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
freemania – Measuring inequality: a story with two ends
Statistic tart Tom Freeman is at it again. Personally I think that if you eat those hamburgers that come in a tin with gravy, you must be poor.

FlyingRodent – What I Thought When That Iraq War Invasion Thing Was Being Planned And How I Decided Not To Support It, Because It Was a Stupid Idea, And That
FR interviewing himself. It’s brutal, funny, and brilliant.

David Brooks/NYT – The Long Defeat
C’mon Hill. Enough is enough. How much more damage can you do to the party? Quote: “She possesses the audacity of hopelessness.”

A Very Public Sociologist – Socialist Strategy After the Third Way
Informed naval-gazing about the state of the Labour Party and centre-left parties on the continent. Interesting.

Elsewhere
Gavin Whenman – Politalks 8 [audio only this week]
Left of Centre – Mistaken or Lie? [hilarious photoshoping of HRC]
Cassilis – This weeks Think Tank Roundup…
Dave Cole – Edmund Burke on Nadine Dorries
Through The Scary Door – Big up the teachers
Remembering the Ability in Disability – Thank you very much, Channel 4!
Indigo Jo Blogs – Omar Bakri expresses dim view of Amir Khan
Question That – Ken vs Boris on the Issues (2): Crime
Love and Liberty – President Sarkozy Makes Sense

Cheers as always for the link :-)

That scary door is quite scary.

“That’s why Lindsay German’s campaign for mayor is so important.”

LOL!
