Link-a-licious

A few great links for today:

Daniel Nexon at The Duck of Minerva has an excellent post about the plane crash that started the Rwandan violence in 1994. Not a happy story.

Twisty at I Blame the Patriarchy exposes the hideous Vagina Institute, which claims to be the norm in deciding whether a woman's vagina looks good or not. This is some seriously fucked up shit.

Yglesias properly ridicules the lame right-wing attempts to slam Obama now that he has declared his candidacy.

Via Phronesisaical (the hardest to spell name in the blogosphere), Norwegianity puts together an excellent set of Brazilian MP3s. Great music. Check it out.
