Morning Dear, time to get up. No, you can’t have ten more minutes. Get in the shower and get going. You don’t want to miss the bus.
Here are a couple cute bunneh videos to make the world seem kinder at this ungodly hour.
There. Isn’t that better. Have a great day.
Hope you had a great day. Last week, we posted some of our favorite weird articles from the wonderful world of Wikipedia. I thought I’d post a few more for your late night amusement.
The Boston Molasses Disaster. Nice to know corporate incompetence has such a long tradition in America.
Captain Midnight. Best tax protest, evar.
The Beaumont Children. Three Australian children who disappeared without a trace in 1966. A fascinating cold case.
Have a great night.
Good evening gang. Hope you are having a nice dinner and a relaxing wind down from the day. Since Oscar Week is upon is, let’s talk movies. What are your three favorites of all time? Here’s mine:
Honorable mention:
Have a great evening.
Enjoying your work day? Me neither, but here we all are. Welcome to Great Recession America. Since it’s unlikely any of us are going to get to sneak out early, and the spouse would be pissed if we did happy hour this early in the week, here’s a tribute to your hard-working ass.
Have a great day.

The Washington Post looks at the effectiveness of drone attacks in Pakistan against al-Qaeda. The article evaluates the success of the program in the context of the monetary costs and the diplomatic problems created by civilian deaths.
The Seattle Times looks at how media spending by the Gates foundation affects the coverage given to certain news stories. The Foundation has become a big player in advocacy journalism and the report examines some of the implications of the organization’s ability to influence the coverage of development and world health issues.
Have a great afternoon.
