The Last Ditch by Tom Paine

I have no plans to write a full Blogpower Review (I have just enough strength left to fulfil my commitment to do ten) but I just want to say that one of my favourite blogs at the moment, in or out of Blogpower, is “As a Dodo”. The basic idea (“The obituaries you’d like to see”) is witty and the execution is proving to be just as good, with such gems as “Tony Blair’s Green Credentials”, “John Reid’s Fitness for Purpose” and, topically, “Celebrity Big Brother.”

Today’s “obituary” for the Home Office is really very clever – better than anything you can currently expect from our professional satirists. Have a look.
