Links from others today. Thanks, everyone!

From Bunny: work stress is out of control.

From Zazoo: there's a river of crystals in New Mexico!

From Cassandra: Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell says that UFOs are real; a movie titled Hell's Gate is in production at local haunted tavern Bobby Mackey's; "death tourists" go to Mexico to get euthanasia drugs; the current government isn't doing a damned thing to help sick nuclear plant workers; and the Mysterious People website is full of interesting information.

I think the Beijing Olympic mascots are cute, myself, but most of the Gawker commenters don't agree. But you should see some of the previous mascots!

And finally....Obama buttons are available for free. Free! Free hope! Free buttons! Hooray! Have a spiffy weekend, everyone. See you on Monday.
