Is The Internet The End of History?

I’m a great fan of the internet – but I do worry about it sometimes. There was an amazing article in The Sunday Times Magazine this weekend about all the significant, historical moments that took place in 1989 and how they’ve affected the shape of the world since – the end of Communism in Russia, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the initiation of talks to free Nelson Mandela.

Carol Ann Duffy Confirmed as the First Female Poet Laureate

Following a flurry of speculation over the past year, it has been confirmed that Carol Ann Duffy is the new Poet Laureate in the UK, succeeding Andrew Motion who has held the title for the last 10 years.

Miss California "Clarifies": The Bible Told Me So!

During the Miss USA pageant, Miss California said that she felt marriage should be between a man and a woman - no offense! Perez Hilton wasn't too pleased with her - he called her a dumb bitch. I rarely agree with Perez, but on this one, we're in agreement. Miss California went on the Today Show to defend her statement, and she didn't do that great of a job.

Following Miss California’s homophobic faux-pas at last weekend’s Miss USA pageant, I’m sure many of you are done with beauty contents altogether (if you weren’t already). Her controversial answer to Perez Hilton’s question on same-sex marriage epitomised how out-of-date such competitions are.
