It is extraordinary that nobody has written a narrative history of Italy's Great War in English before. For this was not a minor sideshow in the First World War: Italy entered it more or less gratuitously, without the imperatives of survival that animated the other combatants, and was duly sneered at in London and Paris for being both venally calculating and lacking in military fervour. But once it got stuck into the vertiginous task of trying to dislodge the Austro-Hungarian empire from its strongholds high in the Alps, its soldiers began learning inch by inch the same lessons about barbed wire, trenches, grenades, poison gas, cretinous leadership and jingo journalists as were being learned hundreds of miles to the north in Flanders.

It was the news that we were at war, well sort of, with Iceland that did it for me: we seemed, at last, to have come back to the Seventies. Only Nostradamus, and perhaps I, could have prophesied that Britain and this remote northerly island of a few hundred thousand inhabitants would resume the hostile relations that had given us one of the most esoteric conflicts of modern times: the Cod War.

The stock market had a good day. John McCain had a confused day, according to Marc Ambinder. Chris Orr agrees. McCain will reportedly have economic proposals to deliver tomorrow. Barack Obama's new economic plan would require a 90-day freeze on foreclosures, as well as other measures. Mark Penn praised Obama!? Hillary Clinton comes up with "jobs baby jobs." Having received a report that she abused her power as governor, Sarah Palin says she and McCain will end abuses of power. "There was a time, however, when conservatives upheld adult standards—such as clarity of speech and thought—without apology, even in the face of the relentless downward pull of adolescent culture," writes Heather Mac Donald. read more »

Not only are critics spilling praise over his fourth album A Piece of What You Need – the album went where none of his previous offerings had gone – to the Top 10 in the album chart.

The city comptroller's office expects 165,000 private sector jobs in the city to be lost because of the Wall Street downturn, nearly twice as many as predicted by the city in July. Here's the statement from City Comptroller Bill Thompson (who may or may not still be a mayoral candidate): Our current forecast anticipates that as many as 165,000 private-sector jobs will be lost throughout the city’s economy over the next 24 months, which compares to a forecast of 85,000 jobs lost in the Comptroller’s most recent budget report, issued in July. We now believe that as many as 35,000 of those job losses may come in the financial services industry; our previous forecast was that the industry would contract by 25,000 jobs. The differences reflect the spreading of the economic troubles to other industry sectors as the nation slips into a general recession.
