Two Hours Of Voting Left

May 6, 2010 at 7:00 pm

This post is dedicated to the hard working activists who are still out there chasing up on reluctant voters, telling, and knocking up in the fading daylight with the clock counting down: * I have a plan, sir. * Really Baldrick? A cunning and subtle one? * Yes, sir. * […]

Burnin’ Down The House

May 5, 2010 at 10:41 pm

It’s the night before the election. It’s Gordoom’s last night before his illegitimate and accursed premiership comes to an inglorious and miserable end. It’s the last 24 hours before he fights the first competitive election of his life…and loses. It’s the purging of the House of Commons; a record number […]

After the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989, Congress passed the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, warmly referred to as “OPA90″. OPA90 provided for an emergency spill fund so that response for a future spill could begin right away; established the US Coast Guard as the lead agency responsible for […]

What You Think You Are Entitled To

May 4, 2010 at 9:44 am

With all of the rancor in the media, online and on main street, it might be easy to forget why we are talking in the first place. The fundamental reason the level of discord has risen to where it is is because the number of people who are recognizing the […]

Be True To Who You Are

May 4, 2010 at 9:28 am

Two days to go. So, wither the patriot and his vote? TheEye struggles with such thoughts. It is a struggle made easier by the lack of a Westminster vote for us here in Gibraltar, so this blogger watches impotently as the future of his Rock is shaped on distant shores. Of […]
