The Linkage for Oct. 29th
Here’s a quick look at what I was reading online from Oct. 6th to Oct. 29th:
Top 5 Awful Dalek Cakes
Tags: funny food doctor_who

The Christian Science Monitor announced they are going to ditch their daily print edition in 2009, becoming the first major national paper to scrap the presses and provide daily content solely online.
Breaking Bad News with Baby Animals

I must now buy this book. Or at least browse through a copy at my local retailer.
McCain's brother calls 911 with traffic complaint
Tags: 2008_election republicans funny
More proof that no matter which side of the political spectrum you're on, everybody has a relative who does stupid things. And another example of old people and phones not being a good combination.
Lou Holtz drops an H-bomb on the air
Tags: football media television espn
You know your college football analyst is a little long in the tooth when he's making inappropriate Hitler references during the show.
Russian fleet would consider leaving Sevastopol
Tags: russia ukraine
Russia's deputy prime minister said that if the Ukranian government wished, Russia would pull its Black Sea fleet out of Sevastopol when their current lease expires in 2017.

Astros' pitcher involved in drunken hotel brawl
Tags: astros stupid crime baseball
A great start for the Astros offseason. Nothing beats a middle-of-the-line starter who's spent most of the past three seasons on the DL getting to a hotel bar fight with police while defending an underage drinker.
