Over at SFSignal, I discuss the "successors to Orwell" along with several other writers, editors, and tummlers. A topic which keeps getting more timely given that the US just stopped and frisked the president of Bolivia in order to find Immanuel Goldstein . In brighter news, the war against Eastasia is going well, despite it being full of militants and the news media full of vulgar sentences such as A local militant source said that the militants who were killed were from the Haqqani network, a militant group that is responsible for orchestrating and executing attacks against American and Afghan forces across the border in Afghanistan and is believed to be active in the region.

Meanwhile, a very minor anomaly has emerged. A year or so after everyone swore that the Muslim Brotherhood would rule Egypt with ease, the largest protest of any sort in human history, with as many participants as the entire population of Canada a small conspiracy of military leaders has taken shape. Eh, some people will do anything to get their pictures in the papers, I guess.
