's gonna be short today, kids - I'm drop-dead tired with waaaay too much to do yet today (four chapters of Spinoza. Gaga help me).

> This article's subtitle ("War Crime Allegations Threaten to Harm America's Image") quite literally made me laugh out loud. Ya think?

> I would very much like to hear more about this: "Remembering the US Soldier Who Committed Suicide After She Refused to Take Part in Torture"

> Via Jezebel: a Colombia University acappella group takes on Dr. Dre's "Bitches Ain't Shit." This waaay beats the Ben Folds cover I, uh, may or may not possess.

> Will.I.Am with the Muppets! Arguably even more awesome is the other [famous singer(s)] + muppets combinations linked in the comments. My favorite is Destiny's Child! Beyonce looks so young...man, I feel old.

From the comments: Jason Mraz. On Sesame Street. In a laundromat. With a guitar. LOAD FASTER, VIDEO! LOAD FASTER!
 

> The For Colored Girls trailer is out! And so far...I am cautiously optimistic. I've vaguely familiar with the play (For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf) - I managed a student project last year that featured selections from it. I'm still a bit concerned about how to make something that dramatic work on film...but. The trailer is pretty great.

> Clearly the last few days have not lent themselves to much news consumption :(

> Yesterday was Cupcake Tuesday! And all was well.
