High-Times


by Aaron Murin-Heath    

Welcome to Casting the net, Liberal Conspiracy’s daily web review. As always, please feel free to share your own recommendations in the comments.

westmonster – From that most industrious governmental department, The Office for Placating the Daily Mail, comes Labour’s latest muddled U-Turn: smoking pot is again a heinous and terrible crime, which may result in 14 years in a PlayStation-adorned redbrick gulag.
Obsolete – Unsurprisingly, septicisle is similarly unimpressed with the drug’s reclassification.
Love and Garbage – It seems that those high flying Labour egg-heads, weren’t the bee’s knees after all.
tygerland – Where I convey my exasperation at being forced to watch Hillary flush more of her fading credibility down the toilet.
Karl Rove – Bush’s former chief strategist observes the race and concludes it’s over for Hillary. He also agrees with me, that McCain is the best candidate to beat Obama.
Political Betting – Suggests that with Hillary’s debts rocketing, Obama may simply pay her off.
UPDATE: Missed this, Robin Lustig makes a prediction. Brave man!
Alix Mortimer – At tea-time with Clegg, Alix finds that Cameron really is a vacuous “PR tosser”.
