"I don't think that being a strong person is about ignoring your emotions and fighting your feelings. Putting on a brave face doesn't mean you're a brave person. That's why everybody in my life knows everything that I'm going through. I can't hide anything from them. People need to realise that being open isn't the same as being weak."

The Secret World of a Propaganda Minister.

I have estimated that I have perhaps 100 steady readers.

Of them, I suppose a dozen or so are people I know. Mostly people I love, and people I hate. And The Propaganda Minister. He's in a class of his own.

I do urge you to check out his blog, The Secret World of a Propoaganda Minister (I wonder where he got that from?). The Propaganda Minister is an extremely intelligent, capable, witty political young man - although not as much as he thinks he is - and has some, um, unusual opinions. And some lovely graphics of our school principal and the Prime Minister.

FYI, TPM, Ein Joll looks exactly like Umbridge.

As probably one of the ~80 steady readers who you don't know personally, I think Secret world of a Propaganda Minister is very interesting.

I was especially interested to read about Emma being connected to Meiji Dynasty/Empire and the filial piety.

And was it wrong for me to think of "It makes me laugh" in (I later realised) Phantom of the Opera?

There are some good ones in the tradition. I am thinking of "Chemical Ali", Information Minister of Iraq during the War on Terror.

Always enjoy a little enlightened subversion.
