The Brit's Eye View

Harry takes on Eric Hobsbawm.

Meanwhile, Guardian columnist Mark Lawson visits America, watches some TV, and concludes that this country really has become a theocracy to an "astonishing" extent.

Last week an 11-year-old boy from Utah disappeared during a scout camp. After four days in the wilderness, the child was found, thirsty but perky. It's true that even British phone-ins in these circumstances would have freely invoked a "miracle", but the public comments of the boy's relatives and family friends resembled scenes from Iran of the ayatollahs unexpectedly dubbed into American.

Astonishing!

{OT} Hey Dr. Frank, remember when you said you wanted a copy of the Nat.Lamp with the "Jessica Christ" story? I bought one for you. Email me and let me know where you want it sent. Consider it an early Xmas gift!
