DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Jennie Rigg

Andy Worthington soberly marks seven years of Gitmo.

Strange Frontier posts approvingly (albeit slightly swearily) about the Atheist Bus Campaign. Wardman Wire has a contrasting post.

Peter Black, AM likens the current Labour administration to John Major’s Tories (Spitting Image version)

Helen Duffet fangirls Darwin, and wonders what sort of a blogger he would have been (little does she know he also fanboys her work at LDV!)

Stephen Glenn and Septicisle have photo posts about the Gaza rallies.

UK Polling Report has two posts about the YouGov Euro poll.

Quick links to stuff that amused me: sexy Vince picture on political betting shock; Sunny has a fanboy even more shock; Alex Wilcock putting his Liberal boot in to the Apple Corporation YAY; and The Honourable Lady Mark is an international success (I think I may faint).

And finally, for those of you who just can’t get enough links, the 69th Carnival of Feminists is up at This is What a Feminist Blogs Like.

Oh yeah, Windows is clearly more liberal than Mac OS.

I think.

Alex loses me when he writes, I’m no huge fan of Microsoft, but I use a PC. Surely that should be, I’m no huge fan of Microsoft, because I use a PC.

Just sayin’.

Yeah. Microsoft and PC being used as interchangeable terms annoys me too.

Well, vernacular changes meaning.

Language involves.
