I've Got the Links You Crave

• Thank God for Wikipedia. I don't know why I would ever need an exhaustive list of fictional U.S. Presidents, but it's good to know it's there (the history books never mention Richard Nixon's record-breaking five, non-consecutive terms in the White House).
• It's an election year, so of course Diddy is threatening potential voters with death. Jesse Taylor tells you what to do if you find yourself confronted by Mr. Combs and his brute squad.
• Finally, I hate animals as much as the next guy, but for some reason Jon Katz's pet and farm-animal columns in Slate always make me smile, like this tale of a dog and a sheep who became best fwiends friends.
