DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Jennie Rigg

Sexual Intelligence has some tips for the new US surgeon General.

Mark Pack reviews a book about the internet on LDV, with special reference to how politics is affected.

UK Polling Report dissects the latest YouGov poll.

El Presidente Ros Scott made a speech in the Lords on transport the other day, and reproduces it at her blog.

Junkfood Science is a bit annoyed at the government’s Change4Life campaign.

Mr Gladstone is slightly miffed that Mr Darwin‘s bicentennial is recieving rather more attention than his own (there’s a lot of dead bloggers about, these days, isn’t there?).

And, as usual, SepticIsle has more.


I’d coded most of this before I realised someone else had already done the news review part because normally I do it myself on a Sunday, and if not the post is waiting for me in Drafts; today it appears to have posted itself. For your edification then, the original person’s news picks are here. You can now have fun comparing and contrasting ;)

UK polling report on the YouGov poll is very reassuring across the whole range of questions!

How strange that you don’t headline Brown’s/Labour’s collapse in the same way that you headlined his bounce…

Er… I didn’t headline his bounce. I can’t speak or the other netcasters/news coders, but I’m supremely indifferent to Gordon Brown.

This is the joy of this thing being a joint effort, you see. We all have our own way of doing it.

Jennie- just read your updated profile. When did you get engaged?

We were supposed to be getting married in May last year. ;)
