2006 – one week in

A week into the new year and I'm already hoping that things change pretty quickly. Over the last seven days, the news has been almost relentlessly bad. From Ariel Sharon's illness causing certain instability in a region which needs more instability like it does... well, like it needs a brain hemorrhage... to further violence and murder in Iraq; from more evidence of corruption in Washington DC to evidence of tiger mosquitoes in our house even in January.

There is some good news on the horizon though... television has picked up after an awful Christmas season, and More4 will screen a series of films on the Iraq war next week.
