Gore Vidal.
"There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party ... and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently ... and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties"

One of a very rare breed, a truly cultured Australian!
Wrote one of the best books out on the history of Penal settlement in Australia (The Fatal Shore), and two of the finest art documentary series made, The Shock of the New and American Visions (the latter is all available via You Tube.) To sample his writing I thoroughly recommend his collection of essays "Nothing if Not Critical" if you can get hold of a copy or alternatively, try his recent history of the city of Rome.

I saw him do a show with Dave Gorman once. He was hilarious, and a proper boffin too, as it turned out he was a bit of an authority on the classics.
How did he end up commentating on darts ?

It was his job.
And it was a job he wanted to do, which he almost created from scratch.

Neil Armstrong has just died following complications after a heart operation.
A total hero in every way, a quiet unassuming legend.
Going to read Moondust again tonight. RIP Neil...

Very sad. How many of the astronauts who landed on the moon are still alive? Moondust must be a few years old by now.
The moon landings still prompt a sense of awe in me that The Onion perfectly captured.

From a statement by his family
"For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a "
