Whose Internet is It Anyway? An ex-prof of mine wrote this article which has links to some source documents.
At Pajamas Media, a special report by Claudia Rosett looks into the dark future of the Internet—dark, that is, if the United Nations gets their totalitarian paws on it: Whose internet is it anyway? link: 51 comments
I gotta get a pair of pajamas. Do sweats count?
But of course! I wear sweats in the winter- old house, cold house. It's the attitude that counts!
I keep the thermostat at 68 – and this apartment has major air leaks at the windows. The bedroom stays cold in the winter, but the sweats, a nice thick comforter and the little dog do wonders.
I know it's getting cold around here when the old dog hops up in bed with us. If it's merely chilly, she curls up around our legs, but if it's really cold, I'll wake up to find a wolf-face, tongue lolling out, on my shoulder. Always gives me a start to see all those teeth so close!

The poorly chosen words of a high-ranking executive of the Liberal Party of Canada (Ontario) hsa resulted in his resignation.
In my rush to wrap up before the Christmas break, I missed the last Ipsos/CanWest polling on the Canadian elections -- one which appears to dispute a number of other media polling done in the last few weeks. Ipsos reports that the national numbers have the Conservatives trailing the Liberals by a single point (33-32). Even in the Liberal stronghold of Ontario, the Tories have remained within two points of the Grits, 40-38: Comments (7) "I remain in total shock at what a disaster the Liberal's campaign has been so far. Even though the polls the Captain cites here are interesting, I do think that the Liberal internal polls are far worse. I have never seen a campaign smack of such desperation." Canada starts to show the signs of civil war.

Now, the Financial Times has released results of an investigation into how the UN vacuumed up tsunami aid dollars;
Shades of CIDA.
Of course, this is the same "media community" who have remained virtually silent on Liberal party connections to the UN Oil-For-Food scandal.
Is the silence because they simply don't know - or because they know too much?
A lonely gatekeeper pines for the good old days, when ordinary citizens knew their place in the political debate;
