\nThe only acceptable excuse for not regularly reviewing the best photoblog there is<\/a> is that you only internet at work (some images include arty nudity). Everyone else, get on to it. It reliably makes me laugh, gasp, and marvel.
\nLast night I went along to the local Drinking Liberally, where the speaker was Gordon Campbell, brilliant journo formerly of the now-broken Listener, currently delivering incredible election coverage for a pittance over on Scoop. If you are a New Zealander and you have the slightest interest in the fate of this nation, you owe it to yourself to get on to his Election 08 coverage<\/a>. Start right now with his latest piece, an analysis and discussion of our two main party leaders refusing to debate with our minor party leaders<\/a> – in a proportional system, that’s a big call. Top-notch stuff by one of NZ’s best journalists, free to the web. You can’t go wrong.
\nNo Right Turn linked to this and it is well worth your time: The Guardian writes about Jamie Oliver’s new show<\/a>. The continuing social\/political awakening of Jamie Oliver is one of the more welcome developments of the last decade – he is an incredibly high-profile figure with the capacity to reach a huge audience and shift perceptions around the incredibly important subject of food. This article writes about how, in his new show, he comes face to face with the UK working class who have lost the ability to manage their own nutrition; and, even more interesting, it shows recent research that demonstrates how buying crappy food makes rational sense<\/a> to those on a tight budget. Class still structures UK society.
\nSpeaking of class, check this out: this is the page to register to buy tickets at the Royal Opera House in London<\/a>. Have a look at the drop-down options for “Title” – it goes somewhat further than “Mr, Mrs, Ms.” (This one tipped off by the Private Eye.)
\nObYouTube: David Letterman reacts to John McCain snubbing him. He doesn’t take it too well. (This one has been all over the web for the last week.)

\nAnd finally, this was surely the most incredible kids media content of the 80s – the ridiculous, gory and downright amazing Dinosaur Attacks cards from Topps<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
