Anonymous lobbyists rule the world!

Today’s netcast comes from someone else’s laptop, as mine is distinctly ill:

Two Doctors - Could Land Value Tax replace Council Tax in Scotland soon?

Green Ben’s Kemptown Blog - Time to smash the Home Office’s institutional homphobia.

Dreaming of Simplicity - On the value of happiness.

Feministing - Asks what’s wrong with casual sex?

BoRev - Quoth a Chevron Corporation lobbyist: “We can’t let little countries screw around with big companies like this.” Yes, he actually said that, to the media. Anonymously.

Adam Smith was a Socialist - Do politicians need to reflect the electorate (or, rather, demographics)?

Daily Kos - Obama doesn’t have a white working class or Hispanic problem. Just a Republican one.
