Politics, mostly.
First of all, thank you to everyone for the lovely birthday greetings (if I missed anyone then I'm terribly sorry!) - esp to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
curiouswombat for the e-card. :)
Birthday has continued to spread its brilliance - I am now (thanks to a gift-card and two copies of the same book) the owner of S1 of Torchwood (£23 at WHSmith's!). And sure S1 is depressing and not terribly good, but... it's MINE! (Btw was no one in the mood for TW crack? Not that you have to be, or anything, and it IS an incredibly silly fic, but usually people like crack...)

ANYWAY, onto (US) politics, and some links:
Obama's grandfather. Seriously, check out the likeness!
st_salieri brought laughter to me with How Would Buffy Vote?
TIME has a fascinating article about Obama and when he met General David Petraeus. (Obama had a choice at that moment. He could thank Petraeus for the briefing and promise to take his views "under advisement." Or he could tell Petraeus what he really thought, a potentially contentious course of action — especially with a general not used to being confronted. Obama chose to speak his mind.)
LOLnews. Because politics need macros!
Understanding Real America in Wasilla. (The Daily Show. Need I say more?)
Finally one of THE best things I've seen - The Vet Who Did Not Vet:
