Link roundup

1. I received in the mail a copy of The Year of the Rabbit: Tales from the Chinese Zodiac by Oliver Chin and Justin Roth - - the latest high quality kid's book from Immedium Press. $10 at Amazon.

2. Gotta love a shop that offers a "Free skeleton with every purchase."

3. "'Sarah Palin’s Alaska' set a ratings record for a premiere on TLC, attracting nearly five million viewers — twice the audience of last month's season finale of the blue-state cable favorite, 'Mad Men.'" (I had no interest in watching either.)
