It's going to be a busy couple of days, and the news is sort of blah today, so here's some links to posts to infrom, amuse and enthuse. Starting with the song in my head.

Dan at Pruning Shears rounds up the Week in Tyranny. He also has the list of votes on the great sell-out the taxpayer bail-out bill.

Meanwhile, there's Women Against McCain Palin and dirk gently is blogging again, under his real name..

Here's a great idea for your Halloween pumpkins.

And finally, putting aside the presidential race for a moment, thanks to noblejoanie for this video that made me cry. A returning soldier from Iraq is greeted by his dogs.

Also, to end on a happier note, this is really old but I dug it out when I was cleaning my inbox. Pages and pages of amazing
sand sculptures.
