Weekend link dump for August 19

Last week of freedom, kids.

Election fraud is a lot more prosaic than its most vocal partisans would have you think.

I hope to remain clear-headed enough to never be tempted to climb Mount Everest.

People have been pounding caffeine for pretty much ever.

Nuns On The Bus >> Mitt Romney.

Pity the poor, picked-on Koch Brothers. Try being decent human beings instead of greedy scuzzballs, fellas. It might help.

What do Christian fundamentalists have against set theory? Don’t mess with Georg Cantor, that’s all I know.

Two words: Bacon s’mores. You’re welcome.

Some excellent Julia Child video clips in honor of what would have been her 100th birthday.

Pottypalooza appears to have been a success.

No more meta-serious conversing about the issues! We had the power to be actually seriously conversing about them all along!

Bye, ALEC. Smell ya later.

Of course our Jumbotrons are bigger in Texas. What did you expect?

Jane Eyre = Bella Swan. Discuss. And I was never much impressed by classical literature, either.

Apparently there are consequences for being a lying liar. Sometimes, anyway. Who knew?

Sometimes, the machine rages against you.
