DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Aaron Heath

Stroppyblog – Janine makes the case for sacking Ross and Brand. On the grounds that they’re both crap.

Pickled Politics – Sunny reports on the ground war telephone operations of both parties.

Chicken Yogurt – Justin vents at a world where Tony Blair earns £12m a year and poor Lesley Douglas has to walk. Interesting debate in the comments.

Left of Centrist – McCain loses it as voters in Red States court Obama [video/humour].

Crooked Timber – The banking crisis pales in significance to the gargantuan environmental catastrophe that looms large over our tortured planet.

Earthpal – It’s the first day of the hunt. Don’t worry, the hunting ban is a meaningless law that’s not enforced. Tally-ho!

The Daily (Maybe) – And to finish things off, we have a review of the new Bond movie. Hurrah!

The awesome Jennie is up tomorrow, and I’ll be back for a special election review on Tuesday. Bye. *waves*.

Just to be cheeky…here is my review of Quantum of Solace.

No worries.

Readers should consider the comments on these blog review posts as a place for self-promotion and sharing other links.

>>”Janine makes the case for sacking Ross and Brand. On the grounds that they’re both crap.”

YES.

Also, The Indy had a good post on it:

“Never mind the public’s outrage; in matters of radio and television the public has lost all right to outrage. You cannot vote The Paul O’Grady Show the Most Popular Entertainment Programme, EastEnders the Most Popular Serial Drama, and Ant and Dec the Most Popular Entertainment Presenter and then expect your judgement to carry weight.”

“So invariably misplaced is the moral indignation of the public that we have a duty to be offensive. “You don’t like it? Tough. Your estimation is of no value. You lack discernment. You lack discretion. You even lack morality.” “

In fact, an even better post is now up on CiF, with just about everything I wanted to say on it:
