...Delhi thus has two political fronts to deal with, one Muslim and one Hindu. Any concessions it might offer to those protesting in Srinagar will provide fodder to the equally vociferous protesters in Jammu. What's more, the Hindu right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party has taken the issue beyond the state of J&K into the rest of India, and seems set to make it an election issue during the general elections expected at the beginning of next year. Due to the protests, the state elections have been put off until next year...
...glad to hear that Pastor Warren is starting to inject a little love into right-wing Christianity. Helping others is certainly an improvement over its usual focus on forcing women to keep unwanted pregnancies and preventing gays from marrying. However, I regret that TIME did not see fit to mention that there are two sides to Warren's plans.

(Chavez has insisted his government would never mistreat Posada...
...with rounds of layoffs and spending cuts, the cranky, daylight-deprived souls who toil away in newspaper offices are understandably gloomy. The blogosphere churns around the clock with portrayals of newspapers as conservative and out of touch, while feeding like maggots on the content those newspapers provide. Right-wing radio bashes newspapers as too liberal. Far worse than all the criticism is the cold reality that there is simply no stopping the technological and generational shift from print to digital in the news business. The old model - printing news and advertising on large pages of disposable paper - is sinking steadily...
