First order of business: A very Happy Birthday to angledge!!!

And now, linkage of sheer randomness follows.

1. In case you've managed to miss this bit of brilliance, you must go check out the Theme from "Shaft," as written by Chaucer. Thanks to glaurung_quena for the heads-up.

2. Here's a screenshot from NBC's Today Show that accurately reflects what many of us really think of the Bush administration and its handling of the Plame case. Thanks to maggiesox for this one.

3. To fill your quota of stupid for the day, check out this article wherein Anheuser-Busch tries to convince us that putting the name of a beer into the name of a drinking game doesn't mean you should play the game with actual, you know, BEER. Duh? Thanks to skreeky for this one.

4. Your "oh shit" moment for the day comes courtesy of girliejones and is the news that the recent earthquake in Asia may have shifted thousands of landmines along the India/Pakistan border, such that it's now impossible to know where they might be. Yikes.

5. And finally, in truly amazing and inspiring news, you must read this fairly lengthy article, with pictures, about a 17-year-old boy who was born with no legs but who now plays on his high-school football team. I shit you not. Go read it, it's incredible.

'Nuff for now, more later.

Heh, if they don´t know where the landmines are in Pakistan and India you can add it to the thousands of landmines that were laid in Vietnam and Cambodia that aren´t mapped, not to mention the occasional sea mine that´s floating around from bloody WWII.

Landmines are fucking evil and I still don´t know why anyone thinks they are fantastic ideas.

Best hodgepodege, ever. How did I ever miss hearing the hilarious details about Bill "Falafel Loofah" O'Reilly's sexual harrassment case? And the Better'n Pound poetry! You lead me to good places.
