By The Fault
I know you've missed him, so it's my pleasure to annouce that Charles is back. He has spent the last several weeks 'walking the walk.' On his recent trip to Africa he visited Ethiopia, Chad (the border with Darfur), Uganda and finally Zimbabwe to assist the Zimbabwe Election Support Network in monitoring the recent elections in Zimbabwe. As you know if you've read his bio, he runs a a non-profit called The Living Arts Project that raises awareness and funds for other non-profits and assist them in their brand development and marketing. His main focus is rural development projects primarily building schools, libraries and community centers as well as sustainable development projects and micro-finance.
Charles seems to raise the hackles on the faint of heart here and so has decided to start his own blog. He will continue to offer the ocassional post on economics and history here but will save his most pointed offerings for his site. So, if you're inclined you can visit him at By The Fault his tagline says it all "seismic politics, earth-shattering economics and volcanic commentary". I suggested he use "slip sliding away" for a tagline, he's not asking for advice, but how many prefer my suggestion? It will be interesting to see how many of you just can't resist and sign up to comment there. His style isn't for the faint of heart, but love him or hate him, you can't accuse him of not having a clear point of view, and a passionate way of expressing it.

There's one good move, Charles.
Best of luck over there!

Wow - a whole category dedicated to Barack Obama - none for Clinton or McCain. Doesn't seem fair or balanced. What the site needs is a "dress up Obama" game like this one. You could include cute little military dictator outfits and mustaches like the one on Jonah Goldberg's cute book.

Wow, you had the stomach to visit his website?
I guess that I am a member of the "faint of heart". ;)

The dude's a walking, breathing parody...

I just looked around to see if he was insulting 1gm readers on his blog. No evidence of that.
He did however post about 20 Items in his first day, which seems to be more then his readers could keep up with.

I wondered when Charles would start his own blog. Thankfully, it was before he finished wrecking yours, Norm. ;)
