Slow News Day

Not much to comment on tonight. The top story appears to be that Tony Blair’s sister-in-law, in what must surely be an irritating development for the former P.M., has made an ostentatious conversion to Islam. (This woman, whose name is Lauren Booth, has been a burr under Mr. Blair’s saddle for some time now. Meanwhile, Mr. Blair is himself a newly minted Catholic — so I imagine he’ll at least take some comfort in the thought that when she falls off the branch she’s now going to go straight to Hell.)

We have two new websites on the sidebar:

The first, a blog, comes to us by way of a tip from Radio Derb. It’s called Federale, and its anonymous host appears to be an immigration agent, or something like that. He writes well, and passes along a lot of inside skinny. Here.

The second is for you logophiles: The Hot Word.

Have a look.

    Not too much to comment on? Apparently you haven’t seen the storm headed for Texas.

  5. Doesn’t the Catholic church allow for salvation outside the official church? Lauren Booth might yet make the grade . . .

  7. Tried to leave a comment here, but maybe the presence of hyperlinks brought the anti-spam software into play. This comment is a test.

  8. OK… the above comment got through, so I’m pretty sure the problem is hyperlinks versus anti-spam. I’ll leave a response on my own blog. Am happy to siphon traffic.
