Crash Burn Grab Bag

In absence of a bunch of energy for writing a full-bodied post with a tart aftertaste, I'm going to drop a few links that I've been checking out recently.

... Gina directed me to the Bad Fads Museum, a site dedicated to reliving and recounting all the downright weird fads of the past 100 years. Mainly, this site reinforces my opinion that people can think some really silly things are cool, and I like that. If we can always look back and laugh at ourselves later, then that's a good sign for humanity.

... In the Surprise Combo Final Move Iraqality of the political arena, the U.S. backed out of Iraq today, two days ahead of schedule. But all our troops our still there, and most of the general Iraqi populace still resent that fact. And if we did totally pull out, would it really get any safer? Who knows. It does seem neat that the government can still pull off a few slick tricks every now and then, though.

Well, that was really only one linkdrop and a rare political commentary, but hey, that's what the Crash Burn Grab Bag is all about.
