  1. @gordmcfee Careful there. Those were imposed under Nazi occupation. You could point to pogroms before the war, though.
  2. @gordmcfee To put it mildly. This is a bit of a complex political point.
  3. @gordmcfee The Poles like it to be known that they were the victims of those camps, not the operators.
  4. @amuchastegui Well, exactly. He sounds quite tasteful, actually.
  5. @_totherescue_ Favourits topic of mine.
  6. OK. Is the "Eurovision terror plot" a thing? Or is it a usual-suspect-rounding-up? bit.ly/M7Eh5a
  7. RT @pulmyears: The real question, Amercia: Does Romney blame the CAI for the death of JKF?
  8. Andy Coulson: In a final humiliation, arrested in a tabloid scandal of his paper's own making. I write: bit.ly/M7p0RJ
  9. @mlambie @shrydar But a) US has nothing to do with this trial and b) US has no charges against Assange. No suggestion of any such thing.
  10. @PatrickOsgood Yes, and I must mention that he has not been charged in order to avoid inadvertently libeling him.
  11. GOP spelling meme collision RT @blm849: That is excellent, but I am going with this bit.ly/KHZ5MG
  12. Brave victim of a secret international conspiracy, or guy hiding from minor questioning to gain publicity? On Assange: bit.ly/KHYafb
  13. I think every media outlet has at least once made the mistake of printing "Polish Nazi death camps" instead of "Nazi death camps in Poland."
  14. Probably the best response: yfrog.com/nt5fpmp #Amercia
  15. Obama may have made the Polish gaffe, but Romney misspelled "America" ALL OVER AN APP. Amercia the Beautiful on.wsj.com/KHTVA8
  16. In a square-bracket editorial-aside showdown, Michael Wood and Mary-Kay Wilmers disagree about a phone-in-vagina scene bit.ly/KHTHJj
  17. So he understands Italian customs... RT @CChristineFair: Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg left no tip after Rome lunch bit.ly/LPqcpY
  18. Heh heh RT @bbcrobinlustig: How News Really Works twitpic.com/9qx0cw
