Brand me a neo-nazi if you like, but I’m a bit fed up with all the British media labeling the two right-wing parties who did so well in Austria yesterday as "far right". Cultural populists they might be, anti-EU integration they certainly are, but are they far right?
Take for example this photo in today’s Daily [...]
Sums it all up.
Radical Move to Right in Austria – Kurier [de]
Far Right gains in Austria vote – BBC
This "far right" thing is getting a bit annoying.

Haider’s BZÖ has done remarkably better than anybody expected
The two right wing parties (FPÖ and BZÖ) have easily out-performed the centre-right ÖVP and together have even more votes than the Social Democrats. It is likely that if [...]

Firstly, the good, nay, fantastic Ausseer Hardbradler live in concert with "Hoamweh nach BA"
Next, the bad, nay, horrendous. Sadly this song actually sold more copies in the UK than Falco. Shame on you all.
Finally, the ugly. How many of you knew these guys came from Austria? No, [...]

I’m getting a teensy weensy bit fed up with the number of conservatives (christian and political) criticising Rowan Williams for his usage of Marx in critiquing modern capitalism and especially the events of the last few weeks or so. Here’s the actual paragraph that many have taken exception to.
Fundamentalism is a religious word, not inappropriate [...]
