Weekend link dump for December 8

Some handy recipes for your next Thanksgiving.

Meet your very early Presidential candidates for 2016. They all have a better chance of being elected than Rudy Giuliani did at this point in the 2008 cycle.

Santa Claus, Bigfoot, and job creators. Can you guess what they have in common?

Remember when “more Catholic than the Pope” was just an expression?

RIP Elwood, the world’s ugliest dog.

“Missing-person lists are nothing new, but in any given disaster, they were often difficult to search or find at all. If relief work could be considered an industry, then Person Finder is an example of what Google does best: disrupt an inefficient one.”

RIP, T. R. Fehrenbach, noted Texas historian.

If you have a D-Link router, you need to get an update for it.

Amazon delivery drones. I don’t know about that. Most likely, it’s just hype and PR.

“Professors from the College of Law brought Potter and Snape to trial Tuesday at noon in the Moot Courtroom as a mock trial demonstration for law students.

I have the remake of “The Sound of Music” on my TiVo, awaiting an opportunity to watch, if only to see if all the hate is accurate. Be that as it may, the reason I’ll always watch a rerun of the classic “Sound of Music” has nothing to do with learning lessons about WWII and everything to do with the fact that I love the music. Hell, I’d rather just watch a highlight reel of the movie that’s little more than each song.

The useful idiots of apartheid.
