From the Blogroll: Things You Shouldn't Miss...

(The "lighter" edition)

"They tried to make me go to jihad... I said no no no..."

*Video Link H/T: Six Meat Buffet in a post entitled "Moderate Muslims Attack". If only the song (parody of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab") was the theme song for moderate Muslims...

Monica has a great "Blogging the Surge" story posted about the Iraqi children and their thoughts about the American soldiers and marines. I loved this:

"Where do you want to live? Do you want to leave Iraq?"
"No, I want to live here in my neighborhood."

"Are you afraid of Americans?"
"I love them!"
"Why?"
"Because they don't shoot at us."
Thanks for posting this Grizzly Momma!

Robbie over at Urban Grounds just found out what "Emo" kids were. If you're a parent and you don't know, you should go check out his post. And for us hipsters that already knew, it's still a funny post.

Captain America over at First In! details for us the "new America" of customer service telephone calls. I completely feel your pain CA. Though I should mention that GoDaddy.com had the best (English-as-a-first-language) customer service I have experienced in a long time!

It seems there's a NYC/Philly (maybe other cities also?) Blogger phenomenon that I was unaware of. Phillybits has details and pictures of "Reflectorman/Stickman" spottings... It seems that no one knows who put them there, or why they're there, but there's even a Flickr group to post the sightings. Can anyone shed some light?
