Some Interesting bits and pieces from here and there

Well my friends, I hate to admit it, but I'm too damn brain dead and tired to write a "real" article today.... or yesterday for that matter, lol.  Sorry- I promise I'll find my last brain cell tomorrow.. or maybe the day after.


I've had a pile of interesting articles sent my way though and thought I'd share some of them with you.  I've just spent over an hour trolling the various news sites to see what's happening in the world and basically this is it:

-fiscal cliff
-debt ceiling reached
-poor ol' Hillary's "blood clot"
-kim kardashian is pregnant
- oh, and the fiscal cliff

That's about it, all the news in the news. Oh and what the fashionable people wore in 2012.   

There, now you don't even have to waste your time looking.

On with the interesting links.

 These first two don't even surprise me, but pisses me off royally:

(... not that they actually "killed" Osama, unless they dug up his corpse and shot it a few times just to be sure.  But I digress)
