Excellent links this afternoon. Big comedy mash post coming up, so check back.

First I would like to remind our 15,000 email and RSS readers who rarely, if ever, visit the site (aren't you glad we provide full-feed rss), that we have a second page called HEADLINES where we post some of our contributor's editorials and also videos. In addition, I have a habit of filling the comments sections of all of our stories with tons of links, some related and some not. I read (skim) approximately 200 articles per day and most of them end up in the various comment sections. So if you're into that sort of thing, you might want to start checking out comments.
