I have developed a horrible habit of bookmarking things that I want to blog about, and then completely forgetting about them when something else catches my eye.
So, since I have nothing of importance to say today, here's my overly-organized version of a linkdump. It is, admittedly, ginormous. Feel free to read any or all -- or none -- of these things, and comment accordingly.

Awesome links. I own MSCL!
I ordered the MSCL DVDs, and am looking forward to October, when I can overdose on Jordan Catalano.
Damn you Dara - I have to work today and you give all these cool links (sans the Mommy Democrat book, haha).
Really like that Cracked website - which leads me to wondering who is more delusional - Penecostals or Scientologists?
Now, I just need to find a charge code for reading random links on a blogpost. Good stuff today.
Bo, no one said you had to read them all today. With my frequency of posting, they should be up on the front page for at least two weeks. Pace yourself.
Funny links. Will we ever read your take on any of them?
My official position is "Res ipsa loquitur." Most of these are just fun reads and I have nothing to add. Well, except to the article about rock stars dying young. My official response to that is "No shit, Sherlock."
But if you have a question about my take on anything specific, let me know and I'll oblige.
Tchotchkes are of better quality than chozzerai? Awesome! Who knew!!
