Weekending: have the unions killed the Queen?

Howdy weekenders. Let's talk a walk in the internet-o-sphere;

• Recently came across the blog Bearded Socialist.
• And then there's Progressive Politics.
• The Curious Happenings of Airstrip One.
• Great blog title: Flip flopping joy.
  

• Have the unions killed the queen? asks the Daily Mail-o-matic. Yes, I think they have.
• Real headline: Stoned Wallabies make crop circles.
  
• Is environmentalism a new religion? No. It isn't.
  
• Mapping new coal across Britain. Coal in the UK.
  
• Good source for info on Iran.

• 1st August come along to the LRC vs Hopi cricket match to raise money for Iranian workers.
  

Quote of the week comes from no less an august source as Harry S. Truman, it seemed apt;

All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.
