I've not done a round-up for a bit so have a bit of a backlog, let's see if I can clear some of it with some interesting articles and some updates on stories I've covered so far.

• First I want to point to Cath Elliott's piece on CiF about MP Nadine Dorris' latest confessions that she regularly lies to her constituents. Astonishing.
  
  
• I don't think I've ever linked to Climate Cassandra before, so now's the time.
  
  
• The two 'to watch' trends in blogging are group blogs and local blogs. The Charlton Champion is an excellent example of the latter.
  
  
• Frogblog has a follow up on the Hobbit industrial dispute.
  
  
• Prisoner Ben updates us on how the cuts are effecting his prison.
  
  
• The Dominion Post has a really interesting piece on the new Green Mayor in Wellington.
