QUICK LINKS
From the glass-lined servers of KenneyMarlatt.com, we tender these links for your enjoyment as a tribute to your good taste:
>> The other day, Stephen Colbert's Better Know A District featured the District of Columbia -- the Fightin' District!
>> Meanwhile YouTube has the Net Neutrality bit from the Daily Show. It, of course, reminds us that the Internet is a series of tubes. (It also reminds us that John Hodgman ... is a P.C.)
>> While you are on YouTube check out the two-minute version of The Big Lebowski.
>> Kitchen Confidential author Anthony Bourdain was trapped in Lebanon last week. Said the celeb chef in e-mails from Beirut: "We — unlike most Lebanese, have been (relatively) safe and secure during this. Trapped, yes — but trapped by a freaking swimming pool."
>> The Icon Factory is redesigning their Web site. They are counting down to the new design with a series of icon-based animations that, without words or sound, tell the story of the redesign. It's amazingly entertaining.
That's it for today, but remember this: Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

We did go into downtown Cancun one night and eat at a local restaurant. That was really good. And we had dinner last night at the Hilton, which has a cool restaurant right on the beach.

I did overhear one fantastic exchange at the pool:
