The real news about the G8 summit. This is of course a cut out n'keep guide to all of these international meetings.

A raw (and most depressing) report from the wilds of Glasgow East: yes, this is what the Welfare State has created.

Support for abolishing part of that State from an unexpected but most welcome source.

Again we see that there are some things just too important fo us not to have legal markets in them.

That isn't to say that markets don't have their imperfections.

Counter-intutive but still possibly true. Use the smallest supplier to make sure that the service in question never becomes widespread.

And finally, entrants in the world's shortest short story contest.

Six word stories
written by Seamus McCauley, July 09, 2008
There are - IMHO - much better six word stories here: http://www.wired.com/wired/arc...ords.html. Or at least much geekier ones, which ofc from my POV is the same thing.

My own favourite is Alan Moore's "machine. Unexpectedly, I'd invented a time"

Most amused that more than one of the commenters at Perpetual Folly can't count to six.
