Welcome to the second edition of "The Weekly Planet."This week I'm staying away from the presidential primaries. Romney will win the republican nomination and then lose handily to Obama. Instead we'll look at a fine conservative institution.

My girlfriends mother died in Alzheimers. I wrote a song that she is singing in this video which by the way is a free guitar lesson at the same time. Sorry for a few sentences in Swedish at the beginning. My friend, the guitarist, is saying "this is how I play the song ››Strong As Death‹‹"

It may come as a surprise to the reader, and certainly was a surprise to me, to learn that religious fervour as we know it today was far less prominent in the Islamic societies of the past. Islam’s role was mainly highlighted and utilised during conflicts. Pure and true Islam, as it is applied today by the the Wahhabis and Talibans, was seldom put to full practice after the death of Mohammed and his companions. Although the Islamic dynasties were generally oppressive, but there have…Continue

Excerpt from Primo Levi's 'The Drowned and The Saved', a collection of essays depicting his time at the Concentration (extermination) camps :-
'I too entered the Lager as a nonbeliever, and as a nonbeliever I was liberated and have lived to this day. Actually, the experience of the Lager with its frightful iniquity confirmed me in my non-belief.

So, let's all pay attention to…
