A Bit of Advice For Bloggers From Your Friendly Neighborhood Cake Eater

When your head is stuffy and you're finding it increasingly hard to locate the kleenex box, let alone think originally, yet need new content for your blog, I've got two words that magically spell out your solution: link dump. Say it with me: "leeeeeenk dummmmp." Very good boys and girls, and since my head is stuffy and I don't have anything very original to say, I will point you to people who do have something original to say.

You ready? Excellent. Away we go...

• My Maximum Leader is a wee bit cheesed that the Olympic Flame will be earning frequent flyer miles.
• I listened to President Bush's speech this morning, and while I thought it was good, I have to say I think Chad's got a point about how it's likely to be received.
• There's been a bit of a brouhaha in the 'sphere about N.Z Bear's idea of potentially re-valuing links within the Ecosystem's unfathomable algorithms. You can find a small sampling of what bloggers think here, here, here and here.
• Chrissy got smoked on the freeway by an El Dorado yesterday and, in true Oliver Stone flashback fashion, it brought back some interesting memories.
• Sheila, once again, lets us share and revel in her obsession with Cary Grant and has an awesome post about the last scene in Notorious. I, for one, am really glad Sheila has her obsession with Cary because it allows me to indulge in my obsession with Cary, but I don't have to do nearly as much work as I would have to do normally to keep the obsession up to par. If that makes any sense whatsoever, which I don't think it does, but hey, I've got a cold so you people should be indulging me
• The Llamas would like you to kindly buy some of their merchandise. But don't buy a thong with their visage on it. That would just be wrong. In too many ways to count.

And herein endeth the link dumpage. I'm off to make some chamomile/peppermint tea which I will drink while sitting on the sofa and spacing out.
