From my review at LC ::
Political Betting - Keith Mothersson, guesting at PB, shares his worries about Republican electoral corruption, and how an Obama win may be denied.
Obsolete - What is it about 80-ft yachts that so irritates the average mortgage-slave? Answers on a postcard. Also: just how far up Murdoch's arse is Slippery Dave prepared to go? Again, answers...
Amused Cynicism - While refuting aspects of a fellow blogger's review of V for Vendetta, 'cabalamat' widens the debate on partisan blame for the erosion of civil liberties. Money-quote: "If you think the Tories would be significantly better on civil liberties, I think you are deluding yourself." Amen.
Paul Linford - It's Saturday, so it's time for Paul's must-read Journal column. This week's subject, unsurprisingly, is baby-faced muppet George Osborne, who this week got pwned by Mandy.
Talking Points Memo - The McCain campaign sort to stoke 'race attack' reports before the facts were known. The woman who claimed that a black Obama supporter beat her and carved a "B" into her face, has admitted that she made the story up. (pssst! Maybe that the "B" appeared to be back-to-front was the clue?)
The Curvature - Prostitutes can't be raped, apparently. Society sucks.
Earthpal - Common sense on sex education. Hyperbolic morons such as Sayeeda Warsi, would do well to give it a read.
