More goodness from McCain’s VP pick: “[Former Wasilla mayor] Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. “She asked the library how she could go about banning books,” he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. “The librarian was aghast.” The librarian, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn’t be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire her for not giving “full support” to the mayor.” That paragraph comes from TIME magazine. OY. (And according to the comments on Jessamyn’s site, the librarian DID get fired, only to be reinstated and later resign.)

Cream Cheese Penguins. SO CUTE. And the idea of pairing them with a cheeseball igloo is just brilliant.

The Handpresso. I need one of these! I hate the coffee that comes out of the machine at work.

My sister has succumbed to the lure of vampire smut…

ZOMG. Hypercolor is back. We really are doing this reliving-the-80’s thing, aren’t we?

HELLO, Daniel Radcliffe! (Snookums is going to start calling me Germaine Greer again…)

Baby Name Explorer. Pretty neat little graphs! “Kristine” peaked in the 1950’s, oddly, but poor “Rodd” doesn’t even show up on the list.

Rottweiler plays with kitten. Awwwwwwwww. Trans-species friendship! Eileen is going to love this. (Note to Snookums: Envision our cat as the rottweiler. Won’t it be adorable??)
