Oh, hey, look at the shiny pretty
I have a book review of sorts to post later for SBD, but first, I wanted to share some links and videos.
Er, also, today is the deadline for AAR's Top 100 voting. I couldn't be arsed to list 100 books. Really, I get lost after the first 20 or so. But it's always interesting to see what other people through were the best of romance to date. When the list is published, I'll give my opinion book by book, just to compare my taste with the standard/average reader taste.
Now, onto the links and videos.
First, okay, government cheese, yes, whatever, plus the farm subsidy, which needs to be seriously reconsidered. But now the federal government is pushing the consumption of even more cheese?
Second, courtesy of Bill in Exile, is this very funny video explaining the Fed's retarded fiscal policy, quantitative easing.
Next, a while ago TBC and I discussed how we preferred different versions of songs, live vs. album vs. covered by others. For example, Green Day's Whatshername on the album is pretty good but not my favorite song and the version of the cast album is ~meh~ to me. And yet I love this version from the AOL Sessions (despite all the guyliner John Gallagher Jr. is sporting):
And last, seriously, would you ever guess that this guy was a governor?

His band, O'Malley's March, played local gigs before his political career kicked into high(ish) gear, first as mayor of Baltimore then governor of Maryland. I heard on the radio that last year they played at the Baltimore Irish Festival, so I'm assuming they still fit some performances in with the busy gubernatorial schedule.
