The blog appreciates the U.S.


Regarding politics, the blog has been feeling very grouchy lately. But our roving reporter sent these photos from DC this weekend, and the blog was genuinely touched by the sight of the U.S. flag next to a Free Yemen side. Why? It's hard to say. Must be that freedom of speech thing (which also includes the freedom to blog).

Two things

1. This was the blog's train station in North Sydney. From here we could easily travel to Macquarie University or the Circular Quay. Named after Edward Wollstonecraft, said by some to have left England to escape the furor resulting from Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. (Also Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's cousin.)
2. Just saying: I think it's short-sighted.
