Dienstagmorgenfliegezeitung

I love writing long, obnoxious post titles in German. I especially love Dienstagmorgenfliegezeitung. Anyway, not much time today, but here are a few items that I've collected over the last few days.

Take care of your feet when running or exercising (Times)

Ian Pannell in Afghanistan (BBC), John D. McHugh's video and commentary from Afghanistan (Guardian)

Hezbollah spy thriller grips Arab world (Guardian)

The world "must eventually stop emitting any carbon" (Times) - only if we stop breathing, which I don't intend to do!

Why Henry VIII Matters (Times Blog)

Why Kids Should be Learning about Kings and Queens (Times Blog)

Russian army scraps new uniforms (BBC), Japan to give $40M to dismantle Russian submarines (AFP)

As usual, Michael Totten has an excellent article about the "Pashtunistan" factor in the AfPak war. I'm going to do something today that I almost never do: I'm sending money to Michael Totten. Friends are usually able to get money out of me, but I rarely donate to people whom I don't know directly. I'm sending Michael Totten fifty bucks. He's that good.

That's probably sufficient for today. Stay out of trouble, folks.
