Darfur and Paille

No, even if Paille has been accused of many things, saddling the Darfur crisis on him is not what I intend by the title (I just seem to have the habit of always having a few separate topics to mention when I write up posts. Think of it as getting 2 for the price of 1).

First up, Wells has a good link to the Gazette article digging up some stuff about Paille, the new guy investigating the polling scandal (PollScam?) The good news from that is that it seems in the past Paille has been a fan of under the table money, and giving contracts to people who give positive reviews of the government. Maybe he'll be friendly to our old shady dealings?

Secondly, some Google news which I found interesting. It seems that Google and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum have teamed up to let people know what's going on in Darfur. Called Crisis in Darfur, it's a bunch of markings on Google Earth showing the destruction going on in Darfur. A nice initiative that will let people know that maybe it's not all rosy everywhere.
