(He should have been for most his life; certainly <a href='http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2008/sep/01/obituary.ken.campbell'>his obituary</a> deserves to be.) Most newspapers are instead pushing <a href='http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/sep/02/uselections2008.republicans20084'>Sarah Palin's daughter being pregnant</a> which, while news, is unlikely to actually change the world much (for once the rational voices are coming from mid-right Conservatives). Perhaps more worthy of discussion is where in hell she gets her children's names from.</p> <p>More important than <a href='http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/fresh-take-on-browser.html'>Google's announcement of a new web browser</a> is <a href='http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/index.html'>the awesome comic introducing it</a>, drawn by <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_McCloud'>Scott McCloud</a>.

At least we know where Monroe's name came from.</p> http://talktorex.co.uk/node/757#comment Tue, 02 Sep 2008 15:35:08 +0000 James Aylett 757 at http://talktorex.co.uk
