John Fitzpatrick. About New China, the Koreas, Myanmar, Thailand, and also about Japanese and Chinese writers and poets. The main emphasis is on North Asia and the political tectonics of this very important, powerful, and many-peopled area.

I am not sure if Australia can beat Peru tonight. Peru hasn't done well, but nor has Australia. Neither were expected to do well and both have lived up to that expectation. Worth watching just to see Tim Cahill on the field. He actually can score goals from time to time, and, yes, he is a bit of a dickhead, but, well... he's... OUR dickhead. So the head-on clash begins here at Midnight...the Australian Cassowary (primal, defensive, territorial, vicious, & can kill with one kick) pitched against the Peruvian Llama (deceptively cuddly, 4 leg advantage, and can spit in your face a lot). It IS the World Game!

It is refreshing to me, as an old communist, to see the Union flags on top of the big cranes building Melbourne in the second decade of the 21st century. Well done, comrades, you came through, and ensured yourself and your families that you got well paid, when everyone else was weak and buckled under. Well done CFMEU! You have a damn good flag! You've done well.
