- Going Rogue by Sarah Palin
Not a fan of the book – "There is no coherence in this kind of world view. There is no consistent principle at the core of this tale. 'Common' sense is that sensibility which recognises her and her kind as good, others bad. Palin's supporters are "patriots", her political opponents are not. She says she wants to reform Washington even as she wants no part of it. She longs to be centre stage, even as she longs to go home. She refers endlessly to her patriotism, but seems to loathe the legal system, political parties and the constitutional balance of powers upon which the republic's foundations rest."
- Dubai: Bling City is dead, but the desert dream lives on
"The strategy worked until the credit crisis – prompted by a collapse in property prices – threw a spanner in the works of the global financial system. No one wanted to lend any more to Dubai's property-obsessed economy. No one wanted to buy the "iconic high-rise waterside lifestyle developments" that were planned for the bone-dry desert."

- Lucy Mangan: It's time we told politicians nobody cares
“I am coming to the conclusion that it is time we broke the bad news to them and to all politicians. We just don't care. No, really, even less than you thought. Less than even in your furthest and worst imaginings. We try, some of us, sometimes, to do so. But a) mostly we don't, and b) when we do, it never works. And yet on and on the politicians go, fretting, posturing, pirouetting and focus-grouping themselves into a frenzy, and nobody ever takes it upon themselves to do our elected officials the inestimable kindness of telling them that nobody gives even the smallest smidgen of the tiniest monkey's bum.”
