Top blogging this week

There are weeks when other people save you the bother of posting it yourself.

On subsidies to the energy industry...

1. Nick Drew points out that your enemy's enemy is sometimes your friend.

On the whole 'ban smoking in cars' hysteria.

2. Bill Quango MP saves the best until the end of this.

3. Chris Snowdon is one of the go-to blogs for this sort of thing, but he ended up being beaten hands down by JohnB in the comments. JohnB merely forgot to point out that Britain's boozers, once sparsely visited places at best because the smoke drove all right-thinking people away are now teeming with life and flourishing hubs of the community.

4. Dick Puddlecote, the other go-to, veers close to forgetting what 'public health' actually means (but redeems himself in the comments).

On the weather

5. Daily Mash state the bleedin' obvious.

I'm sure there were others, but I wasn't keeping a list.
