Links for nicer weather.

You really should click through, there are more fun links this week than ever before!

• The Bitchy Waiter Blog – A nice palate cleanser on a rough day.
• Liz wants this. DROOL. I could actually take my son along to drop him off at school or camp while I BIKE TO WORK!
• The provincial lawyer who is helping plot an emirate coup – Our addiction to oil puts us in bed with some really regressive people.
• Sleep If You’re Tired, Don’t If You’re Not – An old friend opines on napping. I happen to agree with him.
• Nuclear Follies: How Not To Stop the BP Oil Gusher – A reasonable and point-by-point explanation of why nuking the Gulf oil well leak is not a good idea.
• Bloody June – Soldiers are still fighting and dying in Afghanistan.

• Women Forced to Breastfeed Adult Men in Saudi Arabia – Disgusting. Period.
• Re-Attracting Young Voters Back to the Obama Coalition – Dismissing young voters is both insulting and dumb. It’s about reaching out to young people in their own context, just like we do for other parts of the Democratic coalition.

These are among the reasons that my wife and I will be signing up for these license plates.
