DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Sarah Ismail

Hello Readers! I’m your new Friday NetCaster. I’d like to present a new feature, Friday Fun. Something to smile at, just because it’s Friday. Enjoy!

Blairwatch - This week’s NetCast starts with the Friday Fun link, just because we’re in alphabetical order. Being a poet myself, I enjoyed this effort.

Derek Wall - The Green Bible has arrived!

Feministing - I’m sorry, Jessica. I have never understood why people can’t read books before unneccessarily insulting their authors either. All the best for when your book actually gets published.

Ministry of Truth - Is God a delusion? WARNING: LONG.

Victoria Brignell/New Statesman - New Statesman’s resident DisAbled writer on the highs and lows of all her different wheelchairs.

Pickled Politics/Kulvinder - A short history of the banking crisis. Excellent.

Robert Sharp - Tells us why he thinks Obama will win the race to the White House. I hope he’s right.

Stumbling and Mumbling - What really matters in modern politics?

Tinuvielberen - On Sexism.

Send your favourite links to tips[at]liberalconspiracy[dot]org and if we like them, they’ll make the round-up. See you next week!

· About the author: Sarah is a DisAbled blogger with a degree in Creative Writing. She is currently working with a publisher while dreaming of writing a bestselling novel. Sarah blogs at Remembering the Ability in Disability about DisAbility issues big and small.

Surely “WARNING: LONG” is a tautology when applied to one of Unity’s novels posts? ;)

I like Friday fun. I am running out of stuff for showbiz and cookery on sundays. Mostly because I’m not massively interested in either…

Thanks for your comments, Jennie.

I haven’t read enough Unity yet to know that the length of his posts is nothing new!

Jennie: I see my reputation precedes me yet again… ;)

Sarah: You’ll get used to it - I do the research so others don’t have to…
