Oh man the PEEPS
Here's some distractions for you on this lovely Monday morning. I'm busting it at work, which means, paradoxically, that I get both more working AND more blog-reading done.
- PEEPS DIORAMAS. It is as awesome as it sounds. Wow. My favorite: number eight (note the 'censored' sign - ha!), but the grand prize winner is pretty amazing too. (belatedly via Ellen)
- Some folks from Corvallis (which is, ahem, west of the mountains) got USDA money to do a feasibility study for a windfarm in Malheur County. It's about time! Man, have we got wind. And man, could we use some environmentally friendly economic development. (via the Argus)
- Fainting goats. Maybe you've already heard of 'em, but.. yeah. One of my friends out here has a brother who's about to buy some. You really need to watch this video. Hilarious. (via YouTube)
- TAP has a great short piece on America's Cuba policy. I particularly liked this quote from a WaPo editorial, which they highlighted: "We should unite around a principle that Democrats and Republicans have long embraced, a principle that aided the West's success in the Cold War: American openness is a source of strength, not a concession to dictatorships."
