Highlights

The Golden Strawberry – Food for Thought
There is a global food shortage, people are starving, so please, don’t bitch about the price of bread.

Political Betting – Will the plagiarism charge hurt Barack?
Call it a tribute, dude. Anyway, IMO, it makes Hillary look desperate.

The Daily (Maybe) – Ed Rooksby: The Global ‘Credit Crunch’ and the Media
Fancy a vitriolic left-wing tirade against capitalism? Then look no further.

As poor gap-year blogger Max Gogerty begins his travels in a foul teenage sulk, Tim Ireland turns attention on those who put him up to be shot down.

Steve Richards/Independent – British politics will never be the same again
There is a bigger story behind NR: reckless deregulation of the banking sector.

Wonderfully written defence of McCain’s conservative honour.
