2. Schwarzenegger to Hometown: Shove it:

   In the letter, Schwarzenegger also said he would no longer permit the use of his name "to advertise or promote the city of Graz in any way" and would return the city's "ring of honor."
   
   The ring was given to him in a ceremony in Graz in 1999. At the time, Schwarzenegger said he considered it "a token of sincere friendship between my hometown and me."
   
   "Since, however, the official Graz appears to no longer accept me as one of their own, this ring has lost its meaning and value to me. It is already in the mail," the governor wrote.

   Kick ass.

4. WHEDONesque: Email group supports Firefly/Serenity filk music.. Neat, gotta check out what's there. One thing they have is Fruity Oaty Bars!

   And, if you think fan music will be bad, this says different (search for the mp3 down the thread).

5. John at Power Line reminds us of the importance of what's probably the most important provision in the Patriot Act. How Jamie Gorelick was on the 9/11 Commission and not called to testify is beyond my comprehension.

   Also, John's been doing a lot of writing on the NSA spying brouhaha, including this piece, that's worth checking out.
