Today is World AIDS Day. This is the first time since 1988 that the US government has refused to observe it.

This year's winner of the Unintended Irony Award. No shade on Habitat for Humanity, it's a wonderful organization, but some PR outfit really reamed them with this: a house-shaped wooden key fob that can't even survive a trip through the mail.
