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

Highlights
Jock’s Place – Drugs and deadly sins: unbiblical and unchristian
A recent Vatican PR stunt, re-releasing the “Seven Deadly Sins” for contemporary life, has included the taking of drugs. Nonsense! The bible clearly promotes the enjoyment of God’s weed. Alex Parsons and New Humanist have more, as does the always noteworthy Mr. Eugenides. But as you’d expect, Mr. E’s take is certainly NSFW.

Alix Mortimer/LDV – Diary of a Conference Jade (aged a great deal): Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
Insider commentary from the Lib Dem crowd. With added wine.

Obsolete – Celebrities ate my homework.
Blaming celebrities for society’s ills and political failures is weak, but predictable.

Earthpal – Gold Medal for Most Greenwashed Games?
Don’t believe the nonsense about 2012 being the greenest ever. Not when the suits are demanding over 3,000 chauffeur-driven cars.

Chicken Yoghurt – Patriots: still a bit nuts in the head
Justin’s take on the proposed Oath of Allegiance. Personally, it’ll be a cold day in hell before I allow my kids to pledge allegiance to the establishment.
