Katrina rains down calamity… so we, of course, look for a scapegoat
By Niall Ferguson
(Filed: 04/09/2005)

Disasters happen. Two hundred and fifty years ago, on November 1, 1755, the Portuguese capital, Lisbon,
was flattened by an earthquake that killed thousands of its inhabitants. Like the hurricane that inundated New Orleans last week,
the calamity inspired not only awe at the power of nature and sympathy for the helpless victims, but also all kinds of moral commentary.
None was more profound than that of the French philosopher Voltaire.

The traditional assembly of attention seekers, hand-waving thespians and artistic extroverts that annually descend on Edinburgh for a month of theatrical festivities is set to be joined this year by the antics of an unlikely soul-mate - the normally secluded bedroom blogger.

The writing on the wall

The biggest loser of the Commonwealth games, says graffiti artist Banksy,

is Melbourne's street art scene - and London could be next for the whitewash

Friday March 24, 2006
The Guardian

Melbourne is the proud capital of street painting with stencils. Its large, colonial-era walls and labyrinth of back alleys drip with graffiti that is more diverse and original than any other city in the world. Well, that was until a few weeks ago, when preparations for the Commonwealth games brought a tidal wave of grey paint, obliterating years of unique and vibrant culture overnight.

This may seem like no great tragedy to readers of the Daily Mail, but Melbourne's graffiti scene is a key factor in its status as the continent's hothouse of creativity and wilful individualism.

How long will Louisiana's huddled masses have to wait for shelter?

Sunday September 4, 2005
The Observer
Richard Luscombe in Miami

The famous line from the poem chiselled into the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty - 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free' - has never been more poignant. A refugee crisis unprecedented in America's history is unfolding across its southern states.

Up to a million people need shelter. For now, their homes are sports stadia in Texas, college dormitories in Mississippi, churches, schools, hotels, community centres and private homes.

But with the draining of New Orleans expected to take up to nine months, and hundreds of thousands of homes destroyed, more permanent solutions must be found - and quickly.

'The scale of this disaster is so large that it is an entirely new challenge for emergency planners, and they can't do it alone,' said Rutherford H Platt, a professor of geography at the University of Massachusetts.

Sodom and Begorrah:
case of the crown jewels, the courtiers and a gay cover-up

It all happened in the Ireland of 1907, when Edward VII went ballistic after somebody stole the Irish Crown Jewels from Dublin Castle. The extraordinary details of the theft, and the facts that the jewels have never been recovered and the culprits never found, have given rise to a rich crop of theories about what really happened.

(...)

Shackleton, Vicars' assistant, remains the prime suspect. He was one of a number of homosexual residents and employees at the castle, some of whom had colourful pasts. There were said to be drunken parties on the premises, with decades of rumours of "unnatural vice" going on behind its well-guarded walls. One nationalist politician intent on emphasising British corruption, referred to it as "Sodom and Begorrah". The fact that Shackleton was a friend of the Duke of Argyll is one reason George VII may have been his protector. Certainly someone up there liked Shackleton: one official report was generally inconclusive but made a point of declaring his innocence.
