Sorry for being a Debbie Downer

I hate to bring the real world into this fanciful blog, but if you have $1 to spare, please git it to the Darfur Wall. Or someone else who is deserving. I have been personally touched by this issue, but there are plenty more where that came from, so forgo a burrito and help someone. Please.

P.S. - I chose "200801" simply because it's January, 2008.

Blue ice

I'm basically revealing my sources here, but an interesting post on MetaFilter about a woman suing her meth dealer for some bad drugs.

Stop me if I get political

If I can't spend more than I have, why can George W. Bush? He's deficit spent more than the first 37 presidents and 197 years combined. Since I've been alive, Democrats have cut deficit spending all but four times; Republicans have raised it all but four times. Since when is it okay to take $500 million loans from East Asian communists to fund Middle Eastern wars of aggression? Sometimes I've got to vent.

Love > Communism

Wow.

Hell froze over

Snow in Baghdad (Full disclosure: I stole that joke from a blog and my best friend.)

The horror

Twins separated at birth, raised by different families, meet in adulthood, marry.

I know I say this everyday, but this time I really mean it

I want to live here so badly.

Who died in Iraq how and when

The only question not answered by this graph: why?

The only primary that matters

The Baby Primary. Bonus: Swift Kids for Truth.

Not a Muslim? Living in Malaysia?

Then you can't print "Allah." Since, y'know the use of the word "Allah" by non-Muslims may arouse sensitivity and create confusion among Muslims in the country.
