Finally, just to clarify: sometimes the morning links involve a bunch of cryptic jokes.  I do that because it amuses me, and doing the links is often tedious and boring.  Sometimes the morning links are like the above.  I run an animal shelter, and we started from scratch with no employees and no fundraising base.  I work 60 hours a week, and sometimes I just don't have it in me to try to think up jokes.  For whatever reason, the last few weeks has featured a lot of kibitzing about that, coinciding with a time when I've basically just been largely just putting the links out there with one sentence descriptions.  So, a suggestion: hover over the links if you can't figure out what the link might be.  Or click and hit the back button.  These links aren't being delivered by carrier pigeon, and there are a lot of tools to solve your problem.
