G2004GLE GURAL Tim Dunlop's blog has become required reading
Not just for people inside politics, but for all Amerikans, Europeans, and Australians who like to know what's reeeeeally going on.
Tim'd like to see the blogosphere become part of contemporary culture. He is trying to tap into everything that's going on in the world today. Such a blogger isn’t for everyone, any more than a politician like Vaclav Havel or a journalist like Margo Kingston suits all tastes. In my eyes, Tim could add that slight touch of vulgarity—the common touch, if you like—that so often helps to bridge the emotional gap between blogger and readers. (smile)

· In 2004 expect to see more soulful writing by Gianna: a must-read for women who care about politics [see also Accuracy means more than getting the words right. For James, it means placing words, and facts, in the proper historical perspective ]
