Hard News: Wikileaks: The Cable Guys, in reply to rodgerd,
Oops, I forgot there’s been nothing remarkable come out of the leaks, it’s just stuff everybody knows (don’t click if you don’t like reading about child prostitution).
hence my interest in whether wikileaks will outlive assange. surely the whole staff can’t be accused of crimes?
here the US is taking the head off the snake, surely they’ve heard of hydra? surely?

i always pictured a chameleon. death takes a long long time to get to some.

Hard News: Wikileaks: The Cable Guys, in reply to BenWilson,
regarding the substance of the allegations, the Swedes are stereotyped as being liberal and flouncy.
in reality they are very conservative and almost ‘germanic’ in their adherence to the rule of law. taking into account the likely quality of assange’s defence lawyers, if the charges stick it will be because they have substance.
and extremely intimidatory? “accidental death” is still on the cards.
EDIT: notes that these points seem to have been made waaaay back on pages 12, by Gio.

two minor asides:is wikileaks so dependent on assange that it cannot survive his incarceration? is the cult of personality *that* powerful?
that 'paranoia and anonymity' thing he used to have the press going on about is looking pretty good now. no?

our spinach bolted in all this hot weather, so a poke around in the a recipe book delivered ‘bread and sinach gnocchi’. even better on account of using up stuff around the place.
we also have blackcurrants, redcurrants, blueberries, feijoas, blackberries, peaches, <breath in> and garlic, potatoes, beetroot, bokchoy (broccoli failed, badly), and radishes. (oh, and two types of parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary, greek basil, blah blah)
she’s been a busy winter. am expecting most of the berries to fail, although the wee fella spent a good part of last feb eating blackberries straight off the (thornless) bush.
and come on Rb, you hated cats and now you're posting pictures of one's harbles.

i've big hopes for our garlic. our property is pretty exposed, so things that grown underground are our best bet.
radishes are pretty damn easy and tasty.
