In the absence of any energy from me, check out Tim Worstall’s latest Britblog Roundup – it features a couple of things from this very site, so it must be good…

Oh, and as us bloggers (and apparently our readers) are all so omphaloskepsisary, this article from the Sunday Times on the growth of e-politics may be of interest. Apparently, “the more time people spend online, the more interested in politics they become”.

Just past midnight update: Good, if entirely unrelated, stuff from The Obscurer – “nothing short of complete totalitarianism, a sort of The Prisoner meets 1984, can prevent terrorists from murdering people if they are determined to, and if the intelligence just isn�t available.”

Oh, and if you haven’t already, watch this.
