Those of you who were away for the Memorial Day weekend missed some fun. For example, you missed:

How the French Bombed Kyoto
How Freedom of Speech was preserved by a small hosting provider
How a Pulitzer recipient proved she didn't deserve one
How Dean got so cussed and ornery about religion, and
How no one will be truly free until chickens come to the rescue.

That'll serve you all right for taking time to celebrate family, friend, and country!
