Noteworthy(ish) items and a request
Ann Arbor streets are dotted with little 'fairy' entryways.
"I've never been to a city before where a tourist attraction has you down on you knees," Mr. Foley said.

gmskarka's post from yesterday, informing me that Elliot Abrams is the Deputy National Security Advisor. Christ. I realize that all politicians are, in some way or another, crooks. But it's a sad state of affairs when nearly every high-ranking person in the current presidential administration has, in some way or another, actually been convicted of a crime. As gmskarka points out, they're criminals. Not just crooks and liars. Criminals.
In other random (cheerier) news is this story about fortune cookies. I thought it was interesting that of the five or so fortunes they list at the bottom, I have two taped to my wall here at work.
And, finally, F-list folks: Please put your YouTube links behind an lj-cut (or just link them the old fashioned way). I know they don't play automatically, but it does make the f-list page slow to load. I know it's all exciting to use the new insert feature thing, but it makes the f-list page slow to load. It's not a horrible problem for me, but I know lots of people are still on dial-up, and it's just a nice thing to do. Please. LJ-cut. It's the right thing to do.
