More on the British election, for members of the class who haven't fallen asleep:
Chicken Yoghurt has more on the emergence of Iraq as an issue. He also has an excerpt from the Radio 4 interview I mentioned yesterday, as well as a link to the interview (scroll down to 8:10). Go listen, and tell me you too don't have fantasies of John Humphrys and George Bush, one on one, live....
Another good source of Brit election blog is Election Blog Roundup. Go here to see which candidate is getting the smirk wiped off his face today.
Nosemonkey summarizes the "If you're against the war you're pro-Saddam" argument crap. This is crying out to be said, and I'm glad Nosemonkey has said it.
The news here is that there's no news. The election is boring, say the pundits. Granted, it's not as fascinating (and repugnant) as Swift Boat Veterans for "Truth" but it has its rousing moments: Long-time Labour MP Brian Sedgemore has defected to the LibDems. He's urging voters to "give Mr. Blair a bloody nose."
He should join Reg Keys, campaigning against Tony Blair in Sedgefield, who deserves his own swift boat, if not a constituency.
The Guardian thinks blogs are "pencil sucking" left-wing and—gasp—"male." Maybe Mark Lawson should talk to Kevin Drum.
If you're not into text, try this, from Kontraband, which isn't as good as "This Land is Your Land" from JibJab, but Woody Guthrie didn't write songs about the old country for use as parody.
Meanwhile, I'll be here today, mingling with actual British subjects. If they're not careful, I'll blog about them tomorrow, or else I'll just suck some more pencils.
