Protests across the Islamic World — Instigated by Romney Backers?

By OcJim Everybody loves a conspiracy theory and some even defend them with their dying breath, but put together enough evidence, exercise enough logic, and put on your perception glasses and one nefarious plot line make sense.

A Real Imagined Community

The Paralympics have finished, the euphoria has died down, and the weather is quickly getting colder. After one of the most blistering, enjoyable and exhausting Olympic/Paralympic games in modern history, this small island is fast reverting back to the status quo and hurriedly forgetting this extremely brief diversion.

This Year’s Olympics

Any foreigner in Britain in 2012 must think the country was going through another world war.
