NPR:

He waved toward the cameras and the pool. It was then that he spotted the adorable baby nestled in the arms of ABC’s Ann Compton. It was time for an executive decision to change course, so he veered sharply to his right and made a beeline for the baby and her grandmother. The baby was Olivia Hughes, age six months … When the president arrived at the rope line, he commanded, “Give me that baby.”

Obama’s executive actions are getting out of control!!! crazy

Awful Link of the Day: The Fountain Pen Network

Finding fellow pen enthusiasts in everyday offline life can be difficult. For some reason, normal people just can’t appreciate the fine handiwork of a vintage leather imported stainless steel Visconti Rotring M1750 pen with customized golden nibs and Zytel-cotated shatter resistance.

Look, Jake, I know for that for some weird reason you’re a bit squeamish about facilitating the assassination of a US president

But trust me, an old man with Alzheimer’s: acquiescing to a terrorist’s demands and getting killed by a drone in the middle of a stadium is the only logical thing to do

I thought I’d check in on Titan Shelters, a company that made modern fallout shelters for the paranoid survivalist set. They produced a great, surreal commercial featuring a mom talking about how she needs to protect her kids from terrorism.

Turns out it was a big scam and they never actually made the shelters, so they’ve apparently rebranded as Titan Storm Shelters. Also they removed the commercial from YouTube, which is a real crime.
