1. Britain & America on why the US presidential campaigns need to embrace British journos.
2. Harry's Place reckons the Muslim organisations who came out in favour of Ken Livingstone should be reported to the Charities Commission. PDQ.
3. Headmaster Blaney issues a report card on Gordon Brown's Cabinet. Oi, you at the back!
4. Bob Piper is picking fights with my West Ham blog readers and Newcastle fans. A word in your shell-like, Bob...

6. More excellence from the Spectator's James Forsyth in New Hampshire. This boy will go far.

8. John Redwood enthuses about Barack Obama. Who'd have thunk?
9. Burning our Money on Government IT disasters. Guess who's paying for them? Got it in one.
10. Biased BBC detects just a tweency bit of inhouse bias on the death of one of its presenters.

Yes, Forsyth is performing well. If he keeps it up he can aspire to a Wikipedia entry of his own in the near future :)

Re Tom Watson MP's alleged delusions of grandeur: delusions of adequacy, surely.
