I Blame the Church

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.

Hehe, on the first of these drafts I was letting my mind wander and typed ‘Iris Murdoch’ instead of Iris Robinson. My apologies are extended to the late, and great, author.

Thanks for the link to my second blog, Douglas.

I swear your NetCasts get posted earlier every time! And I thought I didn’t have a life…

Thanks Douglas, this is a really interesting NetCast (not that the others haven’t been!)

The ‘purity ball’ phenomenon is deeply unsettling *shudders*.
