Link Dump!

McSweeney's is hilarious.

Here's a list of how to ask the questions that everybody wants to ask of the President.

An example:
A while back, a wire story on the contents of your personal iPod reported that you were listening to the Knack, Credence Clearwater Revival, and Van Morrison. Noticeably absent from the reported playlist at that time were any classic '70s soul-music artists such as Al Green or James Brown. Perhaps you have added some Marvin Gaye to the rotation since that story. I wonder if you'd like to update us on your current iPod selections. Have you no soul, Mr. President?

Thanks to Snopes, we have a good guide on how to hire women.

An example:

Give every girl an adequate number of rest periods during the day. Companies that are already using large numbers of women stress the fact that you have to make some allowances for feminine psychology. A girl has more confidence and consequently is more efficient if she can keep her hair tidied, apply fresh lipstick and wash her hands several times a day.
Another gem:

Get enough size variety in operator uniforms that each girl can have a proper fit. This point can't be stressed too strongly as a means of keeping women happy, according to western properties.

I love the bit about tidy hair. I think that's so very important to morale. It's a good thing I'm a guy, cause otherwise I would have to wash my hands several times a day before I could be efficient.
