odds and ends

Because I'm procrastinating, here are a few random links that caught my attention today.

• On a semi-Banned Books theme, the Memory Hole has published the complete FBI file on Martin Luther King, in all its 16,659-page glory.



• The great City of St. Louis is looking to hire a new police chief. This post, like so many of posts on Mayor Slay's blog, is infinitely more entertaining if you imagine The Wire theme song of your choice playing in the background. (NOTE: if you haven't seen The Wire, there are five theme songs. Also, you really, really should see the Wire.)
  



• As I've said many times before, Stephen Colbert is a great man.
  

"This does not mean The Market is not God. It just means
The Market is a dangerous and destructive god." Amen.

• In that same vein, Wondermark is always amazingly funny, but today's strip was extra good.

And now, back to work.
