Link, Friend, Link Link

-Suicide Attempts By U.S. Soldiers This is apparently another result of the government's continued mistreatment of its favorite rallying flag. There is anecdotal evidence of a mounting drug problem among troops as well.

-Lawrence blogs about the DRC for Africa Matters. Also see his analysis for the Diplomatic Courier.

-Could a Will Smith movie actually seem palatable? There's definitely more to be said about this but I can't quite figure out what at present.

-Epicly Later'd stepping up its game to do a 16-part (!!!!) series on John Cardiel. Cardiel is famous for his rail- and bowl-slaying part in Transworld's Sight Unseen video and for generally stepping up to the plate harder than younger pros who should be way hungrier. The intro monologue about his brush with paralysis says a lot about him and the brighter side of the skateboarding ethic generally.
