  1. And finally…..one of the negative aspects of globalisation is that British prisons find themselves with numbers of foreign prisoners who have to be provided with information in their own language. This can cause problems as highlighted in a recent report by the Chief Inspector of Prisons, Nick Hardwick, after a visit to Lincoln:

    “Staff were concerned that some translations were not entirely accurate, one example being a Russian handbook which had translated ‘exercise yard’ as ‘execution yard’.

    “Not entirely”, Mr. Hardwick ?

  2. Speaking of Palin, she said this the other day:

    “We know that Obama wasn’t vetted through the campaign, and now, you know, some things are coming home to roost, if you will, which is inexperience, his associations, and that ultimately harms our republic when a candidate isn’t—isn’t vetted by the media, that cornerstone of our democracy.”

    Seems she’s now in favor of having the media look at candidates closely and ask tough questions.
