DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Douglas Johnson

Back Towards the Locus - The Republicans don’t like flowers, it seems.

Harpymarx - Workfare doesn’t work and isn’t fair.

Iain Simons - Someone scrubbed Sarah Palin’s wiki profile just before her nomination - and so started a rather interesting debate about Wikipedia and online democracy.

Stroppyblog - on political rabbits in the headlights and young people.

Shuggy’s Blog - Have we all complletely misunderstood the US constitution, and indeed the nature of rationality?

New Direction - on Labour and fascism.

I never thought I’d see the day where this site would follow in the footsteps of Nadine Dorries and close down a comment form. What a wonderfully weird world we live in.
