September already? Links...


What the fuck? Is the summer really over already? This is just an old picture that reminds me of fall. It's the old bridge over the railroad tracks by Hinsdale Hospital.

I thought I'd post a few links of some of the sites I like to cruise. Overheard In New York is a great site. It's just a bunch of crazy quotes people overhear on the street of the city. I'm sure most of you know about it already.

I get the bulk of my news, especially the international stuff at Guardian Unlimited and BBC News. They both have great reporting, great photographs, and of course are on the liberal side.

If you want to see really ghoulish stuff including insurgent videos of IED attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq go to Ogrish. It is NSFW obviously, and if you find real violence offensive DO NOT VISIT! It shows you the true terrible face of war, though, and some of the grim realities of humanity that are often edited out of life.

Enjoy, and welcome to somber September.

EDIT: I FIXED THE LINKS

this was the shortest summer in the history of the universe. i think i want to build a floating city that always follows the sunshine, good weather, and sexy young girls in shorts with writing on their asses.

I will follow you and this city anywhere.

Nice links (Hm you might want to try to fix some of them). Yeah, I don't wholly trust CNN, and find it scary that a large portion of our nation does without question.

These next few months are going to be just beautiful...

Just give me a link to whatever Bill O'Reilly's sayin' at every moment of the day -- he's fair and balanced and you know it.
