Due to popular demand (read: heckling from my asshole friends), I will update the blog despite being ass-busy. But here's my idea. I'll post at least 5 links a day. That way you'll all get regular posts, but I won't actually have to eat up that much time. Certainly I read at least that many articles, see that many picture posts, etc. Maybe a lil' commentary here and there, but nothin too big. Oh, and one video. We'll see how this goes.

• Great, yet another reason to subscribe to the New York Times. Ugh, I just can't justify spending that much money on a newspaper I'll only read half of every day if I'm lucky. Still, I <3 Daniel Clowes. So who knows?
  

• Hah! Bundys in Russian! An article I saw in the NYT a few days ago talked about Married... With Children in its phenomenally successful Russian incarnation. It uses basically the same scripts as the original show, but in Russian. God Bless America.

• Disagreeing with Israel: finally allowed for American Jews. Unless you're this guy.

• For all the bellyaching going on about Petraeus SHOCKING report that we're doing so well that we must stay forever, here's a great post by Greenwald about how America's war culture works, and here's a hilarious post from Duncan Black about the importance of September 15th in the GOP datebook. I'm sure they'll follow up, right? Right? Guys? ((crickets))

• Taking apart an iPod Touch.

Lastly, this is for two musical giants that the world lost this year, and one of the weirdest meetings between musical giants since Neil Young played in a band with Rick James. RIP Pavarotti. RIP Brown. Pour one out for your homeys.
