Rather eclectic and early this morning. But, I need to leave early, so:

Splintered Sunrise - Iris Robinson equates homosexuality and sodomy with paedophilia. And Gordon Brown would rather work with her party than the Labour backbenches.

Feministing - justifiably finds Time Magazine’s fetishization of prepubescent girls sexuality very creepy.

Sarah Wildman - How, precisely, does Bush plan to cut abortion rates by restricting contraception and sex education? Note, as in both of the above, the (corrupting) role of religious dogma.

This is Zimbabwe - reacts to the Memorandum of Understanding between Mugabe and Tsvangirai.

An Onymous Lefty - Will Kevin Rudd restate Australia’s opposition to the death penalty – or do what any other self-respecting post-New Right leader would do, and cower before the pollsters?

Machine Gun Keyboard - AP assumes bloggers are an amorphous mass, and leaps at them. Could they misunderstand the internet any more?

The DisAbled Feminist - reacts to the success of the Southall Black Sisters campaign for survival.

Dreaming of Simplicity – considers electoral reform in the UK and France.
