I also have a current affairs blog at tweetextensions.com, which focuses on the Muslim world.

Get ahead: Run your own traffic exchangeI'm rarely as enthusiastic about a script as I am about this traffic exchange script from VS-TrEx Software. It stands head and shoulders above all the others, as you will soon realize if you click on either the ad or the link below. There could hardly be a better way of promoting your business – and of getting ahead of your competitors. Click here.
Readbud.com: It looks like another scamWhen I signed up on July 25, I welcomed the chance to make money by simply reading short articles. I soon be-
came suspicious, however. I noted the poor quality of much of the writing, the lack of any stated authorship, and the lack of clickable links to companies/services that might have paid for the respective articles to be placed. 7.28.10
PeopleString: Money-making social networkNow that PeopleString has a social network, which is integrated with FaceBook, it's definitely worth joining – even if you don't expect to make any significant sums of money here. (At the time of writing, I have earned the princely sum of 10c!) If you sign up, you will get email, forum, blog, chat room and photo album facilities. 3.19.10
When is a blog not a blog? When it's adilbookzI recently submitted this blog to blogcatalog.com, where my kiwidollar.com blog is indexed, only to have it rejected. Apparently, it's not a blog, or it fails to measure up in some other respect: it exists "solely for commercial purposes" (not so!) or it "doesn't have enough content to make it truly valuable" (again, not so!). I guess that, to be a "blog", your entries must be strictly, conventionally chronological. 3.21.10
Dark dossier: The Andrew Roberts fileThe name Andrew Roberts meant nothing to me in early 2009, when the New Zealand Herald republished an article he had written about George W Bush. (See Legacy the Bush-Haters Will Loathe.) To say that I read this with incredulity is an understatement. On some points, it appeared to be inaccurate; on others, seriously misleading. One would never guess, for example, that "extraordinary rendition" was anything more than the transportation of suspects on special flights. I was (and still am) stunned by the fact this man is regarded by some as an eminent historian.
Gunning for Gog: Bush goes bonkersEvery conflict in the Middle East reignites millenarian expectations among Christian Zionists, who eagerly anticipate the Second Coming and the destruction of all "evildoers" — particularly opponents of the "divinely sanctioned" Zionist colonization of Palestine. Hence George W Bush's belief he was battling Gog and Magog (in Revelation, enemies of God) in Iraq. Click.
Maori and the holocaust of colonialismBeing Maori — assuming you have enough "Maori DNA" in you to "qualify" as a Maori in the eyes of racial purists — means knowing your place, or at least not making too much fuss about the injustices and atrocities your forebears suffered at the hands of British colonists in the 19th century. Associate Maori Affairs Minister Tariana Turia discovered this on August 29, 2000, when she was bold enough to use the dreaded "H" word. She evidently didn't realize that the Maori received more than adequate compensation for their suffering in the form of the blessings of civilization brought by the British. Click to read more.
