Wednesday’s (personal name not day of the week) blog notes that Mary Harney has called for a Sinn Féin vote this polling day - albeit inadvertingly. Still, a fuck up is a fuck up.

Finally, Brian Greene has a great little cartoon on the mobile phone prison joe duffy scandal from last week.

(Thanks to Cian for, well, all the links to the above.)
