I’m back from my mini-vacation. Just sayin’.
I’ll be back to posting at least once a day Monday through Friday, with optional posts on the weekends, I promise, at least until I stop doing that.

- Political activists The Yes Men are saving the world again.
- President Obama addresses the grave dangers of Wild Things, and Where They Are:
