Linker Barn: Weekend Warrior Edition

It’s business as usual by the bay, with the usual cast of characters–a murderer turned priest gets defrocked, Tour de Fat is underway, Care Not Cash is getting raked over the coals, and the Rude Pundit is taking a crap on John McCain.
Food for thought as the weekend rolls on:

Israel uncovers Bush assassination plot.

SAINT Award: James Tramel and Bleeding Heart John Does 1-99

Depth of Summer Continued

So anyway, I’m all of a sudden sitting around with way too much time on my hands, despite a bunch of freelance writing I’m doing. It’s summer, the weather is fine, and I’ve got nary an immediate care in the world.

Bill Gates Retirement Plan

Bill Gates has officially retired, but it’s hard to imagine him just hanging around the office trying to make himself useful by doing some filing or getting coffee for the gang.
Here’s some of the plans he’ll be considering over the Independence Day weekend:
