I have at least four really great ideas for blog posts and not enough energy to do them. But here is one vague stab at one that occurred to me earlier. I was reading about the budget cuts in Britain. Now, I dislike a Tory government as much as the next person but while reading this made me angry, it also made me feel sane. It was, after all, what I would expect of a conservative government. It is consistent with conservative values: smaller government, cuts in education, science and the arts; most of all, they are actually trying hard to balance the budget. And I feel about that much like I feel about Margaret Thatcher - I disagree with the policy, but I value that it is, at least, consistent. No extra spending on defense, and yes, even a tax hike for some higher income families. So they can balance the budget. It's a close to respecting the Tories I have come in a long time. Except then I remember that they are after the BBC, and anyone who threatens the BBC will be slapped with a wet towel repeatedly. No, you may not.

I'm with Mitch Benn on this. Did I mention Doctor Who?
