just a few quick links and a note

• Does your heart pitter-pat with a patriotic sound when you see a ginormoid SUV sporting one of those yellow or stars&stripes ribbons? Yeah. Now you can beat them while you join them. Hee!


• Oh my. "The Salvador option." Almost makes you nostalgic for the good old days when our government at least had enough shame to be covert about this sort of crap, doesn't it?


• Already made a generous donation to the tsunami relief efforts? Excellent. Now take a few moments to examine these before & after satellite photos and give more cash. The destruction really is almost incomprehensible.


• Apparently, last night, the People's Choice Awards for best film and best dramatic film went to Fahrenheit 9/11 and The Passion of the Christ, respectively. Um. Hm. The People? Are weird.
