WHEN I shared some of my opinions with Carlos Conde, I didn’t know what John was going to post in his Thursday entry. So without knowing it, there you have it: John’s views and my views concerning the significance of the coming elections. Add Amando Doronila’s analysis, stir, and serve.

As a short aside, there’s an interesting analysis of the first debate between the leading Democratic party contenders for the presidency. The article has some links to articles in Pollster.com, which features two professional pollsters, Mark Blumenthal and Charles Franklin. I wish our own pollsters would do something similar.

For those skeptical of, or unsure when it comes to interpreting, surveys and survey firms, a recent speech by Mahar Mangahas of Social Weather Stations makes for interesting reading. He explains what all these things are.

(Click above to download the speech).

Sooner or later, the debate on the national language policy of our country crops up in the papers -and in the courts. I just thought I’d point out three interesting links: read about language policy in Malaysia; and language policy in India and the debates that crop up.
