'd wondered where you got too? I was so used to you following me around everywhere I got lonely, glad to see you back at my ankle right where you belong.

        Chook.

          I suspect Julian Assange might get the irony of the situation.

              As a citizen of a democracy that has an open parliment where every word is recorded on the hansard, there should be nothing for Assange to expose. The fact that there is is an undermining of democracy and the parlimentary process.

              Chook.
              In that case I call the blokes who leaked the East anglia uni emails that shows global warming as the biggest scam the last 100 years, heroes.

                All those emails proved is how gullable people are to believe they proved anything.

                    Just move onto the next rant hey melon, the modus operandi of the deniers. Thanks for admitting you're wrong about the emails.

                    You a member of the Galileo Movement yet? lol

                    Chook.

                      Back on topic, Assange like Daniel Ellsburg and his Pentagon papers has committed a treasonous act but for the most proper motives.
